Pros
Cons
If you just want a Hellboy movie it delivers on that, there's action, there's jokes, it's not a bad film but if you're a Hellboy fan maybe give this one a miss because its a noticeable drop in quality from the previous ones and if you go into the cinema with high expectations you're going to be let down.
- It's Hellboy
- The gross bits are really gross (it's fun to be in a theatre full of people reacting to that)
Cons
- It's an unnecessary reboot
- The script is a bit meh
- This Hellboy isn't as hunky (but still charming in his own basement dwelling metallic t-shirt wearing way)
- Some scenes come off as a bit cheap due to special effects failures
- The plot meanders a bit
