Finally someone has finally watched this practical effect masterpiece in my opinion Hellboy is literally my favorite movie and little one of my favorite comic book character
@@iancruz6617yeah the samuel was mostly practical and it's such a beautiful design it's such a beautiful design I think out of con it's got its own like statue a part of a museum of spectacular creature designs
I always seem to be in the minority, as someone who absolutely hated Hellboy 2. After the amazing first movie, which followed story beats from the comics, Hellboy 2 was just not as good, didn't have anything from the comics, did the weird pregnancy angle, turned Johann into Comic Relief. Wasn't based on any actual myth or legend. Just not a good movie.
@@Tensen01I think general consensus is that first one was great and second one pretty weak. Personally I like the image of elves in seconds movie, but that’s all.
do yourself a favor and dont... unless you just REALLY need more hellboy content. I feel like the lead does an OK hellboy, but the comedy was off for me and the VFX coulda been done better by a highschooler after watching a few youtube tutorials. if you go into, go into it under the influence of something and expect playdoe people and ketchup blood.
Doug Jones was also the fish guy in Shape of Water. edit: Along with so many other things. My favourite is one of the Gentlemen from the Buffy Episode named Hush. 😊
Literally a masterpiece my dad showed me this movie as a kid and I feel inlove, Ron was a perfect casting choice and he’s hilarious definitely still holds up and still fun to watch even years later.
Enjoyed this so much better than the re-make. Actually, I got bored with the new one. John Hurt is one of my very favorite actors, which he plays the professor so great. Now, please do "The Golden Army", you will not be disappointed.
If you're at all interested in graphic novels/comics, the Hellboy comics by Mike Mignola are AMAZING. Del Toro's two Hellboy movies did a nice job adapting the comics as well as adding several very del Toro touches.
The practical effects, animatronics, prosthetics and makeup of this movie as well as in the sequel look better than most VFX and CGI today! I’m not knocking down VFX artists AT ALL, they bust their asses as much as any other department on any movie or tv show. But there is something about actual tangible practical effects (like in Hellboy) that give a sense of realism which draws the audience in more to the story. And sadly not all movie productions have the time or money of say the Avatar movies to make CGI look as great as real life.
I agree,...5 nights at Freddies, while the movie could have been a lot better, i really appreciated the practical effects...i had assumed it was going to be all cgi and wasnt going to bother, but i was impressed with that part of the movie, just needed a lot more.
An actor named Doug Jones played Abe "Fish guy" Sapien, The other fish guy in "The shape of water", both humanoid creatures in "Pan's Labyrinth", Saru on Star Trek Discovery and MANY other roles, often with heavy latex prosthetic makeup. He's 6' 4" and weighs about 140 pounds.
Possible spoiler alert: Hellboy and his full strength can beat Thanos and Darkseid simultaneously. Hellboy is the son of the devil and the descendant of king Arthur.
You guys definitely have to watch Hellboy ll The Golden Army now, i actually think it much better than the first film. Luke Goss is awesome as the villain.
The Hellboy comics are really good it took a long break but I like how they explained it, Hellboy fell from the moon to earth landed in the ocean and the time cap is Hellboy just walking and finding his way back
John Hurt (Hellboy's "father") also played "Elephant Man", and had the alien burst out of his chest in "Alien". How you missed that... Doug Jones was also the "Silver Surfer".
That is funny to see them reacting about Doug Jones as the creature guy about this movie. Because, at that time, for young adults who had been kids in the 80s, the creature guy dealing with prosthetics was Ron Perlman. Ron Perlman was a Neanderthal in Quest for Fire 1981, Salvatore in the Name of the Rose 1986, the Beast in TV series Beauty and The Beast (1987-1990). Although he has no make-up in the City of Lost Children 1995 , his role is based on his unusual physique. And he was the voice of Clayface in the DC Animated Universe. And John Hurt who is not recognizable because of his make-up in Hellboy, was an unforgettable Elephant Man 1980. In Hellboy II : The Golden Army 2008, Guillermo Del Toro did not have the budget to make some CGI sequences as he wanted. So, he simply lowered his expectations for them to make them OK. This second opus had an higher budget, an more impressive practical sets, and a lot of beautiful Del Toro imagery. The vilain has a lot more depth in the second one.
@CinePals this is my favorite version of Hellboy, don't get me wrong Hellboy with David Harbour was good but Ron Perlman was the best actor to play and voice Hellboy
Hope you guys watch the second film I got to see that one in theaters as a kid. Unfortunately we never got a third film cuz Mike Mignola Guillermo del Toro got to a dispute part the third script which meant ending their friendship and their partnership. (Mike mignola is the creator of Hellboy)
When you think about Ron Pearlman also playing the Beast in that old 90s tv beauty and the beast it kind of puts him up there as one of the greats when it comes to costume/make-up acting.
took five hours to get Ron Perlman in the Hellboy makeup. about the same amount of time to get it off again. he did it EVERY DAY of filming for TWO movies and AGAIN several years later to meet a kid from the Make A Wish Foundation. dude rules.
Funnily enough. Yes, Doug Jones who played the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth does indeed play the fishman, Abe Sapien. And he also plays the Amphibian Man in The Shape of Water. He truly is talented.
31:09 he doesn’t have to mutilate himself to be good. They said he grinds his horns to fit in with everyone. When others grow horns on their heads then he would let his grow.
One of the things that I realized after watching your video is why I like the creatures that keep resurrecting: they are more than just "attack and destroy", and actually show a certain degree of intelligence. For instance, in a Marvel movie, the creatures would just keep attacking blindly until they were killed. But in Hellboy, they might actually leave a battle because they have a higher priority of laying eggs than defeating Hellboy. They seemed like they are constantly assessing their surroundings, and will either fight or flee depending on what needs to be done.
I was only 4 and Hellboy was awesome and at the same time gave me nightmares. The dude with no eyelids scared the shit out of me and It felt damn near like a horror movie. For it’s time it was really pushing the dichotomies of being an antihero
An absolutely favorite comic book based movie character Both movies are fantastic (you definitely need to see the Golden Army) its still incredibly uncomfortable to this day we never did get our trilogy 😔😞 Ron Perlman forever to me is Hellboy it's his. I tbh didn't like that they did a remake so I can't have an opinion on it but if people liked it that's there choice and opinion nuf said😁👍
This movie really was the peak of the modern comic book movie era. This was around the time of the first Spider-man 2, X-men 2 etc. Before the MCU took over.
Second movie felt different to the first one then I look up a different studio made it because the one who did the first one went bank rupt when they starting something good that shy happen
This and the sequel are films that make me go "How did they come up with all this?" And that's before the execution of it. A lot of the movies Ron stars in are like that come to think of it. Golden Army is just next level stuff actually. There is no way after having seen this one I could have anticipated that one.
Always respected how David Hyde Pierce refused to have his name in the credits for doing Abe's voice because he felt it took away from Doug Jones's performance.
Love this movie. You missed a funny little end credit scene where the new director is still stuck in the catacombs asking on his comm if anybody is still there. 😄
I’ve always loved the detail of Hellboy’s breath becoming visible after he transforms. You mostly see it added to imply ice powers, which I don’t think is how condensation works. 🤔
Hellboy has some really good animated movies with this movie cast. One with vampires and another with Japanese demons. Well worth watching. I enjoyed the David Harbour casting for Hellboy and the R-rating. The movie just felt a little aimless.
Glad you like it I did in theaters... Back in the day The first is always the best film... The new actor and new style of Hellboy was not my cup of tea... But that actor was good in The Equalizer ... Would you style this movie like Van Hensley....
"Maybe the American soldiers should step in before this happens..." Funny thing about America and World War II and us not doing something until we were personally affected, doing the minimal amount with the most fallout (pun intended) then audaciously taking all the credit.
For the final battle, they could have removed the pause between the two battles ("big demon" and "little demon") and just shown it as one long battle. Without the pause, the appearance of the little demon feels more like a true finale and extension of the big demon battle, rather than a "second ending". It could have been established throughout the movie that the main bad guy didn't just want to unleash the big demon, but actually wanted to be possessed by it. So, in the final battle, the viewers are expecting this to happen, so once again, it doesn't feel like a second ending because it was the very thing that the good guys were trying to prevent the whole time.
Imo, the 2 guillermo del torro hellboy films outshine the david harbour one by a landslide, they had so much more heart and are practical effects marvels
Well, there are two animated movies, voiced by the same cast. . And they are pretty dope and even closer to the source material, especially "Blood and Iron".
So much to be said about Hellboy. The casting is great, practical effects and special effects are still excellent, directing and editing keep the pace moving, and the score hits all the marks. What you really need to do is here the special track and listen to the cast tell their stories about each scene and their take on what was happening. Everyone will tell you to react to the Golden Army, please do so. Not as tight a storyline but full of action, humor and fun.
The shape of water is most certainly no coincidence considering its they’re both directed by the same person and the fish people are played by the same actor.
to me Ron Pearlman will always be the best Hellboy and his absence is one of the reason I never saw the new one from a couple of years ago ....now the animated ones I don't think he was the voice but I still liked them
Finally someone has finally watched this practical effect masterpiece in my opinion Hellboy is literally my favorite movie and little one of my favorite comic book character
Yea that giant squid was practical or when that fourbeyes was moving or running attacking.
@@iancruz6617yeah the samuel was mostly practical and it's such a beautiful design it's such a beautiful design I think out of con it's got its own like statue a part of a museum of spectacular creature designs
Ditto ❤
Yeah Hellboy is really awesome. My father showed it to me when it came to the TV in Germany. I love the second part too. ❤️
This is one of my personal favorite comic book superhero movies and its independent of both Marvel and DC
Ron Perlman was perfect as Hellboy.
Totally agree. Vin Diesel at one point was considered to play Hellboy in this version but he was already busy working on other movies.
Pity he never got that third film. I suppose he could do voice work if they do another animated film like those two prequel animated movies.
This one is cool. Hellboy 2 is even more fun!
I wish they would have done a 3 or more with this original cast.
Me too!
I always seem to be in the minority, as someone who absolutely hated Hellboy 2.

