Hellboy (2019) Trailer, My Thoughts

Hellboy. Created by Mike Mignola, he first appeared in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 (August 1993). The eponymous character was a half-demon named Anung Un Rama who was summoned to Earth as a child during WWII by Nazi occultists. However, he would become a defender of Earth against supernatural forces alongside the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.).

The character has become quite popular over the last 25 years, appearing in numerous comics, animation, video games (He was a guest fighter in Injustice 2), and films. Yup, live-action movies. Hellboy appeared in two live-action films in 2004 and 2008, both directed by Guillermo Del Toro and starring Ron Perlman in the title role. I love those movies, they are so good.

Well, a reboot has been announced in the works, with David Harbour taking up the big red Right Hand of Doom, and here's the trailer for it!

Hey, Billy Idol! Awesome!

Yeah, I don't think you need to ask for ID from a big red demon, lady. He's pretty distinctive.

...does Hellboy have to play King Arthur here? You know, get the sword out of the stone?

You'd think the BPRD would tell the cops, "Hey, we got a guy to handle this. Just keep in mind he's big and red, please don't shoot him."

I hope that place is a legit fish and chip shop. You can grab a snack on the way to the meeting. That's always convenient.

Well, to be fair, a red demon with a big gun and equally big right hand can be scary at first glance.

Join the BPRD! Free equestrian lessons!

The hand also unlocks the end of the world. No biggie.

HELLBOY VS. WINGED MONSTER AT WRESTLEMANIA! BOOK IT, VINCE!

OW. THAT WILL HURT.

Milla Jovovich as a villain, huh? That'll be interesting.

Ohhhhh, Hellboy's gone full demon. Aw, Hell...

I know are people are complaining about it, but yeah, people like to complain. Honestly, I'll give this a fair shot. I liked the original films, so I hope this new film is good.
