Critics Consensus

Bereft of the imaginative flair that made earlier Hellboys so enjoyable, this soulless reboot suggests Dante may have left a tenth circle out of his Inferno.

It ends up simply being a franchise reboot damned to be restaged as its own bloody hell. Some things are better left dead.

Rated: 2/5

The anticipated reboot of the cult comic book character is, well, intense. And not in a good way, unless you really love your movies to be disjointed, tonally confused and really, really gory.

Rated: 2/5

Sadistic, disgusting, rambunctiously obnoxious, and displays completely shambolic filmmaking at its worst.

Hellboy is a huge misstep in Neil Marshall‘s filmmaking career.

Ready Steady Cut

The needless reboot of Hellboy sheds light on a union between director Neil Marshall and Lionsgate that practically screamed perfect match, but is in need of an annulment.

As a long-time fan of Del Toro's Hellboy series, I had some hope that this remake was going to be good. That hope was dashed the second I heard the needlessly snarky introductory narration, and it only got worse throughout the entirety of this gory, rushed, exposition-dumping mess of a film. This movie is to Hellboy as Morbius is to Marvel Studios: Lazy. If there is one good thing I can say, it is that David Harbor did a good job with what he was given. His take on Hellboy was different, and I think in a vaccum (and a better script) it would be good.

This iteration of Hellboy attempts to present too much at once and at a blistering pace, one that cheapens many of the mythological references and supporting characters. For the uninitiated, this information overload can lead to disbelief and frustration, since the tempo is overreaching; overplaying its hand. The result is an audience who can’t connect to what is being presented; unable to appreciate the story being told (which, in this case, is Hellboy canon direct from the original comic book). If you can overlook the very common film industry mistakes that completely derail this film (Milla Jovovich’s horrible performance notwithstanding), you’ll see a charming and well performed protagonist, with his legendary wit and antics, surrounded by his supporting characters, having to face his fate. Pretty Metal.
