He does. When I met him at an expo he rolled his eyes at the mention of the movies. Not sure what he takes issue with.

I think I remember someone saying primarily the romance between Hellboy and old girl (as in there shouldn't be any). But I know there's other stuff. Probably it mostly comes down to no one on the Del Toro films really involving him at all, creatively, whereas this one he's very hands-on.

the second at least has some really great choreographed fight scenes.

This movie is banana's

I'm in.

I desperately wanted Hellboy 3 but this looks extremely interesting. Mignola says they nailed it, so that's worth a peek from me.

I'll have to work hard to get my buddy to go see it with us. Huge Del Toro fan, takes the reboot as a personal betrayal. But maybe this will get him excited.

Hellboy is a thin, clumsy, and charmless attempt at rebooting a beloved franchise: http://www.ign.com/articles/2019/04/...-reboot-review … by @rustypolished via @IGN

The Wrap enjoyed it

Well if the critics hate it, it's probably pretty good.

Mignola says it's great, and his word counts with me. He created the dam thing. Hopefully this weekend.

*Andrew NDB* · 04-10-2019, 09:17 PM

Yeah, getting "scathing reviews."

Most critics shouldn't be in the business of reviewing comic book films anyway, since they immediately crap on anything that isn't crammed full of "jokes" or watered down for children. Only ONE specific kind of CBM ever gets a good review, which says a lot all by itself.

It's probably not a masterpiece - the CGI definitely looks iffy - but it's probably Just Fine. I loved Del Toro's films but since this is more based on the comics I'm not interested in comparing them, as they try to do entirely different things with the material.

I feel like the lingering resentment over not getting Hellboy 3 instead is skewing a lot of people's opinions on the reboot even existing. To them I'd say, "You should have actually paid to see Hellboy 2 and then you might have gotten the movie you wanted."

I predict after this under-performs, the studio will wait 5 years and finally pay Del Toro whatever he wants to finally do his Part 3, and they'll all just act like this one never happened. It is what it is.

Still looking forward to it, but it's pretty obvious that word of mouth and too much competition is going to kill this one on the launchpad. Shame.

Shesus... read this, though. Sounds like a hell of a time on set:

I was really looking forward to this film. Bummed to see this. I'll still check it out when it releases digitally.

*Autbot_Benz* · 04-11-2019, 12:19 PM

I am going next Tuesday. Still excited to see it

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 04-11-2019, 12:42 PM

I'm still interested in seeing it. Just gotta see if my movie buddy is backing out over the reviews...

The plan is currently next Wednesday, I think. And as someone who thought the Del Toro movies were only "a'ight", I'm hoping to be impressed by this.

The same. Though I didn't even like the first one enough to see the second one. It was definitely an example, though, of a movie I thought to myself that would benefit from an R-rating given what they were going for... so maybe the new one is better.

CinemaSins just did their video for Hellboy II. That's the closest I've come to watching it, too.

*snake* · 04-11-2019, 03:21 PM

11% on RT probably means I’m going to enjoy it. That’s the mindset I operate on now.

*Andrew NDB* · 04-11-2019, 03:24 PM

To be fair, a lot of those critics are probably going to be people who really loved the Del Toro movies and are mad we got this instead of Hellboy 3.
