I loved the first two live-action Hellboy movies and I even enjoyed the two animated movie and on the other hand, I absolutely couldn't stand the 2019 movie and I'm glad that it failed because that wasn' ;t my Hellboy. Now, I've just finished watching Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024) and I'm surprised by how decent this movie is especially since I wasn't excited for this movie.Positives for Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024):
First off, I appreciated that this movie decided to go the fantasy-horror route only especially since one of my main criticisms of the 2019 movie was that it couldn't decide which genre it wanted to be in. I like that the filmmakers kept the look of Hellboy practical with no CGI. I also appreciated that this wasn't just another generic superhero movie that have been coming out nowadays. I also loved that the movie is more small scale with its approach to the story. And finally, Jack Kesy is as good as the version of Hellboy and he's able to stand on his own without having me comparing him to Ron Perlman.Negatives for Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024):
The movie is very low-budget and it clearly shows in the final product. There is also some wacky CGI that is bad, but not horrible. And finally, I don't know if this movie will start a new franchise due to the limitations and that would suck because there's a lot that can work and be improved on in sequels.Overall, Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024) is a solid enough superhero horror movie that breathes some fresh air into the superhero genre.. The final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our October calendar for more!
