Good movie for the adults wouldn't recommend for young kids.

This wasn’t that bad. Definitely no where near the first two, but a decent watch. The 4K presentation is fantastic though.

This 4K Blu-ray of Hellboy (2019) is amazing. The video quality is superb, with excellent HDR and detail, thanks to the native 4K resolution brought to us by Lionsgate. The audio is excellently mixed, with plenty of powerful bass, crispy clear dialogue, overhead and surround sound. This Dolby ATMOS track really kicks major butt and is available on both the 4K UHD disc along with the standard Blu-ray. There is also lots and lots of special features included on the standard Blu-ray, which is worth checking out if you're a movie buff. I personally enjoyed the original Guillermo Del Toro and Ron Perlman Hellboy movies much more. Those movies were fun, action packed packed, funny, and creative. If you're thinking of buying this 2019 Hellboy reboot, I highly suggest renting it first due to all the mixed reactions from audiences. If you're just a straight movie buff with a 4K TV and a surround sound system, you won't be disappointed.

Now fans of Mignola's original comics may well like the fact that this version culls so much content from them, and yet the film is rather oddly structured, including the more or less prologue setting up the whole Arthurian element along with the nefarious, initially dissected, Vivienne Numie (Milla Jovovich), otherwise known as the Blood Queen. But after the film ostensibly segues to contemporary times, it first flashes back for a kind of silly rehash of the discovery of Hellboy (played by David Harbour as an adult), albeit this time with all sorts of supposed psychological angst stemming from the fact that Hellboy wasn't previously aware that his adoptive father Trevor Bruttenhome (Ian McShane) initially may have had a bit of infanticide on his mind. And in fact this Hellboy seems to rather desperately want to inject the kind of "gravitas" that has informed some other cinematic superhero adaptations, except that in this case that approach just kind of clashes, arguably comically, with the sillier aspects of the Hellboy character. But even after the flashback, the film then goes off on an apparent tangent involving an occult society in England that is seeking to curtail the activities of mutant giants. This part of the film ultimately is kinda sorta woven into the overall fabric, but it's both too disjunctive and frankly too misdirectional to ultimately work that well. , some may feel they've wandered into a previously unknown episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. This is a film that is stuffed to its veritable gills and/or horns with subplots and supporting characters, and there's an onslaught of variably effective CGI at play as well, and yet this reboot seems to be missing one of the central elements of the at least relatively well remembered Ron Perlman — Guillermo del Toro films, namely: fun. The film tries to be "hip and happening", with Harbour is appealing enough in the role, but he simply can't erase the memory of Perlman, especially when he seems to be mimicking Perlman's very distinctive speaking voice. Hellboy offers an overly convoluted "origin story" here that of course ultimately ties in to the whole Arthurian aspect, and it does have a good deal of fun with various occult elements like witches, demons and shape shifters, but the screenplay (by Andrew Cosby) is simply too busy for its own good, darting hither and yon to try to give the viewer an epic with some psychological underpinnings, something that's perhaps a fool's errand when the focal character is Hellboy.

If I’m being honest, this isn’t a great movie, but it’s also not quite as horrible as everyone makes it sound. It’s really just very generic and by the numbers. There’s some really great design work and definitely feels like it’s pulled straight from the pages of the comic. The 4K picture and sound quality is pretty good. The set comes with some great special features if you’re a fan of seeing how these kinds of movies are made. Given all the issues to have occurred behind the scenes, I would’ve loved a director commentary on the film. The set comes with a digital redemption code, but is only usable for Vudu and Fandango Movies which I don’t use. Would prefer a Movies Anywhere redemption code.
