This is actually based on the hellboy comic hellboy the crooked man from the trailer it looks really faithful to the book

[@MaddNomad1015]

It looks faithful, but the makeup and effects looks terrible.

[@michaelrizzo7342]

Hellboy hunting down a conjuring style movie monster doesn't sound like a bad time. Shooting the movie in the style of the monster he's hunting sounds like the best way to do Hellboy movies if you can't get Deltoro.

[@gustavosifuentes3991]

Honestly I like the concept. Trailer wasn’t great but I feel like they withheld a lot of great scenes which is causing undeserved backlash from “fans”

[@MaddNomad1015]

@@gustavosifuentes3991it looks pretty bad. They should’ve made it into a series in my opinion with the horror/detective element.

[@brabiz67]

It’s in the style of the comic book it’s based on…

[@logenvestfold4143]

I’ll never be happy with Hellboy in cinema until Del Toro gets his third film

[@jerrydelgado3684]

Check out the crooked man comic the kovie gives off the vibes from the comics

[@jemmaskinner-du8yd]

the first Hellboy movie was a masterpiece

[@jemmaskinner-du8yd]

That pig thing it almost looks like an animatronic with how realistic they did it But the movie really did suck

[@moodyowlproductions4287]

Here the short answer..Ron perlman got too old to play the part anymore

[@brianmcfeeley9382]

Never knew about it till I seen this video I love hellboy so I'm all in

[@job4391]

I'm definitely giving this movie a chance.

[@wallygator92]

They should just stop rebooting the live action movies and make an adult Hellboy animated series like the Spawn animated series on HBO back in the 90s and Invincible on Amazon Prime.

[@Dirty0o0Jester]

Hellboy's version of the crooked man is more of a demonic swindler, a shitty landlord, all rolled in to a decrepit form. Its also an exploration of redemption and forgiving yourself for past wrongs. If this movie can touch on that much at least, ill be pretty damn happy. Not holding my breath tho

[@horrorman-er4nk]

Hellboy horror can be cool

[@Zombiesnyder13]

Neil Marshall was the right director for the wrong movie

[@kanukki84]

That Crooked man trailer is so baaad!!

[@Velthur74]

I am also exciting but this coming movie

[@InkAndOxide]

The Del Toro movies are not definitive Hellboy movies. They do not match the tone or character personalities or stories in the least. Hellboy is a horror comic, not a Marvel superhero comic.

[@MaddNomad1015]

Del Toro movies are what the Sam Raimi films are with Spiderman.
Introduction to the universe while holding a place in hearts.
I agree with them not being similar to the comic though.

[@rangerfanboy1710]

Ron Perlman was Hellboy!

[@jemmaskinner-du8yd]

Now his back story involves him looking like a fat baby

[@purplefidelity5162]

I think there’s a lot of great potential…except for Hellboy himself. Idk I’ll hold official judgments for when I actually watch this but dude is not fitting the role whatsoever.

[@tardooayua6195]

A lot of Hellboy fans did not like Hellboy 2

[@jesperjee]

It was great!

[@demonteprice5870]

Lot campier than the books I'll admit, but I saw it before I read any of them admittedly; and I still love that movie till this day, it may not be very Mignola but it's certainly amazing Del Toro.

[@user-vj6us1nn9q]

Mignola is not an screenwriter, not a good writer, not a director. He's not even a good-ass artist.

[@jerrydelgado3684]

Can I see your work?

[@user-vj6us1nn9q]

@@jerrydelgado3684 argumentum ab auctoritate, really?

[@jerrydelgado3684]

@user-vj6us1nn9q no you hate the man that bad then don't watch the movie. You sound ignorant asf and a child.

[@jesperjee]

@@jerrydelgado3684 That is a dumb argument. It really is. Have you ever been upset after your team lost a football match? Can you play better? Bad argument

[@Turbike]

This is a wild take, my friend. Mignola's art might seem simple at first glance but he's a mater of shape and light dynamics, composition and design. It takes a master to convey information and atmosphere as cleanly as he does.
