Hellboy can now join esteemed company like Spider-Man and Batman in being one of the rare superheroes to headline both a great movie and a truly awful movie. While
Hellboy II: The Golden Army rose to become one of the best superhero features back in 2008, the new 2019
Hellboy movie is rancid trash. It's a stunningly inept exercise that dumbfounds me in how they messed up a can't miss premise like this. A big red guy fighting fantasy monsters should be a can't-miss proposition for making an entertaining motion picture but much like
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or
Batman v. Superman managed to utilize their own previously fun characters for garbage filmmaking,
Hellboy finds so many ways to screw up its own basic premise and squander a top-notch cast in the process.
