Critics Consensus

Bereft of the imaginative flair that made earlier Hellboys so enjoyable, this soulless reboot suggests Dante may have left a tenth circle out of his Inferno.

It ends up simply being a franchise reboot damned to be restaged as its own bloody hell. Some things are better left dead.

2/5

The anticipated reboot of the cult comic book character is, well, intense. And not in a good way, unless you really love your movies to be disjointed, tonally confused and really, really gory.

Sadistic, disgusting, rambunctiously obnoxious, and displays completely shambolic filmmaking at its worst.

Hellboy is a huge misstep in Neil Marshall‘s filmmaking career.

2/5

The needless reboot of Hellboy sheds light on a union between director Neil Marshall and Lionsgate that practically screamed perfect match, but is in need of an annulment.

First of all, David Harbour was PHENOMENAL at playing Hellboy like he captured his main aspects almost perfectly similar to the comics, his deep rooted emotions, cockiness, how flashy he is and his way of feeling and acting which is great. BUT the movie lacks a main focus, the main storyline feels slightly rushed with more going on throughout the movie than it should, they could have chopped down on the amount of side story's and focused on one main one. Overall a solid movie which gets WAY too much hate just because it doesn't live up to the standards of the public or diehard nostalgia chasers who enjoyed the older movies and complain its not as good as the old movies or it wasn't as "comic accurate" which if you read the comics, then you would know that this movies portrayal is arguably BETTER!!! Also the unkept, rugged run down look is so so much better, especially when its David Harbour wearing it. People need to get a grip.