I absolutely love their take on Elves in The Golden Army. Luke Goss is pretty underrated
The David Harbor one is non existent to me lol
Selma Blair was hot 🔥
i read its shitty
Yes, Doug Jones does the movements for the fish guy as well as the creature from Pan's Labyrinth.
Yep, with David Hyde Pierce doing his voice.
Doug Jones was also the fish guy in Shape of Water.
edit: Along with so many other things. My favourite is one of the Gentlemen from the Buffy Episode named Hush. 😊
Doug Jones is also the Death Angel that removed the blade from Hellboy in HB2*
Love this move. Grew up watching it, so it's very nostalgic.
@JordanCesaroni93 same here, plus I love Ron Perlman as Hellboy. David Harbour was pretty good but Ronl Perlman had him beat
Loved this movie growing up. The sequel Hellboy: The Golden Army is just as amazing.
Literally a masterpiece my dad showed me this movie as a kid and I feel inlove, Ron was a perfect casting choice and he’s hilarious definitely still holds up and still fun to watch even years later.
Love Del Toro's Hellboys they are so good. Especially the Golden Army, which is honestly one of my favorite superhero/comic films.
Enjoyed this so much better than the re-make. Actually, I got bored with the new one. John Hurt is one of my very favorite actors, which he plays the professor so great. Now, please do "The Golden Army", you will not be disappointed.

