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.

Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) Yeah, this is terrible. Sep 27, 2019 Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone 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 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 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 Apr 21, 2019 Full Review Surya Komal 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 Jun 21, 2025 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Sadistic, disgusting, rambunctiously obnoxious, and displays completely shambolic filmmaking at its worst. Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Hellboy is a huge misstep in Neil Marshall‘s filmmaking career. Rated: C- Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Blu B Really Bad. The dialouge is just jokes, puns, and the other half is plot expose dumps constantly every five minutes. The villian is really bad and belongs in a bad Harry Potter or Dracula Movie. Not a comic book movie taking place in the real world. Hellboy is alright at best and annoying at worst. The makeup isn't as well done as Pearlman's and he comes off sometimes as a whiny moody emo teen. God Lizz and Abe are sooo missed from the GDT ones. The new ones are so generic and forgettable. The cinematoography is so dark half the time you can barely see it, terrible CGI that's somehow even worse than the 2004 one at its worst, uninspired direction, and half the time it doens't even look like it belongs to the same movie. This looks like half the time it was asetically ripped out of Van Helsing or Sleepy Hollow. It doesn't match at all and than it's filled with dumb scenes as well and boring ones. The music is a mix of generic cinematic stuff and rock/metal that doesn't work together at all and clashes with the dark fantasy asetics. The editing isn't good and pacing is terrible. The major strikes on top of this is the terible special effects especially the CGI and just a stupid dumb plot that walks a fine line between almost being incoherent in the second half. It's so stupid. Again it feels like and looks like two seperate movies. A comic book action flick and a dark midevil fantasy which never works at all. It's truly amazing how everything and I mean EVERYTHING here is a step down. Even the humor which got a chuckle maybe twice lacks any charm. And the makeup is a big step down. Skip This and stick with the 00's duology. God this was horrible and really shows how much of an accomplishment the 00's ones were even though they had some flaws. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Ottawa R Meg meh meh meh meh meh Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review tyler s Funny action packed gore fest. What's not to like? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Roger R Oh my god what was this tripe, the story was over complicated and just didnt work, i battled though to the end but oh my bring back Ron and a decent story Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Dylan S When it's just Ian McShane and David Harbour its perfectly figured ne, vut thats like fove percent of the movie. Everything else is hot garbage Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
