Avis à la une
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 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 liked 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 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 are also some wacky CGI that are 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 breathe some fresh air into the superhero genre and I would like to see this turned into a franchise.

You'd expect Hellboy to be a wild ride full of intense action, epic battles, and the kind of adrenaline-pumping scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat. Instead, what we got was a movie bogged down by endless, mind-numbing dialogue.
And the worst part? Most of that talking wasn't even from Hellboy himself! He felt more like a background character in his own movie.
It was mostly the other characters driving the narrative, leaving Hellboy sidelined and underused. The film dragged on, with far too many unnecessary conversations and not enough of the action we came to see.
Honestly, it was baffling. You sit down expecting a badass, fiery adventure with a legendary comic book hero, and instead, you get a tedious mess where Hellboy barely even shines.
The pacing was slow, the character development weak, and it felt like the filmmakers completely missed the essence of what makes Hellboy so beloved.
It wasn't just bad-it was so, so, so bad. The disappointment was overwhelming. It's hard to believe they dropped the ball this much on such a promising character.

People are addicted to soulless, mass produced, green screen, fast-edited blockbusters with ridiculous budgets that treat the viewers like 8 year olds with ADD. Well this ain't one of them.
The story is smaller in scale, which is what the superhero genre needs after it's been marvelized beyond recognition during the last 20 years. The cast is doing a good job, the pace is fine, the 90 minute running time is ideal, the cinematography is great. Could've used a better soundtrack and some more light in certain sequences.
Of course if it's not your cup of tea, you can always rewatch the abysmal 2019 Hellboy.

I'm not one of those movie experts, but let me say this: it is NOT a real movie. Everything from the story and special effects till the dubbing (I watched in PT) feels plastic to me. Everything that happens is out of coincidence or luck, which gives you that cheap taste. I liked some characters and scenes, but my liking for it can only go so far. I'm not gonna say it's a waste of time because it didn't feel like that to me. Just go to the theaters expecting to see a fan made movie, that's all.
Now I'm just saying words to complete the minimum requirement of six hundred characters which I think is too much.

I have just watched this movie and it was OK. I have never seen hellboy's movies but I have read comics and I can say that this adaptation is decent. Jack Kesy's performance as Hellboy was good and the moments with crooked man were very scary.
However, the special effects are mediocre, especially the 3D. The action is a bit borring and I would have liked more if it had been more violent. The photograpfy is very lazy and poor. I understand that the budget of this movie was not big but it looks like a B-Class movie sometimes.
In summary, if you like the comics, you will like this adaptation; however, don't expect to be surprised because this movie is just OK.

- AnecdotesIn an interview with Novastream, director Brian Taylor stated that the title sequences wasn't planned out. He designed the title himself from his home. Because the film ran out of money, he used his After Effects and Photoshop skills to design the title sequence. He wanted to give the film a "Hammer Horror, kind of, 70s folk horror feeling going on".
