Looks somehow worse than the last reboot. And super low budget

I remember the original author being butthurt about Del Toro films not being comic accurate. Then the projects he's "personally" involved with turn out to be absolute trash.

The last Hellboy movie had Milla Jovovich in it. This one has Adeline Rudolph, from the 2022 Resident Evil TV show. The 2019 movie was a mess, but at least it looked like a professionally made film.

Honestly, all these recent Hellboy projects have "muh source material" on the brain. They are actively worse because they're dicksucking the comics instead of focusing on being good movies.
>>
It's hard i think to tell a singular creature story or whatever this crooked man is when the 1st and 2nd movie established Hellboy as part of a larger "monster hunting" spookhouse type org who dealt with multiple bad guys of this type in each film. Collapsing it back down to just one feels sort of beneath him

>I saved the world from space dragons and an unkillable army!
>Has to fight some random woods monster now

Just kinda feels...weak.

>>200740264
IIRC the creator of Hellboy (the writer for this movie) doesn't really like the Del Toro movies. Like, he doesn't HATE them, but he didn't like del Toro flat out telling him, "This my Hellboy, not your Hellboy," when he told del Toro "hellboy wouldn't do that".

I mean, she is a very solid actress. And I'm sure she'll give 100% because she certainly did in the RE TV show despite her limited screentime. But this movie feels like a weird fan film just looking at it.
>>
The Del Toro movies are fine movies, very generously, but they aren't HB or BPRD. They simply and categorically are not. The reboot is flawed, only negligibly worse than Del Toro's despite how screwed the production was, but actually resembled HB and BPRD and Harbour was great.
Crooked Man looks great, honestly. HB doesn't need a high budget. And anyone who has actually read HB, and BPRD, is looking for different things than you retarded, nutless little cunts.

Most comics are garbage. The the few good capeshit movies, such as both Hellboy films, Tobey Maguire's Spiderman trilogy, Tim Burton's Batman and Nolan's Batman are better than the comics themselves.

I love Mignola but he is getting everything he deserves. Del Toro refused to compromise on Hellboy 3 because he knew he couldn't finish his epic without a large budget. The pain of it is Del Toro won his Oscars and could have leveraged that clout into the Hellboy 3 he dreamed of but it was too late. Mignola stabbed his friend in the back out of greed and pettiness and now the franchise is cursed.

This is accurate. All these years later and Batman movies are still typically based on the same handful of stories. Just take a look at the actual storylines for Infinity Gauntlet/Infinity War. Totally incomprehensible.

Nolan. He popularized it. After Batman Begins, save The Prestige, everything he's done looks as though it's filmed on a void.
>>
The 2019 film was a mess where they hired the guy who did Dog Soldiers and then ignored all his input. He felt the script was bad because it was just a bunch of comic book stuff arranged at random, and he felt that comic book storylines are full of plot holes which aren't an issue in comic book format but they are an issue in a live action movie, and he got ignored. The movie was shit to work on because he saw the problems coming a million miles off and was completely ignored at every turn.

>They are actively worse because they're dicksucking the comics
Their "dicksucking" is just "let's throw random stuff from the comics, mix it in a blend then hope Hellboy fans recognize it!". This is what comic accuracy boils down to in Hollywood's brain: Endless references.

The 2019 is a rushed mishmash of three storylines without any of the build up, mixed with MCU tier humor. It pleased neither fans nor normies.

The director of Hellboy 2019 actively objected to the movie being directly based on comics because he felt it made the film incoherent and disjointed. He was overruled. Practically ever criticism or correction he tried to make was overruled. By the producers, obviously, not by Mignola. It's not fair to blame Mignola for what happened on Hellboy 2019.

It's weird how Milla Jovovich played a witch in the last Hellboy movie, and she's not in the new Hellboy, but she's playing a witch in a completely different movie instead.

Apparently the producers of the 2019 Hellboy movie fired the cinematographer (the director's pet cinematographer) as a way of flexing on the director to remind him he wasn't in charge, and would frequently interrupt the director while he was instructing the actors to tell them to ignore the director's orders and do the scene such and such way instead.

