They'll be hard-pressed to top the casting of Ron Perlman as Hellboy. He perfectly embodied the role, I thought.

If Del Toro and Ron Perlman are not attached I don't think I will be interested... As much as I like Neil Marshall...

I'm not sure yet if this would work.

HELLBOY 2004 8/10 HELLBOY PART II: THE GOLDEN ARMY 6/10 While HELLBOY 2004 and HELLBOY PART II: THE GOLDEN ARMY featured great practical effects, there was 1 flaw: The title character's torso looked like a suit with 2 big flat rocks. In HELLBOY 2019, Joel Harlow and his make-up team do a better job in this regard. If only director Neil Marshall had been given them the chance to do more work, rather than relying on unconvincing CGI. And if only he knew how to pace a movie better. This reboot opens with a prologue where so many things happen that it could've easily lasted 5-10 minutes, but it lasts 2 minutes. In fact, the 2nd scene shows a tragic moment that didn't make me feel anything because I hadn't gotten to know the characters yet. I was dreading watching this after finding out it would be based on the comic books DARKNESS CALLS, THE WILD HUNT and THE STORM AND THE FURY. They were boring and overly complicated. They also downplayed HELLBOY's personality. A lot of his dialogue consisted on A) giving generic answers to what other characters were saying, and B) saying "Son of a bitch" or "Son of a--" (with an interrumption) so many times it could've been a drinking game. The character could've had another name and it wouldn't have made a difference. This adaptation can't help but to feel dull and convoluted too, but it's a more tolerable experience thanks to the attempts at humour (even if they're mostly failed). That includes HELLBOY cracking jokes, which feels closer to the character I'm used to... but it's still not enough. He constantly displays what he's feeling. Isn't he supposed to be a tough guy who hide his emotions, either with humor or through a fake indifference? What a shame, because David Harbour's performance is as good as Ron Perlman's. 3/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |
