First trailer of new Hellboy

Looks good, I guess. The trailer was a little too much though.

Trailer looks interesting. Just too much of hair.  

And I think it's just appropriate to have a new thread for this. So I'll just repost my post including @TehPW's announcement of the new movie from the previous Hellboy thread:

Visually ok, but the trailer was all over the place. I would appreciate less silly comic book humor and more of the drama that was a cornerstone of the comic. Still, I see Leni Riefenstahl in the list of characters, so bring in the Nazis! Oh, and Lobster Johnson is in there, too.

Not feeling it yet. Maybe it's too soon since Golden Army, but seeing this new Hellboy was a little jarring. I kept expecting to see Ron Perlman's version. Plus, I just really wish they would carry on from what had already been made rather than do another reboot.

I still have the feeling about this movie.

He set in between the fisrt and second.

Aside from Continental, Winston is also running the B.P.R.D.? And Alice becomes the Blood Queen? 

By the way, I like the trailer.

Except for that part at the beginning where he nearly gets shot - and the over-reaction - I'm liking the trailer more now. This might be a theater-must-see...

He’s way uglier, but this looks like a lot of fun.

If only the older Hellboy could have had the budget this one appears to have, and an R rating.

I can only imagine the fun DelTorro would've had with a bigger budget and R-rating...

 

but this looks fun too!

I was hearing this one has a lower budget than the last film. I think it’s the amount of makeup effects in the old ones vs cgi of the new one. Those characters in th golden army took an army to make.

All the reviews for this movie are really bad, a pity since my wife and I were both looking forward to it.

Yikes. IGN gave it a 4.0.

I already preordered tickets for this weekend, but now all the reviews are terrible. I used some free tickets so I won’t be losing money. I’m just hoping I’m not gonna be wasting my time.

[Old_Nash]

So...Someone watchs the movie?
Or RT was right?

It’s not bad, but it ain’t great. It’s dumb fun with a bad story so overall I’d say see it if you’re a fan and if not don’t.

[mechaninac]

Hellboy fans wanted a continuation/resolution to Giullermo Del Toro's version, preferably with the same cast... the final act of a trilogy.  But no, in their infinite wisdom they decided to heck with that noise -- what do the fans know anyhow?..  Just give'em something and they'll eat it up -- and reboot the franchise.  Is it any wonder this thing is tanking hard?

[Dynaman]

To be fair the fans weren't buying enough tickets to keep the original cast going.  The take on this movie may bring the old band back together again though.

[Big s]

I hope you’re correct, this one just makes you wish it was the old cast and crew finishing things up. The new ones budget shows it’s limitations in both visuals and writing.
