great thanks

A new film for the comic book character Hellboy. Previously played in two movies last decade by Ron Perlman. But this is a reboot for the character on the big screen, so forget all that came before because it doesn't tie into them whatsoever.It draws on some of his comic book appearances for elements of the story here. But that's about as far as it goes adaptation wise.For the uninitiated, Hellboy is a demon pulled out of hell by an occult ritual during world war two, and who has been raised as human since. He works for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, an organisation that protects the world against such threats. As does Professor Bruttenholm [Ian McShane] who raised him.Hellboy is a tough talking hard fighting individual who can hold his beer and stand up for himself against anyone. But he's always struggled with his demon nature. When a series of events show that someone is trying to resurrect an ancient evil, will he cross to the dark side? Or will he save the light?This promises a different tone to the more fantastical take of the original movies, and it does that with an opening narration that grabs your attention by getting adult. Plus full on gory horror with it.But it doesn't manage to follow up from that adequately.David Harbour - Hopper in the show Stranger Things - is brilliant as Hellboy. It might have seemed that nobody could play the part other than Ron Perlman. But he gets things spot on and really makes the character his own.Milla Jovovich is pretty good as villainess the Blood Queen. Getting the right amount of otherworldliness into the character, and making her downright scary with it.But Ian McShane as the professor just plays himself. Brilliantly, but it's just not a take on the character that clicks. And the narrative is far too episodic, taking Hellboy all over the place for a collection of set pieces.One key scene falls down as it really needs to be done outdoors to get the atmosphere right. But it's obviously studio bound. And the rest of the cast are rather stuck playing one note supporting characters.Added to which, since it starts without much proper introduction to Hellboy, it gets bogged down throwing too much exposition in along the way.It's a coherent edit. it's quite watchable. But it just could be a lot better.It does have an extra scene during the middle of the end credits, and then another right at the end, both there to set up a sequel. Which probably won't happen now as this did not do great box office. A shame. Because the character of Hellboy, and David Harbour as an actor do deserve better.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English. English audio description.Subtitles; English.The dvd begins with several trailers, but these can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote.Extras:Three deleted scenes. Which can be watched individually or in a row. If the former, they take seven min in totals. One is an extended version of the opening, which makes it better. The other two are ok.Pre-visualisation: three scenes from the film, with the cgi fight scenes shown as rudimentary computer animation instead. Also watchable on their own or in a row, and the former takes six min. As a look at how it's all done, this is worth one watch.

OK so I am 100% biased as I don't think Mr Mignola can do wrong frankly so bare that in mind.It isn't a great movie, though certainly not as bad as critics suggested, but it is a great movie.You know?Five stars.

Having been a big fan of the first two Hellboy movies I was really looking forward to seeing this new take on the character.The earlier films were exciting, humorous and nicely paced. This turkey is humourless, tedious and very (very) choppy.There is no real plot to speak of. Characters appear, interact with HB and we are largely left to our own devices to work out who they are and what their purpose is. This would be forgivable if it applied to only minor characters but regrettably most of the major characters were equally unknowable.The earlier movies had a progression, both in terms of story-line and character development. This just had a lot of shouting and confusing actions sequences, none of which seemed to move the plot forward much.Drama minus character is a melodrama. This film doesn't even rise to that level as none of the events have any real dramatic purpose. The whole mess just limps along from scene to scene, with good guys we don't know fighting bad guys we don't know to serve a purpose which hasn't really been explained.Another problem is the poor quality of the action sequences. The whole point of CGI is that it doesn't look like CGI. When what you are looking at has the appearance of computer-facilitated animation there is no real suspension of disbelief. It is difficult to feel emotionally connected when nothing seems real and there are no people whom you can attach to.I think it likely that the budget was a bit tight. Some of the scenes looked downright cheap. The re-imagining of the scene where Hellboy enters our world looks positively bargain basement compared to Del Toro's excellent and exciting scene.Finally, there are the actors. Ian McShane looks like a gypsy violinist and seems to mutter almost all of his lines. Hellboy looks like a big red moody teenager. Ron Perlman should have been offered this role again as he is perfect for the part, as evidenced by his two outings as HB. He managed to show the vulnerability and frailty of the character as a counterpoint to his strength and supernatural power. There's none of that here. In this movie Hellboy is not explained to the viewer or properly introduced to him.Really disappointing. Save yourself a few quid and watch the Del Toro movies.

Top Film, top Preis. TOP Lieferzeit.Alles Roger 😄

MOVIE WAS NOT NEARLY, NOT BY AN ASTRONOMICAL MILE, NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE HELLBOY MOVIES THAT WENT BEFORE IT. LIKE I SAID, I STILL ENJOYED WATCHING IT, BUT WHY ON EARTH DID THEY EVER THINK A NON RON PERLMAN HELLBOY WOULD ATTRACT AUDIENCES?? I WILL NEVER KNOW!!
