20 Worst Movies Of 2019

A lot of people out there had high hopes for this one. David Harbour, making his big break late in life after Stranger Things, seemed an inspired casting as the demon, while R-Rated superhero hero movies have seen mainstream success in recent years.

However, despite showing some promising signs, Hellboy did not deliver. As the trailer so desperately tried to warn us, the dialogue was cringe inducing throughout. It seemed to be written by someone who was vaguely aware of what a comic book was, and wrote the sort of trash one liners they expected to be in there. They didn’t seem to have gone as far as to actually read a comic book though, let alone a Hellboy one.

This new version of Hellboy is incredibly noisy, with no variation. The pacing is cranked up so high that the plot strands, already threadbare with holes the weight of the nonsense dropped upon them, snap at every opportunity. It’s just characters doing things which were designed to look cool but rarely do, while saying things that sound nothing like human speech.
