Hellboy
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
This third Hellboy film is not a sequel but remake sans Ron Perlman & Guillermo del Toro. David Harbour & Neil Marshall are their replacements. Hellboy’s origin story is quickly reiterated along with some additional ancestral linage information. The main villain is the Blood Queen, Vivian Nimue (Milla Jovovich), a sorceress vanquished by King Arthur & Merlin but resurrected by a talking pig-like creature that you might expect to find in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. Toss in a vampire & 3 giants in the preliminary warmup bouts for Right Hand of Doom. Ian McShane plays Hellboy’s adoptive father Trevor Bruttenholm. Were-jaguar Ben Daimio (Daniel Dae Kim) & Alice Monaghan (Sasha Lane) are Big Red’s sidekicks. Thomas Hayden Church plays vigilante Lobster Johnson but I️ am not sure why this character was even necessary to be included. This film will bombard you with mind-numbing action sequences and splashes of blood & gore. I️ haven’t read any of the graphic novels nor seen any of the animated films but I loved the first 2 Hellboy films. This one was a disappointment. Still I’m hoping del Toro & Perlman will get a chance to complete their trilogy. Look for a mid credit & an end of credit clip.
Alien gives it 2 “Excalibur” stars out of 4.
