I enjoyed Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy: The Golden Army (2008) with Ron Perlman. “The series details the adventures of Hellboy, a Cambion (or half-Demon) B.P.R.D. agent whose true name is Anung Un Rama. The franchise has grossed a total of $325.2 million, on a combined budget of $212.5–$221 million.” (Wikipedia)
The reviews of Hellboy (2019) were so bad, I didn’t see it. David Harbour starred. The movie cost $50 million to make and its Box Office was $55.1 million.
Like a fool, I decided to watch Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024) when it showed up on HULU. Terrible! Jack Kesy played Hellboy fighting a toxic spider and enduring some clumsy CGI. Don’t waste your time like I did… GRADE: D (for dreadful)
I have very low tastes. I like Hellboy. I even liked David Harbour’s Hellboy. I’m heading over to Hulu right now.
Jerry, I’ll be interested in your review of HELLBOY: THE CROOKED MAN.
I thought “Hellboy” was cute but the second one burned everything to the ground that I liked about the first one so thoroughly it permanently soured me on del Toro. I’ve had no interest in the anything Hellboy since and have heard this one was YouTube fan movie awful. Somehow I don’t think its failure will prevent any further movies as we are at the zombie IP era of deadend culture. My condolences on having sat through this.
Byron, hope springs eternal so I had a faint feeling that maybe this new HELLBOY: THE CROOKED MAN might get the HELLBOY franchise back on track. Wrong!
You and Jackie are on the same page. She loved the Ron Perlman Hellboy movies and we skipped the Harbour one.
Now that we have Hulu and Disney for four months, I’m going to watch The Mandalorian.
Jeff, THE MANDALORIAN is infinitely better than HELLBOY: THE CROOKED MAN.