I don't even like comics, but Hellboy (the ones written and illustrated by Mignola himself) is truly fucking special
unfortunately the later (better) instalments are pure arthouse and a faithful adaptation would never be profitable

it's both incredibly gothic and incredibly goofy and balances the two tones perfectly
and the artstyle is entirely unique and unlike anything else

Look, man, they’re speaking from a pop-culture/general audience perspective. It takes a very specific angle of attack to pull off a reboot that’s less bombastic and more grounded than what the public’s already been exposed to. Hell, I doubt Nolan’s Batman movies would have been nearly as successful if they’d come a mere five years after the Burton films, but at least those had a respected director and a clear vision. This has none of those things. This one could be 100% accurate to Mignola’s story and his atmosphere, but it still wouldn’t change the fact that the viewing public now knows Hellboy as the guy who saved the whole world twice in a couple of good to great movies, and again in a really terrible one. This film, good(lol) or not, is almost certainly doomed to fail.

The first two Jurassic Parks were considered scientifically accurate for the time and even 3 gave its raptors those head feathers as a small concession, the autistic screeching came from an expectation that Jurassic World and its sequels had to keep pace with newer discoveries if they wanted to be like the original when of course Hollywood is going to want to maintain consistency with the older movies for branding and keep the raptors scaly.
Of course if Hollywood was making more dinosaur movies besides Jurassic instead of pretending that Universal holds the trademark on all dinosaurs, then you wouldn't have quite as much "muh scientific accuracy" pressure put onto the World films.

> What are some other big ways that the comics differ from what people see on screen?

>My Hellboy is much older. Well, I guess they’re both the same age, it’s just my character matured somewhere back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. And del Toro’s Hellboy, even though they both arrived on Earth in the ‘40s, somehow del Toro’s Hellboy is still a lovesick teenager. My Hellboy is modeled on my father in some ways, a guy who’s been in the Korean War and he’s traveled and he’s done a lot of stuff, and he’s kind of got a “been there, done that” attitude. He’s also been in the world. Del Toro’s change was to have Hellboy bottled up in a room and mooning over the girl he can’t have. With my Hellboy, there were no girl problems. That element of the character was completely not in the comic.

I am also sick of them not trying to be accurate to the source material. So tired of settling for the "movie version" will all kinds of shitty Hollywood cliches and compromises.
Even the Del Toro movies, as much as he fought for it, were full of studio interference . For example. it felt too much like MiB and not enough like BPRD. Still. I am thankful as much of the source was in those films.

Crooked Man is honestly an excellent choice if you want to reboot Hellboy on a small budget. It's entirely self-contained, the horror comes mostly from things that aren't very hard to make convincingly (like witches or giant bugs), and it's overall a very good story.

Only thing I dislike about the trailer is that Hellboy is practically pink, but I've seen several moments in it that came straight for the comic and it gives me hope. I completely passed over the 2019 movie because from the trailers and posters I could see they were trying to cram too much of the comic into a single movie.
>>
>>200742011
That's exactly what a Hellboy movie should have been all along. The comics are more supernatural horror than anything else.

As enjoyable as the Del Taco movies are, they didn't actually feel like a proper Hellboy series, and the 2019 movie was dogshit all around.
At the very least you can tell that this movie is going to HEAVILY follow the comic book story that it's based off, which is pretty spot of for a low budget, "Horror" Hellboy movie. It's a gamble for the studio but if it at least makes a bit of profit they'd be able to turn these lower budget films out pretty easily with the 20+ years of various Hellboy stories.
There's a VERY large back catalogue of stories they could use in various countries, with various supernatural elements native to those countries, etc.

Mignola was never a good writer. He had John Byrne script all of his stuff then we he left just stole a bunch of European folk tales and put Hellboy in them, like this one with the Crooked Man.

I disagree. They can have plenty of these smaller scale stories that took place between 1950-1990 when the other B.P.R.D. agents weren't really important. Liz and Abe only really start to actively aid Hellboy in his investigations once the modern day comes. If they want to start with the lower budget, small scale stories like this where it's mostly just Hellboy and maybe a few token agents here and there for support, they could get A LOT out of Hellboy as a character.

Plus, I feel like with them focusing on Hellboy as the main character rather than an entire team of agents + Hellboy, they'll be able to really make the story more concise.
>>
>>200749327
That'd be alright for a show, but for a movie there's not a lot of standalone Hellboy stories they can use (besides Crooked Man, and maybe the Giant story).

>"This my Hellboy, not your Hellboy," when he told del Toro "hellboy wouldn't do that".
Based Toro

>>200749411
Almost every Hellboy story that takes place before Abe joins the team in (1981?) is a standalone Hellboy story.
And everything after Conqueror Worm is entirely Hellboy based because he flat out leaves the B.P.R.D. entirely.

If they wanted to do a show they should focus on stories that take place during the 10-15 years where Hellboy, Abe, and Liz were all the main field agents. Honestly, I' be happy if they gave us a show either way, but I feel like lower budget solo films for Hellboy would work while having the B.P.R.D. team together would work in a series format.

