This movie was fucking awful. I'm a huge fan of Del Toro's movies and the comics but, yikes, the fuck was wrong with them. Hellboy looks like he had a stroke and just never quite recovered. Harbor's voice just doesn't fit. The story was fine, it's the comics basically, but something was just wrong with it, like the pacing or something fucked it up. And the CGI was shockingly bad. Super disappointing.
Jovovich was good, McShane was good, that's about the only redeeming things I saw in it.
Lemme guess, Hellboy will be a secondary character in his own film. With the film setting up a new generation of characters that are for the modern audience.
Instead of German Nazis summoning him, it will be MAGA Nazis that bring forth the red demon baby.Lemme guess, Hellboy will be a secondary character in his own film. With the film setting up a new generation of characters that are for the modern audience.
flipped through the crooked man, looks like it could be made super cheap. couple cabins, church, some hillbillies and witches.
the story is set in the south in the 50's. sure they will be able to add an extra bunch of racism

with how bad the last one did, sorta surprised anyone would fund another

iirc, del torro wanted $120mil to do hellboy 3 and he tried to get it done for like 8 years. he said something about if pacific rim 2 did well it could get funding, but it didn't. he gave up then it went to another production company.
Problem was the Hellboy movies didn't do great at the box office.Del Torro never getting to do Hellboy 3 is such a travesty. They even did an animated version of the never finished post Hellboy 2 scene where it showed this arctic base full of nazi robots and Rasputin's ghost appearing, which would have been the presumed plot of the next movie.
I loved all of the different creatures. My favorite had to be theHellboy 2 was such a fun movie as well.
You also pretty much double the production budget with marketing. Which is why people were laughing at the Rock when he was spouting how much money Black Adam made.If you look at the example above, Hellboy 2 made 2x it's production budget. Although with Hollywood accounting, I'm sure that was twisted into they made nothing on the film. Either that or they didn't feel Hellboy 3 with a 120m budget would have made back the same ratio.
Hellboy 2 was such a fun movie as well.
