only a handful of reviews in but they're eviscerating it
>Ironically enough, the romantic Hellboy and the Hellboy with the monster dicks in it are two completely different movies. In typical fairy-tale fashion, Guillermo del Toro’s 2004 film version of Mike Mignola’s comics series framed the demon-turned-demon hunter through the lens of a lovesick teenager. The new reboot of the franchise also approaches Hellboy from an adolescent point of view, but with a distinct variation on the concept: This is the sneering form of the word frequently lobbed at Transformers movies, the kind that prioritizes guitar riffs, sarcastic one-liners, and blustering tumbleweeds of CGI creatures wrestling each other.
>Harbour, so endearing as Sheriff Hopper on Stranger Things, has none of the agreeable humor Ron Perlman brought to the character; as a result, his many quips go over like a fart in an elevator. The makeup is wearing him, to the extent that it takes a while to get used to his voice coming out of Hellboy’s body. Sasha Lane and Daniel Dae Kim’s supporting roles are similarly disjointed; both are fine characters with comic-book origins, but they’re shoehorned in so awkwardly that they feel superfluous. McShane glides by on how much everyone loves it when he says the word “fuck,” leaving Jovovich to give the most committed, and therefore the best, performance in the film.
Time to break out the official Hellboy whiskey and official Hellboy beer.
What did Hellboy fans do to deserve this and The Devil You Know?

Christopher Brooks
Fuck this movie and fuck Mike Mignola
Jason Brooks
Man I was really hoping that between the new movie, HB's appearance in InJustice 2, and Hellboy in Hell ending recently, the character would see some resurgence in popularity.

I shall screencap this to laugh at you at a later date.
