Sadistic, disgusting, rambunctiously obnoxious, and displays completely shambolic filmmaking at its worst.

| Jul 14, 2024

Hellboy is a huge misstep in Neil Marshall‘s filmmaking career.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 24, 2023

The needless reboot of Hellboy sheds light on a union between director Neil Marshall and Lionsgate that practically screamed perfect match, but is in need of an annulment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 18, 2022

It's not merely that del Toro made two visually inspired, technically rich, and surprisingly touching superhero movies, it's that Marshall has made an aggravatingly terrible version of the same material.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 3, 2022

Hellboy reminds us just how mediocre a comic book movie can be.

| Jul 13, 2021

Hellboy is a poor adaptation, but most importantly it is a poor use of all the talents involved.

| Original Score: 4 | Jun 24, 2021

This hellfire has already been extinguished.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 29, 2021

The film's treatment of race could be seen as a minor bright spot.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 13, 2021

For every amusing grotesquerie, a computer animated sequence threatens to destroy the momentum - especially those that involve human faces badly layered onto CG bodies.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 7, 2020

If you are not a fan of the character, stay away. You'll just be dazed and confused.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Nov 20, 2020

There's a lot of false detours.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

Should-a stayed in hell.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 28, 2020

It swears like it's just learned the words and splatters gore everywhere as if it discovered the only crayons left in the box were differing shades of crimson.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2020

As a monster movie, the film is fantastic; as a comedy, it's hit and miss; and as an action experience, I thought it worked, as long as you don't mind getting a little blood on your shoes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 21, 2020

What is this movie supposed to be about? That's not a rhetorical question - I'm actually asking, since Hellboy makes no sense whatsoever.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 2, 2020

How does this incarnation of Hellboy stack up to its predecessors? The short answer: They're completely separate beasts.

| Jun 28, 2020

Comparison's to del Toro's vividly imagined and gorgeously crafted films only highlights the sloppy editing, puzzling needle drops and thread bare CGI of this reboot. The fans deserved better.

| May 29, 2020

Neil Marshall's reboot sure isn't the character's best movie to date, but it's undeniably the most proudly insane adaptation of Mike Mignola's work that we've ever seen.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 26, 2020

The one thing Hellboy has going for it, is that it's never boring. Trainwrecks tend to hold your attention that way.

| Original Score: Read A Book | Jan 10, 2020

[T]he whole piece is like its eponymous character - chaotic, senseless and without direction.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 7, 2019
