I don't think we minded the idea of an R-rated Hellboy. Or even David Harbour playing Hellboy. Most people just wanted to see the Del Toro/Ron Perlman era properly concluded and, aside from the two animated films, we never got that.

Ron Perlman is and always will be our Hellboy.

If any movie should be R rated it should be Hellboy

Del toro should've definitely finished his trilogy

16 producers is way too many people in command!

Every fan of the source material wanted an R rated Hellboy

Neil Marshall was the right director for the wrong movie

I saw a tweet floating around about how much The Green Knight visually evokes the chiaroscuro of Hellboy and that makes me think that the best Hellboy adaption isnt trying to make it into a big budget MCU style fair, but keeping in mind the independent and artist driven spirit that created it.

Ron perlman/guillermo has just that very distinct and recognizable charm

A lot of films get ruined when producers think they’re “creative”.

Man, Abe and Hellboy getting drunk together in Hellboy 2 is truly unique, funny, and hilarious bromance moment 😂😂😂

I think the biggest mistake was choosing to adapt the final arc of the comic, an mix it with a bunch of other stories. The Crooked Man is a much more low budget friendly arc.

I think that might've been one of the few times I've seen the Critical Drinker without the sunglasses.

Too bad del Toro and Pearlman never made a third movie.

I liked that movie. I also liked the Ron Perlman versions AND read the comics **GASP**

I appreciate the effort the cast and crew put in but I think Hellboy(2019) was just something nobody was asking for and unfortunately the movie just didn’t land.

André Øvredal should direct Hellboy He already worked with Del Toro in "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" and did a great job

The R rating was NOT the issue with this movie. Because if any franchise deserves an R rating it would be Hellboy. The problem was the storyline. Plot. And phoning it in acting.

Del toro and pearlman make hellboy

Obviously, this wasn’t the movie fans wanted… we wanted Del Toro and Perlman… but I LOVE Hellboy and I gave this movie a chance. I think your analysis is spot on. It’s not terrible though, just trying to do too much and not doing what it does cram in we’ll enough. Here’s to more Hellboy films, and some tears for the never-to-happen Hellboy 3

David Harbour was genuinely excellent as Hellboy and the movie was fine. It was absolutely crammed with fun ideas - arguably TOO MANY fun ideas, because none of them ever got a chance to breathe, so what you effectively had was an entire Netflix series' worth of content stuffed into a single movie where EVERYTHING! HAPPENED! ALL! AT! ONCE!! making for a bit of an exhausting watch if you weren't paying full attention. I genuinely think had circumstances been different, people would look a lot more kindly on this version of the character.

I enjoyed the original 2 movies but was pleasantly surprised at the new version and appreciate what they did to the characters. Hoping they would continue with more stories.

We needed a 3rd installment before this one

At the beginning of this video I remembered loving the comics and was thinking "I like David Harbor, how bad could this movie be.." then when I saw Mila Jovovich as the Blood Queen, I remembered I HAD seen this movie. Not just bad, forgettable.

I haven't seen the newer one, but the R-rating most likely isn't the reason it failed. The original two were good *despite* the PG-13 rating, not because of it. The real problem is not bringing the original director or cast back.

So sad Golden Army didn't get the love it deserved. It got totally overshadowed by The Dark Knight in cinemas. I actually find Hell Boy 2 more fun to rewatch than DK

I didn’t mind this idea

We missed our chance at a proper Hellboy followup and will never get Guillermo's H3. Ron Perlman was too perfect in the part and that's a good chunk of why future versions are going to be that much more difficult.

I would kill for a third and final Guillermo del toro film

The Hellboy series is one of my fav comics ever. GDT’s films are cults and Pearlman’s hellboy is iconic, but i think we deserve a more true to the character version on the big screen.

Ron Perlman is a great actor that is a fact, like math or gravity. He made the role of Hellboy his own, that goes without question. But David Harbour did a great job as Hellboy and carried that impossibly bad film on his back like the greek titan Atlas _but for acting_ . With a better film surrounding him, I would definitely watch David Harbour take another crack at playing Hellboy.

R rating was perfect. Neil is perfect for an R rating. The problem was that instead of making it a dark, Lovecraftian, faerie influenced horror film out of it, they made an MCU style quipathon with added swearing. The script is the problem. The R rating is the single good decision they made.

It was for me. I like it and saw it in the theater. I like the other movies too. I would have had no problem with this being a prequel or trilogy finisher.

I think that they should have started with the full adaption of "Darkness Calls" as the first movie, then "The Wild Hunt" as the second movie, and finally "The Storm And The Fury" the third movie in this trilogy like the comics they are based on. It's truly sad they couldn't film the movie similar to the epic Hellboy trilogy.