this movie is a masterpiece and Ron Perlman is incredibly underrated, such a quality actor.
This is great, and I think the sequel was even better Golden Army.
The sequel was my favorite action movie as a kid hands down
golden army is the sequel
@@purpleowlanimation damn I didn’t even know that!! I’m not familiar with the comics so I just assumed it was from there bc of how well it worked
I genuinely cannot understand this take. I seem to be the only one who loved the first movie and hated the second.
This and Golden Army are just dripping with style! Such fun movies!
I love Hellboy!!! That was an awesome movie. Hope you guys react to the sequel.
The practical effects, animatronics, prosthetics and makeup of this movie as well as in the sequel look better than most VFX and CGI today! I’m not knocking down VFX artists AT ALL, they bust their asses as much as any other department on any movie or tv show. But there is something about actual tangible practical effects (like in Hellboy) that give a sense of realism which draws the audience in more to the story. And sadly not all movie productions have the time or money of say the Avatar movies to make CGI look as great as real life.
I agree,...5 nights at Freddies, while the movie could have been a lot better, i really appreciated the practical effects...i had assumed it was going to be all cgi and wasnt going to bother, but i was impressed with that part of the movie, just needed a lot more.

He's 6' 4" and weighs about 140 pounds.

You guys definitely have to watch Hellboy ll The Golden Army now, i actually think it much better than the first film. Luke Goss is awesome as the villain.
Luke Goss is always good. It's a shame he was never better known, but with the problems he was having in his life, I don't blame him.
Love all 3 Hellboy live action flicks, especially the first 2. There are 2 animated films with Ron Perlman too.
In real life he's john hurt, he had a xenomorph pop out of him twice, sells magic wands and is a timelord
Also half man ,half elephant?
John Hurt was also the guy in ALIEN that had the alien explode out of his chest : ) Steph : )
The Hellboy comics are really good it took a long break but I like how they explained it, Hellboy fell from the moon to earth landed in the ocean and the time cap is Hellboy just walking and finding his way back

24:44 sumeone finally said it😂
9:02 I do believe Jabby was laughing at the uniquely male experience of what I can only describe as a post pee climax.
Hellboy is such a great movie.
I so surprised that you didn't know who John Hurt was. He was such a great actor. He was also in Harry Potter if it helps.
John Hurd was also in another great si fi classic Alien. 👏👽🙂
Yes, yes, you are correct sir. He was also in a all time classic King Raph.
Hope you guys watch the second film I got to see that one in theaters as a kid.
Unfortunately we never got a third film cuz Mike Mignola Guillermo del Toro got to a dispute part the third script which meant ending their friendship and their partnership.

