Magic D Our introduction to Hellboy and possibly most of the general public was the 2004 movie directed by Guillermo Del Toro, which offered the comic book franchise it's push to mainstream. Hellboy felt at home in the hands of Del Toro who went on to spawn a second film 'The Golden Army' in 2008. While both being generally well received and are modest box office successes, a third Hellboy film with both Ron Pearlman (as Hellboy) and Del Toro never came into fruition - instead rebooting in 2019 starring David Harbour as the titular half-demon hero. To be fair, despite a good performance by Harbour, we were no fans of the action packed and gratuitously violent reboot, https://vid.magichd.ink - mostly due to the comparative superiority of the first two Del Toro versions that also beautifully handled Hellboy and his peers' themes of othering and self-acceptance, which proved more appealing than doubling the action and blood. The reboot eventually bombed in the box office and was met with generally negative reviews leaving the franchise dormant. Now 5 years later, on its fourth live action iteration, this Hellboy movie is firstly, the only one with Mike Mignola, the creator himself, with direct writing credits for the screenplay. It is also the most faithful adaptation of it's chosen source material 'The Crooked Man'. It also has the lowest budget out of all the live action films and the shortest run-time clocking at 1 hour and 36 minutes only.

Not all mediums meet well at their fringes and this hodge podge of hocus pocus manages it less competently than most.

Much better than 2019 Hellboy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Cristian s Diferente al resto de las películas de Hellboy, intenta tener un tono mas serio y oscuro pero lamentablemente el resultado es muy barato (y no hablo solo del presupuesto). Historia interesante pero a la vez muy lenta, se nota que la hora y media de metraje se le hace muy larga. Tiene algún que otro buen momento de susto pero no son tantos ni tan eficientes como para hacer que valga la pena. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Donn B I grew up with tales from the crypt and tales from the darkside, I even remember kolcheck the nightstalker and the night gallery. If you are a downer on this you are missing some good storytelling and you need to lighten up and enjoy the ride. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
