So much potential. Oh well.
In the grand scheme of terrible movies, it does seem like comic-book movies have a higher chance than most of ending up in the so-bad-they're-good category.
After the match-made-in-heaven duo of movies from 2004 and 2008, which had future Oscar-winner Guillermo Del Toro behind the camera, and born-to-play-it Ron Perlman in the red body paint, it does make a certain kind of sense why they'd want to go back to this well: now is the time of the superhero genre, so might as well strike while the iron is hot.
He's surrounded by a supporting cast that are given next to nothing to do by the script: Sasha Lane is a psychic with a past with Hellboy, but she only pops up halfway through the movie to vomit exposition. Ian McShane is both Hellboy's adoptive father and the leader of the paranormal investigation group he works for, there to give a sense of gravitas that never arrives. Daniel Dae Kim is the fellow agent with mysterious scars on his face that hates Hellboy because...
What he does care about is violence. Blood and guts and smushed heads. Remember that scene from Game Of Thrones, the Mountain versus the Viper? Remember how that ends, with a shock of explicit, too-realistic gore? Well, that is how EVERY scene in this new Hellboy ends.violent, but played against a tone of"The world is about to end, LOL", it just doesn't sit right.
