I like what they're doing - the previous films went big with sprawling high stakes adventures, whereas this gets back to the feel of a lot of the comics where Hellboy rocks up somewhere to combat some evil menace. If this approach works (smaller budget quicker turnaround - shooting started in March 2023) they could make a more sustainable franchise building up to something big. The team also looks solid - the director of Crank with Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden co-writing. So I feel pretty optimistic.

Definitely looks cheaper than previous hellboys. But that's not a bad thing it may be decent. And Hellboy looks better than Harbours version.
I like it! It seems to have the dialog tone pretty damn close to the comics (not surprising considering who wrote this), and the "low stakes" vibe is something that's woefully absent in most comic movies. Plus it's a period piece. I'm down.
Mixed feelings tbh. I like the smaller scope and eldritchness, but I honestly kinda loved the campness of del Toro and Perlman's contributions.
I'm happy to see a positive response here, makes a change from those who like to write off a film based on two minutes of footage.
One article claims this looks like it will go straight to streaming!
I'll be really surprised and disappointed if it doesn't get a cinema release.
I think I'm a little hyped tbh. Not a lot, I don't really get hyped for movies often, nor to a high degree unless it's something that's a real passion. But this is based on my favorite Hellboy story, so I'm a little hyped lol
However, I hope they don't cheese the accents. Holy hell, nobody ever does Appalachian accents right
Eh. Pass. I don't care for creepy horror without something else. I liked horror comedy, campy earlier versions.
