Hellboy (2019)
8/10
Hell Yes!
14 April 2019
I'm a huge fan of the Perlman movies and the original comics, so I was sceptical about seeing this reboot - particularly as I was disappointed that there wouldn't be a third movie with Perlman in. But I throughly enjoyed this. I laughed out loud at a lot of the jokes. The dialogue was perfect!

Yes, the ending was predictable, but I expect that for a superhero origins story. And the Osiris Club were very cliche British, but it doesn't distract from the story line; it adds to the humour!

Milla was superb in her role and I loved her every scene. Feel free to bring her back for the sequel! And after a few minutes you forgot that it was David Harbour on screen - he was just Hellboy.

It was wonderful to see Daniel Dae Kim as Ben - and as sidekicks go he's a lot more practical than Abe (much as I love Abe) and I was so proud of Ed Skrein for passing up the role in favour of an Asian actor. We need more of this.

As far as the action sequences go - it's very full on with plenty of gore and blood and flying body parts.

If I'd paid attention to the critics, I wouldn't have gone to see this and I would have missed out.

If I could meet the people that made this, I'd give them a hug and say "thanks"! Because there is so much love in this.

Bring on the sequel!!

Beautiful and awesome

Probably my favourite out of this year's Sci-Fi London's anime all-nighter. A beautifully made film, with absolutely stunning action scenes that will take your breath away.

Various buildings have been bombed in capital cities across the world, and the cyborgs have gathered with their creator to find out who the mysterious "His Voice" is behind it.

The story itself is a simple spy plot, with unexpected character twists. The Cyborgs are as human as anyone and demand your affection for their faults, falibilities and heroics.

Besides being a joy to look at, the characters are realistic, funny and very likable. You care about who is still standing at the very climatic, scenic finish, involving stupendous ariel shots of the cities and then the earth.

The ending had a rather odd message but was a through delight. I will be buying this ASAP.