Bang gives Beep a relaxing retro hairstyle 🌺

I’ve always thought that Hellboy Reboot had the same problem that DCEU movies did. They tried to immediately jump into Avengers team up against the super big bad instead of building up the characters in their separate movies and slowly introducing new ones with their character developments. Hellboy Reboot had like 3 moments where it was like “Oh the world’s doomed, wait a minute, another macguffin!”

I love Guillermo del Toro. His creature are uncanny creepy but majestic at the same time

We live in a time where we see old movies get sequels ten years or more since their release, and I for one would love a Hellboy III!

I like David Harbour but Ron Perlman is Hellboy - they couldn't have cast that part any better.

As a longtime fan of the Hellboy comics, a friend who'd never read them watched this movie with me, and we both wholly hated it for separate reasons. It was like someone took a grab bag of various, disparate stories from the comics, shook them in a container, and poured out a "greatest hits" mess of plot points that had no business being mixed together. On top of that, the bizarre decision to make the ghostly version of Professor Bruttenholm look like a bizarrely fleshy, almost intestinal creature with gaunt makeup, caused him to almost seem like he was supposed to be an antagonist character, rather than the father figure in what was allegedly supposed to be a touching moment, but missed the mark by a mile

Obviously the title is a lie. But regardless, 2 things to actually love about this film any other Hellboy movie are: 1: An accurate depiction of Excalibur's story. And 2: The fact Hellboy never misses a shot

I did like Thomas Haden Church as Lobster Johnson

I was a massive fan of the original Hellboy movies and was super excited and learning that a new one was coming out. After watching the 2019 Hellboy, I found myself pretty disappointed every single scene in the movie just feels slightly off and I don't really know how to describe it other than that the acting is really strange and unnatural at times and the CGI looks cheap

The r rating wasn’t the problem at all. It was that whoever made this obviously wanted to make music videos and not a movie.

I'm interested to see the new take on Hellboy with the next reboot Especially with Mike Mignola at the helm Plus, I think Brian Taylor is a suitable choice for director, I really liked his work in MOM AND DAD I wonder if he was the real genius behind Neveldine/Taylor, because between the two, Taylor was the only one that managed to come at top after they split up

Hellboy remake was very uninteresting to me that I fell asleep the first 40 mins. I gave it a chance since my best friend loved it and watched it in theaters

never read the comics but i loved the movies growing up. I know the golden army wasnt the favorite but in still loved it and always wished for a third. no more than that though, a trilogy is fine.

3:52 Lawrence Gordon from Saw?

We need MORE R-Rated movies, come on bro…

I think it's crazy that they already shot *another* Hellboy movie so soon after the 2019 one.

Idgaf, I loved this 2019 Reboot of Hellboy and wished we got atleast one more piece of media with David Harbor’s Hellboy before they decided again to reboot Hellboy

regardless if how thus movie turned out, the idea of disliking the idea of an R-Rated hellboy is a little odd…

Geez Hollywood already rebooted barely 5 years later? Smh

That's definitely a production nightmare

On the track of movies that might not get a 3rd installment, that this video reminded me of. The Boondocks Saint's.

My biggest problem with the movie, besides an even more juvenile hellboy from the already tiring reverse dog years that del toro made up, is that it makes del toro's version addicts think only del toro and pearlman are the only ones that should ever make hellboy movies ever and that they need the third instead of letting a more faithful one with different stories with more horror folklore from the lore

I prefer del Toro and ron perlman's hellboy much more but I didn't hate the reboot. It's entertaining to me and I dig the creature designs still. I want hellboy 3 still more than almost any other movie sequel I could think of.

Back when this came out, I was still in high school, and I remember going with friends, but we had to purchase tickets for a Pixar film and sneak in because we weren’t 18 yet, was it worth it? Not really lol

I would love to see a third Original Hellboy movie.

The del Toro movies, especially the first one, felt more like the comic book honestly. But the R rating is fair, Hellboy is R rated wtf.

Poor Lobster Johnson got done dirty...🙄

Ben Daimio and Abe Sapien on screen would be great, the chemistry, it’ll be an inviting challenge for seasonal writers

Honestly David deseved better. Been thinking of doing a personal recut of the movie like getting rid of the music in sections where it doesnt fit and other stuff

I didn't even know they made another hell boy...

