A horrific reboot

A rushed story..no character development and an ending that was about as exciting as watching paint dry,whoever authorised this reboot should never be allowed to work in the movie industry again.

Hellboy will always be Ron Perlman with Guillermo del Toro directing the way.How hellboy creator Mike Mignola gave the ok to this reboot is beyond comprehension.

Who knew Pan's Labyrinth had a companion film?

Early film from Guillermo del Toro is similar to Pan's Labyrinth in a lot of ways. In watching an interview after viewing the film, del Toro actually says this is a companion film since they have a lot of the same themes and cinematic elements most notably a child being introduced to a foreign hostile environment and the element of the supernatural influencing the actions of other characters.

I can see how others might complain about the slow pacing of certain scenes or the noticeable subplots that don't all have conclusions, but I guess those didn't bother me as I was engaged in the story. The kids eventually learn of the existence of the "ghost" in the basement and try and figure out its motives and reason for existence.

I enjoyed the look of the film immensely and thought all the acting was solid. The film had a haunting soundtrack which supplemented the spooky scenes very well.

I could even see some scenes which could've been out of The Shape of Water as del Toro's films all seem to have the director's signature look which isn't a complaint; only an observation.

I enjoyed it a lot.
