Review – Hellboy (2019)

I just don’t see why this character needed a reboot. The first Hellboy adaptation wasn’t my favorite movie of all time. It wasn’t even my favorite Guillermo del Toro movie. But it was reasonably entertaining. Ron Perlman in particular seemed born to play the lead. And though there isn’t anything especially wrong with this version, it simply seems unnecessary. It’s the cinematic equivalent of how we keep building new houses even though we already have plenty of great old houses standing vacant. Mildly amusing
