Hellboy
0/10
Full
of spoilers! I did it. I said I was not gonna see this (read this
where I explain why) but I heard about how bad this was and based on
that had to. Hey. Movies are cheap on Tuesdays. So I headed out to
see Hellboy and holy shit it was not good. I wasn't even so bad that
it was good. This movie was straight up shit. I can not think of a
single thing I enjoyed about this. Bad story, directing, editing (my
god, the editing), the CGI, accents, the characters. It was from top
to bottom bad. I almost recorded an audio version of this because I
have so much shit I wanna rant about.
I knew I was in trouble as soon
as this movie started. Like, as soon as it started I was concerned. I
am not one of those people that watch a movie or tell other people to
“turn off” to watch a movie. This was utter bullshit that you
should attempt to avoid. King Arthur (no more movies featuring this
character please!) and Merlin attack a Blood Witch after she is
betrayed by some other witches. They cut her ass up and lock the
different pieces in boxes, bless them, and ride off. Meanwhile in
Mexico...
Hellboy
is looking for a BPRD agent. He finds him wrestling in Mexico and
ends up fighting him. Turns out he is now a vampire bat monster. It
looks bad. Okay. I will try not to stop and complain about the CGI in
this. I'll try. He ends up killing the guy and taken back to the
headquarters because other shit is happening. There is also this
giant hog creature that is told by Baba Yaga how to bring back the
Blood Witch and get more powerful. It is surprisingly easy! He is
just gathering her parts left and right without a team or anything.
And he isn't particularly smart or anything. He is a giant warthog.
Hellboy is told to head to England and help this team kill three
giants. They end up turning on him but they are then killed by the
three giants who Hellboy takes down and kills. He could not kill a
few humans with cattle prods but laughingly defeats giants. Okay.
This
girl named Alice finds Hellboy and brings him back to her place. He
had helped her when she was a baby. She talks to spirits and they
talk through her in the form of the level of CGI I have not seen
since the mid-90's. As Mark from TV Movie Night said “It answers
the question, what if somebody made a Hellboy movie in 1995 and it
sucked?” This was Mortal Kombat: Annihilation bad CGI. Suddenly a
goddamn SWAT team crash into her place. It is Hellboy's dad. Why did
they invade with a SWAT team? Because they need to introduce anew
character. This guy named Daimio hates monsters. He is obviously
gonna turn into something based on his scars but ignore that. He
hates monsters and has a bullet just for Hellboy to kill him.
Everyone keeps saying that Hellboy is gonna bring about the end of
the world. The girl Alice comes along because diversity.
The
rest of that group that attacked Hellboy are dead so Alice brings
back the ghost of this spooky ass lady so we get to see some terrible
CGI. Hellboy tells Alice about the pig man and how when she was a
baby she was stolen and replaced by him and he got her back for her
family. The pig man is pissed about it which is why he wants this
Blood Witch brought back so he can get revenge against Hellboy. The
fuck outta here! “He burned me with iron and made me feel bad!”
By the way, Hellboy learns about his origins and it is super lame.
Nazis wanted him to bring about destruction and Hellboy's dad did not
kill him. Why didn't he ever tell him about his past? Especially
considering how shitty this Hellboy is. I can't even quite tell you
what his personality was. He didn't seem to really give a fuck about
anything except not proven the world right.
Hellboy
gets teleported to Baba Yaga's chicken legged walking house and kisses
her and promises to give her one of his eyes. It was an excuse to
have a gross kiss scene. The theater went mild. The rest of the movie
is more uninteresting shit. The queen doesn't win. Hellboy's father
dies and we are treated to a VERY long bad CGI scene that is not
touching at all. Find out that Hellboy is not only half human but
also descended from King Arthur. The guy that hates Hellboy turns
into a tiger but not just any tiger. One of the worst CGI tigers I
have ever seen committed to anything that cost more than fifty
dollars. Oh, and the girl can suddenly punch ghosts out of people.
Oh, I forgot. The pig man turned huge and was gonna kill Hellboy but
the Blood Witch needed him so she turned the pig man little and burst
him. When this movie ended I dove out of my seat. Fuck any extra
scenes during the credits. Don't you dare threaten me with a sequel
to this bullshit. And in case you thought I was lying about the chicken house...
I do
not rate movies a 0 often. I will give a movie a 1 if I laughed once,
thought music was cool, or if I could not keep my eyes off a
particular lady. There was absolutely nothing admirable about this
movie besides the fact that it was filmed and finished. I know I kept
mentioning the bad CGI but it has to be mentioned how terrible it
was. The story felt like someone wrote three different stories and
shuffled them all together. As for Hellboy I never got a sense of who
he was or what made him interesting or even cool. He had no friends
except when he said someone was a friend. It made no sense.
His relationship with his father felt forced as fuck. Another
thing I wanna mentioned is when the monsters start attacking from
Hell. I do not give a fuck how up your ass you are in life. If there
is a plague spreading and monsters loose you will know. Except in
this movie. There are monsters the size of buildings eating people,
throwing them, and one even wears a few on its feet. In one scene
this guy is walking down the street with his briefcase not knowing
that a block away literal hell has broken loose. This movie was an
embarrassment.
