Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It’s all too much. The horrors are piled on in such quantities that any possibility of being scared or even slightly repulsed soon evaporates. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review William Bibbiani TheWrap Taylor envisions a Hellboy where the horror matters more than the humor or poetry or romance or even the good vibes, and he’s made a film that proves his take is valid. Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety It has the look of YouTube fan film — not to mention the excess fidelity. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) Not every superhero adventure has to be a mega-dollar bloat. Here is a B-movie true to the spirit of its source material. Rated: 3/5 Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media But whereas previous Hellboy movie outings have been colorful, boisterous affairs, Hellboy: The Crooked Man never rises above being a dimly lit, bargain-basement offering. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment When committed to the horror component, the film works well enough. Still, the time between “scares,” let alone the minimal amount of action, leaves much to be desired. Rated: 4/10 Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Its a very decent movie for me Only downside is visual effects but that doesnt make it bad Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Mark W I spent $5.99 to rent this movie. Which is exactly $5.98 more than it was worth. It was not scary, it was not funny, it was a complete mess. When the preacher got his eyes picked out by the crows, I began to pray fervently that a crow would pick my own eyes out, so I would not have to finish watching this horrendous, terrible pig-slop of a film. Other than that, I loved it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review fabricio L Um certo potencial TOTALMENTE desperdiçado em um filme ruim, fraco, desinteressante e as vezes sem vida. A ideia de ser focado mais no terror, é sim muito boa. Realmente é bem interessante a ideia, pois combinaria perfeitamente com o que é o personagem.. pena que foi extremamente mal explorado. História inteiramente fraca, desinteressante, com personagens totalmente esquecíveis, e com um péssimo vilão. O filme se perde um pouco sobre o que eles querem mostrar e explorar de seus personagens, até mesmo na personalidade de Hellboy que as vezes parece ser alternada em muitos momentos. A direção feita por Brian Taylor é mais do mesmo, sem muita criatividade (assim como o filme), a fotografia é bem, bem feia. De longe as coisas que mais me agradaram foram: O visual do Hellboy que eu achei muito bom, muito fiel ao original, a atuação de Jack Kesy que manda bem no papel, eu realmente achei esse Hellboy bem legal. Me agradou bem mais do que a versão de 2019. Poderia ser bem mais, um verdadeiro potencial desperdiçado. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Md Monabbar A This movie doesn't have any storyline and the actions are really bad and I mean it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Audience Member For me this movie was down grade from 2019 ... First of all disappointed with the lighting and sound effect i dont know it make the movie should not launch on 2024 ... To dark and sound effect sometimes make u annoying... Second, for the story plot ... I dont know what kind of plot bcs we know hellboy 1 and 2 based on mythologycal things and what so on and on hellboy 2 was the stepping stone for the movie which is they show the main character was the king of hell ... But in this movie i dont know they make him looks like sec character ( like he didn't need on this movie ) and also how can suddenly hellboy used to be horror film? So im sorry i watch the movie im disappointed to this film .... I hope maybe for next movies they improve they plot story Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Richard M I have to disagree with the top critics. This movie was a horror masterpiece and a breath of fresh air for the Hellboy legacy. In my opinion it could easily become a cult classic. It took me back to my teenage years to the first time I'd ever saw Evil Dead. Make no mistake, this was the genius vision behind Hellboy: Crooked Man. Jack Kesy was able to enter this realm of 1959 deep horror and still pay homage to Ron Pearlman's version, although playing a much younger Hellboy. Kesy kept the light-hearted teenage humor of Hellboy intact while doing so. The horror wasn't cheap "jump from your seats" horror. It was stimulating visual horror that true horror fans crave. Things you can only get from movies like the Exorcist or Evil Dead. What some are considering low-budget comes from not understanding the director's vision. The CGI alone proves it wasn't low budget. I think most of these reviews don't stem from true horror fans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