Well at least it looks like this hellboy can actually emote. Nothing against David Harbour, but he looked like the man in the iron mask in his hellboy make-up.

I can dig the low budget horror movie they're going with. The high budget cgi shit they did with the 2019 fiasco did them absolutely no favors.

Taking what would typically be a straight-to-streaming supernatural slasher and sticking Hellboy in the mix might actually make this thing work.

You're not alone. I was also annoyed by that.

>Most comics are garbage
This is unfortunately true. I grew up reading comics because we lived out in the sticks. When I had kids, I spent about $1500 getting all the old comics I threw away and a bunch of recommended titles. We filled the car up and I read them with my kids, passing issues with each other, and after an hour I got super panicked because they were all shit. I ended up flipping though volumes looking for "the good one", even sandman. God damn, they're all insufferable with shoestring plots to justify the artwork. The only books my kids liked were the joe kelly shit because they're written for 10 year olds

I am positive this is an unbiased opinion absolutely no related on Perlman's IRL political stance.

>>200751395
Obviously I would as well. When I said that I'd be fine if they did a show focusing on Hellboy's time in the B.P.R.D., I mean that I'd want that to introduce and show Abe, Liz, Roger, etc and actually give them a bit of time to show us the characters rather than add them into a movie and give us 3-5 different characters to focus on for a 2 hour movie.

Films should focus on Hellboy as a solo agent, and any shows can be used to introduce others and add more to Hellboy's backstory.

This hurts, I love hellboy and it would translate to film well enough in the right hands. They should just go back to animating it but actually emulate the style more.
>>
>>200746537
I loved all hellboys I watched. I went the route they expected with new fans : watched the movies (HB1 was scary for me at the time) then started reading the comics.
I don't think it's a real problem to simplify your character, because in this case the esoteric world of Hellboy is so fucking massive that it adds another adventure layer : not only they're moving places, but nothing is like it appears. Its fantasy in its simplest form : the unreal appearing in the real.
Anyway, my point is the movies weren't made for comic autists. They never fucking are. They're made for new blood like me. People that can also turn autistic given the chance.

>>
>>200739710
I feel like we're in a monkey's paw situation where instead of trying to compress a dozen comic-book arcs into a two-hour movie they decided to adapt a single short story, which is a great move. Then they apparently decided to just throw out the story's premise and use it as window dressing, which is a baffling choice.

That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be bad. Their goal should just be to tell a coherent, self-contained story in 90 minutes and manage to make Hellboy likeable. If they can do that that's a win. A lot of the Del Toro films' success rides on how good Perlman was; if you miss with the casting the whole movie falls apart. 90% of why people like Hellboy is Hellboy.
>>

Millenium also just did the new Red Sonja movie, which makes me worried now it will be also super low budget
>>
>>200754776
>Then they apparently decided to just throw out the story's premise and use it as window dressing
I don't think they threw out the story's premise at all. This actually looks like they paid close attention to the premise of the story based on the various characters and locations we can see from the trailer. Very accurate to The Crooked Man comic
>>
>>200755260
Oh yeah, it'll be super low budget, but they really only need a couple decent shots of crawler bugs and decent makeup for the villains.

Crooked Man is honestly a perfect story for Del Toro. Too bad he'll never be involved again.
>>
>>200745333
In the continuity of the films, he’s intentionally a little spoiled and sheltered. He’s been surrounded by people who(understandably) kiss his ass. He’s their single greatest asset.
>>
>>200747374
Bingo.
>>
>>200746764
>>200746537
What does he give a shit? The movies did free advertising for his work and added more money to his pocket. Hellboy being a coddled government project is a good plotline and change and one that resonated with people and that's the endgame.

The Crooked Man is one of my favourite Hellboy stories, and I'm telling you now: this is absolute dogshit.
Doesn't have the right tone, there's a random Asian woman there simply for for box-ticking, there's a fucking modern high-speed train when it's set in the early-to-mid 20th century. The special effects look cheap as hell, too.
Complete miss on every count.
The feeling you should be getting from this story is of hillbilly voodoo magic in isolated, humid Appalachia. The colours should be bright and saturated for the first half, instead of complete monochrome.
Pure dogshit.

Together, they travel to Appalachia to take on the Crooked Man, who has been sent back to Earth to collect souls for the devil."

This is the right direction, though. Don't adapt the main stories, just do stand alone horror movies starring Hellboy. I wish it was in the 60s though.
