Hellboy

« Faute de goût aussi en finale alors qu'on a droit à un risible mélo larmoyant père-fils et à un segment en clin d'oeil à l'histoire originale qui annonce une possible suite. »

« Au coeur de ce tsunami de mauvais goût, David Harbour s'acquitte généralement bien de sa tâche, sans toutefois parvenir à égaler l'interprétation de Ron Perlman, dont le Hellboy apparaît encore plus définitif aujourd'hui. »

« After an overlong two-hour running time, "Hellboy" suggests optimistically that it's the start of its own franchise, but it will probably end up stuck in purgatory instead. »

« Neil Marshall's take is scruffier than Guillermo del Toro's,, sprawling out into multiple horror sub-genres -- and that's a good thing. »

« So, Hellboy's a mess. »

« David Harbour makes the role of Hellboy his own, but instead of building on Guillermo del Toro's films this too-soon reboot is just a creature bash. »

« The comic-book demon antihero returns, complete with ultraviolent set pieces, CGI slugfests and a nagging sense that you've been duped. »

« Saving Hellboy as a big-screen franchise is something else entirely. »

« Even by that barometer, this is a pretty disastrous reboot and as bad as something like last fall's ROBIN HOOD. »

« It's essentially a mix of flashbacks, side adventures, and in-universe prophecy cobbled together as a movie that isn't downright bad, but also definitely isn't good. »
