Hellboy 2019 [Movie Review]
When I saw that Hellboy was airing, I immediately bought the ticket as I am intrigued as I was not aware that there is the 3rd live-action of Hellboy.
And I don't remember seeing the trailer/ promo video in the cinema too.

- This film adapts the England-set Hellboy stories "The Wild Hunt" and "The Storm and the Fury", where Nimue becomes the Queen of Blood and Hellboy in his battle with her brings about the apocalypse.
The movie starts with a backstory of the demise of Nimue by Merlin and King Arthur. With her limbs being torn to pieces and each part kept in different caskets, Nimue, The Blood Queen vows that she will one day come when she will back to inflict vengeance on the world.
In modern days, Hellboy was given the task to ascertain the whereabouts of Ruiz, who is missing after being sent to investigate a vampire's lair in Mexico. He accidentally killed Ruiz during their wrestle in a ring fight.
Devastated, he drinks his sorrow away. Then his father sends him to assist in a giant's hunt in London where the group suddenly turn their backs and tries to kill Hellboy instead, as they believe that Hellboy will be the end of the world. Hellboy manages to survive the attack and have to kill the giants too.
He fainted due to loss of blood and Alice, his long lost acquaintance, saves him. Alice is a psychic that interacts with the souls of the dead ones. When his father tells him that the current attacks on churches and abysses are related to the release of Nimue, Hellboy are send to hunt for her together with Alice and Ben, a soldier that will turn into jaguar when angered.
During one of their hunts, Hellboy sees the vision of Nimue who tells him that together they can build a world where they are not being feared by everyone. Intrigued by the idea of such world, Hellboy seems to be distracted and at times a bit unwilling to commit to their cause ie to kill Nimue.
Who will Hellboy choose - the world that fears him or rule together with Nimue and kills everyone that opposes them?
MY REVIEW
Plot: 3.0/ 5.0 I was a bit confused with all the new characters in this one. So many new characters that were not from the first two movies. The storyline is simple - Nimue gets assembled and tries her best to overrule the world. Hellboy will try to stop her, while at the same time intrigued by the idea of a world where he can live freely. At times, the movie became a bit heavy and draggy but overall, it was just ok.
Cast: 3.2/ 5.0 Not the best of a cast but when I see Milla as Nimue, the Blood Queen, I rejoice! Others are just ok. And it seems that Hellboy is a bit stiff moving his right hand.
Will I watch it again: Not in the cinema, I will watch it, whenever I want to watch Milla again.
