Which is a real shame because I love the idea of Hellboy, I loved the first adaptation by del Toro the second one not so much yet they're both better films than this remake. David Harbour is as good as Ron Perlman, I wasn't ready for the role to be recast but honestly they could not have gotten anyone better.

The violence is ramped up to the max, the script is hilariously terrible. Maybe early on the development of this adaptation of Hellboy they realised it was going to be terrible and decided to go full on with everything. ![]() to make sure Nimue isn't pieced back together by a hog like beast and take her revenge.
