Absolutely atrocious. It's like an alternate universe where the Spawn movie was successful and the same people rushed a Hellboy movie into production with not enough budget or time to do it properly. A script that keeps telling the characters and the viewer stuff they already know, with endless character origin flashbacks, heavily signposted twists, nonsensical motivations, inconsistencies and contradictions, a meandering structure full of dead-ends, and dialogue written by a 14 year old who's only ever watched Shane Black movies. Bad effects. Weird ADR covering up lack of coverage. Sasha Lane and Daniel Dae Kim both scuppered by having to do (bad) English accents.
It is incredibly frustrating that a Del Toro Hellboy III was deemed to risky, but this crap was pushed out to do all the same stuff again but worse and be immediately forgotten (despite, hilariously, having three separate sequel set-ups in a row at the end).
Rating: Awful