Rasputin in real life survived like 7 brutal assaniation attempts they just couldn't kill him
Funnily enough. Yes, Doug Jones who played the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth does indeed play the fishman, Abe Sapien.
And he also plays the Amphibian Man in The Shape of Water. He truly is talented.
The sequel is EVEN better!!! Was really hoping for a complete trilogy! It DESERVES a 3rd movie! But there’s HOPE for the future! Hopefully NEAR future
31:09 he doesn’t have to mutilate himself to be good. They said he grinds his horns to fit in with everyone. When others grow horns on their heads then he would let his grow.
"Gonna be sore in the morning ...." Great line, really have to feel for HB right there.
He was the guy who had the baby alien pop out of his chest in ALIEN - Hi beautiful Steph : )
Love this movie and it’s sequel
Never a better Hellboy than Ron Pearlman. ❤️
This man thought hellboy ate the cats lmao 🤣
I hope you watch the second one to, its even better than the first and goes in to the universe more

An absolutely favorite comic book based movie character

Ron Perlman forever to me is Hellboy it's his.
I tbh didn't like that they did a remake so I can't have an opinion on it but if people liked it that's there choice and opinion nuf said😁👍
The actor who plays the Fishman in this is the same one from Shape of Water. Doug Jones
This movie really was the peak of the modern comic book movie era. This was around the time of the first Spider-man 2, X-men 2 etc. Before the MCU took over.
The sequel is very good. (Golden Army)
The second one is one of the best comic book movies of all time
That tooth fairy scene is so fucked up for a pg-13 movie
Second movie felt different to the first one then I look up a different studio made it because the one who did the first one went bank rupt when they starting something good that shy happen
Titanic was of 13
@@iancruz6617 ahhh that makes so much sense. Second one feels like Del Toro through and through
I dressed up as Hellboy when i was 7 years old, this was my favourite film for YEARS

John Hurt was also Olivander the wandmaker in Harry Potter. Also Winston in 1984.
Del Toro’s Underrated movies👌
Bit of trivia, the guy who played Rasputin also played the "barely human" lawyer for the vampires in Blade.
Hellboy 2 is amazing even today!way better than fantasy movies today!😬you should watch that
Great reaction we need the 2nd movie guys.
Love this movie.

I feel like I remember jaby talking bout watching this hell boy before. I could be wrong tho
I'm surprised Jaby HADN'T seen Hellboy. I figured you'd be running to the theatre to see it. lol

I love ron perlman as hellboy instead of the other guy and selma blair and john hert is awesome in the movie🎥
My uncle had this in dvd and a 6 year old me was mind blown
The clock work guy is still alive but it be really hard for him to get out of that pit
Glad you like it
I did in theaters...
Back in the day
The first is always the best film...
The new actor and new style of Hellboy was not my cup of tea...

Would you style this movie like Van Hensley....
You would love the second one Hellboy and the golden army! let's watch that too

Every time I watch this, which is often, I have to follow it up with Alien : Resurrection. Ron was great in that movie!
Love Hellboy, awesome that you're watching it (don't watch the newest one tho).
Now you need to see HELL BOY 2 AND THE GOLDEN ARMY.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the set designers helped work on designing the set for the Mortal Kombat movies.
I always love your reactions. Its so fun to watch you. ❤️
They need to make the comic books into a animated TV series
Well, there are two animated movies, voiced by the same cast. . And they are pretty dope and even closer to the source material, especially "Blood and Iron".

If 2 monsters crash through a subway ceiling you stick around to see what's going to happen
The shape of water is most certainly no coincidence considering its they’re both directed by the same person and the fish people are played by the same actor.
As good as this one is, I think, at least visually, the HBII: The Golden Army is even more beautiful.
Funny you mentioned the shape of water at the Egg scene. This movie is by the same director and the actor plays both fish creatures from both movies
Ron Perlman plays the same character in pretty much every role he plays..but it works😊
to me Ron Pearlman will always be the best Hellboy and his absence is one of the reason I never saw the new one from a couple of years ago ....now the animated ones I don't think he was the voice but I still liked them
grew up watching it and love it
Jaby: “he’s pure of heart. He’s probably a jerk in real life!”
Be careful Jaby, that’s Kane from Alien. He will pop an alien out at you
First time watching???? WoW. It seems Jaby is been living in some another world, for some reason.
I LOVE the original (first) Hellboy. I used to watch it all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still don't understand why this channel isn't called "Jaby's Angels" lol
I love this movie, but then again I love Lovecraft.
Grew up watching Hell Boy!
THANKS for this!!!! I'm sorry that you hurt your eyes with that "Hellboy" reboot :) I keep forgetting how good this film is!!!
Dayumm Steph is glowing in black😮
You are seeing Hellboy for first time, wow. I was also born yesterday
