An average movie

Since this movie had been a critical and commercial flop, I wasn’t expecting much but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, this movie will probably be remembered as the most misguided movie released in 2019. Indeed, ever since ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’ had been released, the fans had been demanding to get a third instalment directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Ron Perlman but, instead of finally granting their wish, for some reasons, they decided after all to reboot the damned thing which remains such a bewildering decision. To be honest, I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of the previous instalments directed by del Toro but, eventually, a Hellboy flick without del Toro turned to be so much worse than I expected. Seriously, not only the story was often ridiculous (Hellboy turned out to be a descendant of King Arthur which was just pathetic…) but, above all, it was just so damned boring. Basically, it was so bad that during the second half, I almost fell asleep.  At least, David Harbour looked pretty badass and I think he was a decent replacement for Ron Perlman but, to be honest, it was probably the only thing that did work in this movie. Anyway, to conclude, the damned thing turned out to be another useless reboot and I don’t think it is worth a look.
