Hellboy (2019 film)

The cult classic action horror film about a superhero from hell has been reborn for this year as the 2019 remake of Hellboy surely wants to raise some hell in the Spring movie season and with that, there's something about what makes the 2019 Hellboy film different than the original Hellboy movie you saw over a decade ago.

Hellboy (2019 film)

Of course being a remake, the cast of the film needs to be all-new and with that, the reborn Hellboy movie stars David Harbour as Hellboy alongside Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Thomas Haden Church, among many others. It's directed by Neil Marshall and it's based on the cult classic graphic novel by Mike Mignola. This film sees the hero from Hell teaming up with some unlikely allies to battle against a powerful sorceress bent on taking over the world.

Although this film promises to stir some action thriller moments just like the original, this film is much more of a horror movie rather than a superhero movie because of the gory battle sequences where we get to see Hellboy spilling blood on his enemies one after another, giving it a much maligned reason why it was considered to be downright scary to watch but despite being scary, this new Hellboy movie is worthy to get the viewers' eyes glued from start to finish and when things get mad, this film truly shows its maddest self, making this one of the maddest films to watch in the Spring season.

My rating: 2.9 out of 5
