Hellboy Review


Ever wonder why fans are hesitant towards reboots? Look no further than this new Hellboy. Going against everything that the original films stood for. This a film that wants to be Deadpool. Who needs a coherent story when you have a different head coming off every 2 minutes? Who needs mythology when you can make a character say fuck? Swearing is more important than good dialogue. Hellboy was one of my childhood heroes.. The first two films still hold up a genuinely great films. If i was a kid now watching this i would get as much entertainment from banging my head against a wall. The 2004 Hellboy was a passion project by a man who cared about making this character iconic. The 2019 Hellboy is a marketing experiment by a studio who are seeking to scrape whatever money they can from a movie that no one believes in. Take me back to 2004.

I just read your Venom review, after clicking on this link.

Please remind me, what is the WTF scene you refer to in the review?

reply

If i remember right its when Eddie starts making out with venom.

reply

He does?

I don't remember that.

reply

He did.

reply

When does this happen during the film?

Can you remind me of the scene?

reply

Did you even watch the movie? It's one of the most memorable (and the hottest) scene of the movie.

He makes out with his girlfriend who has been taken over by the symbiote, but I wouldn't say he was having sex with Venom per se.

reply

If the symbiote is on her, then she is Venom.

reply

Agree to disagree.

He was making out with his girlfriend. Not Venom.

reply

Well then he's still Eddie when it's on him. But why isnt he behaving normally?

reply

He's part Eddie/part symbiote. He isn't all symbiote.

reply

Yes, and when someone is part symbiote, they are Venom. Same as The Mask, or a mantle like Batman.

reply

The Mask and Batman are personas.

reply

Maybe Green Lantern would be a better mantle example. Or Spider Man.

Others have been Batman but those may not be official canon stories.

reply

True. There are many versions of Venom story, but in this movie intepretation, it's Venom. Remember when they introduce themselves, they say, "we are Venom."

Granted the one Eddie make out with is a female Venom. So he's not gay. Not that anything is wrong with it.

Don't worry about Malkovi, he's just a contrarian. Disagreeing with anything and everyone is a normal phase in a teenager's life.

reply

Very true, but its still good practice.

I need it too, my Mom is the ultimate contrarian. I once accidentally made her disagree with her own standards by proposing them as though they were my own.

reply

Looks like a fun movie thanks for the review!