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! =)

At this point I'll be happy with a comic or novel conclusion of the Del Toro version

When I heard about an R-rated Hellboy movie, I knew it was just going to be a bloody mess shockfest and loaded with f-bombs... I didn't need that as a fan of Hellboy. Then I saw Harbours makeup... and I was off the train altogether.

Please do a video on why The Cleveland Show was cancelled

I know I watched this, But as Gandalf once said, "I have no memory of this place."

I never bothered to see the Hellboy reboot. After I saw that all the reviews were terrible after it was first released, I figured I had no reason to risk ruining the Del Toro films for myself. Those two are once in a lifetime movies, and I want to always think of them that way. Plus, literally everyone I know who’s seen the reboot says it’s awful anyway.

God, I hope The Crooked Man does well…whenever the hell it comes out

I really liked it. Too bad it flopped.

I don't mind not seeing Del Toro's Hellboy 3. I think Del Toro's lost the plot a bit with that god awful cabinet of curiosity series. But I would love to see Mike Mignola's Hellboy movie.

I think hell boy would make a good mini series personally

I thought it was alright but could have been better.

I've heard others say this one's alright, not bad, exactly, but I wouldn't know-I never saw it.

Am I the only one who didn’t mind the reboot.

Isn't "The Shape of Water" part of Hellboy's franchise?

why was the lead in biggest dark horse property allowed to work in Marvel?

Brilliant.

I like the look of Hellboy in this movie, but that was about it. Not enough to carry a movie.

Don’t think I ever cared about the rating and I actually thought Harbour was a great choice but the movie was just crap, kinda felt like they hadn’t really read any of the books despite the movie being heavily based off of the wild hunt

I will NEVER forgive those nimrod producers who decided not to make Hellboy 3.

They should have just brought back Del Toro to finish his trilogy

I respectfully disagree. If it was handled right and if the producers didn't get in the way, it could have been a great movie that also rated R. Hell-boy has got some very graphic moments in certain comics, stuff that would be considered very rated R. It can be done as long as it is handled right like anything in media.

I found it a fun watch when free

I think this film was fantastic!!!

I disagree with the title. I think we needed a rated R Hellboy. I loved it. IMO from a movie standpoint, not comic. The movie was fantastic and I wanted to see more. Way more than the first and 2nd movie.

What would happen if a facehugger got a hold of Riddick Was The offspring have the same Powers as a native of the planet furia like the eyeball shine Would it be called the Zeno furrion

The Golden Army is an Underrated Sequel that is much better than the original.

I didn't like this movie because it was smashing so many different Hellboy story lines together while also mangling all of them in some terrible way. That's not even considering the character assassination of Professor Bruttenholm, who was such a good father to Hellboy it's one of the big reasons he never became the herald of doom he was supposed to be. There's other bits, like throwing in a one shot from Hellboy in Mexico as the opener, Screwing up the tragic tale of Gruagach, the usual redhead removal with Alice Monaghan (because of course Hollywood would do this) a random and unnecessary inclusion of Lobster Johnson and the re-writing of Hellboys origin making the good professor seemingly want to eliminate Hellboy when they first met. It's just bad from the ground up.

I guess I’m one of the few that loved this movie. And my wife liked it too, so I don’t understand the universal hate.

I wouldn't care if it was R rated or not as long as it was a great story and had good actors. Ron Perlman nailed the part in the first two movies, the new guy was ok. I just didn't like the storyline of the movie. It jumped all over the place. Honestly can't remember much about the movie because it was bad. It's like Conan the barbarian I didn't want to see a remake I wanted to see king Conan the third movie. I wanted to see Hellboy's third movie.

Idc... I LOVE THIS FUNKY FLICK

The Del Toro films weren’t technically that good; they're definitely uneven in terms of writing, pacing, plot, but the set design, character and creature design, and the actors' portrayals of their characters were iconic. The new film was a boring, ultraviolent, schizophrenic, and dull; tired spectacle. Not sure how else to describe it. But the creatures were cool (though the were-jaguar was a major letdown, especially since I read the comics); the demon scene, though short, was amazing. What Hellboy needs is a multi series of films that captures the epic struggle against the Ogdru Jahad, Rasputin, the Black Flame, and the Frogs, which played out over hundreds of comics. But that's probably an impossible project for a film studio to tackle, so a nice, low-key, tightly plotted, unpretentious, gutsy film would be nice.

they should let Del Toro do the 3rd movie.

Seriously, a waste of money. 2 beautifully done movies for a remake that should have been in the bin before it was greenlit

They got an alt right dbag to direct it what did you expect

We also didn't need all that MCU style humor

I hope they never make Hellboy 3. It’s been 20 years, and Hollywood finds a way of messing up things like that
