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.
Most of that talking wasn't even from Hellboy himself!
Instead, what we got was a movie bogged down by endless, mind-numbing dialogue.And the worst part? 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.
The disappointment was overwhelming
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. It's hard to believe they dropped the ball this much on such a promising character.. The final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
