Hollywood Avalon, Episode 28 – Hellboy (2019)

Hellboy, a red demon guy with very abs, is around some horses. Sorry, he's not as hot as Ron Perlman.

We’re subjected to a reboot of the Hellboy franchise, which amps up the Arthurian content–Hellboy doesn’t just battle a reanimated Vivian/Nimue, the sorceress who traditionally imprisoned Merlin, but it turns out Hellboy is descended of King Arthur and the only person who can wield Excalibur. But if Hellboy does so, he might give over to his demonic nature and initiate the apocalypse. 

Sounds pretty cool, right? Well, this movie absolutely sucks. Just a real turd. Flat, dull, and incoherent. So much wasted potential.

Starring David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, and Daniel Dae Kim . Written by Andrew Cosby. Directed by Neil Marshall.
