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 John Serba Decider Nothing in The Crooked Man compels us to feel invested in this story, which lacks suspense, dramatic momentum and a sense of pacing. May 8, 2025 Full Review Grant Hermanns Screen Rant Brian Taylor's Hellboy: The Crooked Man certainly strives to feel different from the previous movies, but comes with the cost of also feeling dry. Rated: 4/10 Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Adrian Ruiz But Why Tho? A Geek Community Hellboy: The Crooked Man makes a valiant effort to adapt Mike Mignola’s 2008 comic, but ultimately, it falters under the weight of its changes.

Zach L. So the quality in terms of any kind of grand looking special effects is null in this movie, mostly practical effects But WOW! THIS WAS THE BEST HELLBOY SINCE 2004 It almost felt like one of those 2 cartoon movies we got after it, only live action this time Cool thing is that the original creator of the comic series was the one who made the story for this one. I never would’ve thought the ghost of an evil rich Confederate rancher could be such an interesting villian to have Hellboy encounter. The story and its characters were done very well, Hollywood could learn a thing from this film, it doesn’t always have to be rushed money grabbers. Done with time and care it becomes a greatly constructed narrative to entertain any audience. There was one bit that felt straight out of the horror film night of the living dead that was very creepy watching. I probably looked over my shoulder while watching it 6 times. And the Actor who played Hellboy was a whole lot better than David harbor in 2019. He did the character justice, he truly felt like the Hellboy we read in the comics. I hope we get to see him again later on❤. He deserves to play the character If interested in checking him out, here’s a playlist: Hellboy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Starla R Hollywood studios have lost their damn minds! Why do they think getting rid of amazing actors like Ron Perlman and great directors like Del Toro, and barely allowing any budget, will get them anything in return?! Lol It's so hilarious and ironic that they got rid of those 2, well Del Toro, which caused Ron to back out, because they weren't happy with $200 million that Golden Army brought in, so they did a reboot with a much smaller budget and get only $44 million lol Then they do it again, with Crooked man, and only get $2 million lol Good! They deserve it, for ruining what could of been an amazing franchise because of greed lol Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Sarah L The story is there but nothing else is and I got bored of the lack of action from hellboy himself. I felt like I wasted part of my life watching this 😂 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Khaliel P This is the second time someone’s tried to adapt Hellboy after Del Toro — and the second time the franchise completely crashes and burns. Just give it back to Del Toro and let him finish his trilogy already! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Zakiyyah A This movie was hot garbage. After the first couple of minutes with the spider and train it was just dead! Witches...boring witches that need to see a chiropractor and an old man who should do the same. Hellboy was basically af not the strong jawlined, larger than life, cigar smoking guy I'm used to. Just finished the 2019 film then watched this travesty. I went to review the ratings halfway through because I was sooo bored! I can usually deal with a slow burn if the storyline is intriguing. It was supposed to be a horror film then why was I bleary eyed and yawning the whole time. Your life and time are worth so much more than this boring movie. Save yourself Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Nathan W A lot of people are stuck on the old Hellboy franchise. This isn't that, it's more in pace of how the comics were. Not a bad watch at all. Just not the type of film Hellboy movie fans are looking for. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
