With there being too much time out from the production of the last movie, no involvement of Del Toro, and the growing age of most of the principal actors involved with the previous two films, it seemed that either a reboot or a non-related movie would be something that they were forced to do. Most would have loved to have seen the cliffhanger at the end of the second Del Toro movie get revisited – seeing Hellboy be a father would have been a really interesting plot point. I mean, sure, everyone wanted the third Guillermo Del Toro and Ron Pearlman film, and anything short of that was destined for disaster. It was as if Neil Marshall, the director, had walked into some of these fan’s houses and personally shot their dog prior to the film’s release. I remember when the movie came out, and people seemed to be absolutely furious for no reason.

For some reason, I never got around to watching the 2019 Hellboy movie, which was something that I decided to rectify this past weekend.
