Hellboy - 地獄怪客:血后的崛起
Hellboy (地獄怪客:血后的崛起) is an 2019 film. The movie stars David Harbour as Hellboy. The supporting cast include Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Thomas Haden Church. The movie is a reboot and is not a sequel to the previous Hellboy movie series. The character is based on the comic version.
Hellboy is part of a US government squad that fights paranormals. When lent out to the UK, he's framed and nearly killed. Now, he must stop a King Arthur era witch from reforming. Along the way, a medium and werewolf help him out. Will Hellboy be tempted to birthright calms or grander or will his human father have succeeded.?
Not sure what to say about this movie. Just trying to write a summary for it was hard. The movie was going for an Hellboy origin story that does a poor job or making us care for him. In the end, all the fighting was a bit meaningless.
Stylistically, this movie didn't have the same feel as the previous film series. But went more gore style and it was a little bit off. I can't really recommend this movie.
