Hellboy the Crooked Man



I didn't think it could get worse than that 2019 reboot but here we are

Allegedly Mike Mignola didn't want it and Del Toro was asking for a lot of money

Looks like an expensive Fan-Film from a franchise that we just don't need.

It looks like a movie I would enjoy.

Lets be honest though, every other Hell Boy is going to be subpar without Ron Pearlman.

I really wish we got that 3rd movie to finish the original "trilogy".

I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, it indeed looks fan-made and Hellboy doesn't have that imposing stature that Pearlman and Harbour possessed (perhaps it taking place in the character's younger days is trying to excuse this). On the other, however, this was co-written by Mignola himself and is based directly on the comic series of the same name.

I'll probably rent/stream this one.

well if this is any indication about the movie

Releasing on Digital PVOD and limited release in theaters in roughly around 2 weeks. Digital pre-order is up on Vudu

When you consider all of the compelling independent comic book material out there, it's really hard to understand how this franchise keeps getting a shot on film while so many others get nothing.

It's like the Hellraiser movies for the last 3 or 4. I get that they need to make a movie by X point in order to be able to retain the rights... but if all they're going to do is a sh**ty movie nobody likes every 5 years, why even bother?

Saw hellboy the crooked man and honestly it was pretty good. The most glaring issue definitely was the budget, but I think it worked out well considering that the crooked man storyline is a much more simpler story and isn’t some grand adventure so it didn’t really call for a big budget.

Also probably at this point the most comic accurate hellboy movie with the only difference being the movie original brpd agent and the third act. But the first two acts are pretty much lifted straight from the comics
