If Neil Marshall’s 2019 Hellboy had you seeing red, then this rendition by director/co-writer Brian Taylor (Crank, Mom and Dad, Brave New World) will come as something of a relief. It’s the closest big-screen version yet to Dark Horse Comics’ shorn-horn superhero – creator Mike Mignola had a sizeable hand (ahem) in penning the screenplay – and favours gruff ‘n’ rough over the poetry of Guillermo del Toro’s lovingly crafted noughties movies (2004’s Hellboy, 2008’s Hellboy: The Golden Army).

I dunno, there’s something about Jack Kesy’s Hellboy that just looks off. His face is too thin, maybe?

The problem will always be that Ron Perlman was born for the role.
