I mean in all honesty it couldn't really differ that much could it. Hellboy: Played by David Harbour is fine and very similar (in my view) to Ron Perlman's performance. This angered Gruagach as he lost his chance to become a human, or something. Thing is Hellboy saw through this and managed to get the human baby back. Apparently Gruagach is Changeling, a baby fairy that is left in place of a human child which has been stolen by grown-up fairies, for some reason. Her assistant in this movie is a big humanoid rubbery looking warthog mutant character with a Mancunian accent, for some reason. It is this character that is played by the great actress Milla Jovovich, yeah. Only here she is known as the Blood Queen (in Blade-esque fashion) and is a baddie. The Main Villain: The main villain in this movie is Vivian Nimue, better known as the Lady in the Lake from the tales of King Arthur. 'Van Helsing' levels of CGI at this point. This then leads into a wrestling match sequence which is basically shit and again looks bad. Also the opening title sequence shows us a pretty poor looking Hellboy title. It's right here that you discover the CGI is not gonna be good in this movie. It just sounds like some bloke reading the paper. Not only does it look like a very poor attempt at the type of visuals '300' achieved, but the narration alongside it is also just terrible. The Opening: Yeah it's bad, really cheesy, really bad. Yet what was even more amusing (and hypocritical) was the fact that Kim is actually Korean, not Japanese, but he wasn't gonna let a silly thing like that ruin his chances (insert eye-roll emoticon here). Funnily enough the role went to one actor who I believe was actually involved in the online protests, Daniel Dae Kim (talk about low huh). Skrein eventually decided to quit the role in order to appease said Twitterati, a big mistake (or was it?). This led to online protests to get Skrein removed from the project.
Ed Skrein is of course a caucasian male which enraged and triggered the 'woke' Twitterati. Ed Skrein was originally cast as the character Ben Daimio, who in the original source material is Japanese-American. So let's delve into this reboot one part at a time. That's business acumen right there folks. This essentially going against what the majority of the fans wanted. Yep for some reason unbeknownst to themselves the powers that be thought it prudent to start all over again with this Mike Mignola universe instead of making the third movie in a del Toro trilogy. So we have yet another Hollywood reboot, correction, we have another pointless Hollywood reboot. Another major movie starring Milla Jovovich, another major flop.
