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

Just for Movie Freaks

Hellboy (2019) is a maddening two-hour experience. With absolutely zero importance given to building up characters and a decent storyline, this film can be best described as a Chaotic Narrative Disaster.

Rated: 1.5/5

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

The story was convoluted, and the visuals fell flat at times, but I had so much fun watching this movie. There were so many times when I was dying laughing because of how fun it was. Don't watch this movie if you want to see a good movie, watch it just to have fun. I definitely recommend it for superhero and horror fans.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Just not a good film. None of the humor or one-liners land, the sound design is awful, and there's some really poor CGI in the back half that just really pulls you out of it. Mostly it is just tedious and boring. You couldn't pay me to see it again.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
