I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie, from all indications, it was supposed to be a mess, but it ended up being a good movie that didn’t have much of a point. With all due respect to David Harbour, this wasn’t a role that anyone expected anyone but Ron Perlman to play. Perlman’s version of Hellboy felt like a much older dude in his movies, whereas Harbours feels like a late teen, it’s difficult to really pin down an age due to the heavy makeup and the fact the character is literally a demon, so does age even apply?
Regardless, it’s a movie no one was asking for, but I’m happy we got.
Hellboy originally appeared on Adam Selvidge’s Website on July 15, 2019.
