Superhero films are not as big as they once were, with the latest Marvel, Captain America: Brave New World trying to overcome the cash register Antman and Wasp: QuantumaniaBut even then, the fall of Hellboy, from the large Guillermo del Toro production to the thoughtful throwing on Hulu, is stunning. Still, Hellboy: The Crooked ManThe fourth film in the series, who plays the third actor Jack Kdyy to describe a demonic good guy, made his debut as film number one on Hulu. It is the most direct adaptation of Mika Mignola comic and even a low budget with cheap effects cannot maintain a good story.

Another type of demon

Hellboy: The Crooked Man is not an adventure with a globe like other films in the lead role of Ron Perlman and David HarborInstead, it is set in the forests of Appalachia in a small town full of witches and persecuted by a dark presence. Hellboy And Rookie BPRD Bobbie Jo Song (Adeline Rudolph), a character that is not in the original graphic novel, wrapped with Tom (Jefferson White) a soldier who returns home to face Crooked Man (Martin Bassandale) and accept his witch’s former girlfriend. This explains that the demonic entity provides energy at a steep price, and although it is a younger version of the hero, because the film is set in 1959, the BPRD agent knows about contracts with demons.

The local Witch Coven, the disciples of the crooked man, are involved, while the venerable Nathaniel Watts (Joseph Marcell) gives his blessings to good people. As with any good story Hellboy, Crooked Man The peak in the last battle in the crumbling Gothic structure as a threat to real and imaginable heroes. It is a satisfactory, relatively accurate story that pleased most of the fans of the original series, but by no means perfect.

No budget, no problem

Right from the opening scene on board the train you can say that Hellboy: The Crooked Man It will not be almost as visually interesting as two Del Toro films. Everything looks washed out and if you didn’t know better, you would think it was mid 2000 Syphion Original film. To say that the film is transmitted by the power of a dialogue, whose parts are the word for the word from Mignoly’s comic, is an underestimation, and that is before the crooked man himself.

Martin Bassindale plays a monster of folklore with the right amount of scary, highlighted bone sounds cracking and modified whenever it moves, but it is difficult to imagine how much better would look like something that would be borne by the film. Shots on Cheap Director Brian Taylor (Director Handle, Playerand the creator of the detective series Bonkers, Happy), Hellboy: The Crooked Man It has the appearance and impression of a film of fans, the best possible way, and was obviously the work of love for source material and not an attempt at another blockbuster. Was predetermined to be streaming Hit, and fortunately for BPRD fans, that’s exactly what it is today.

Not only is Hellboy: The Crooked Man Evidence that the superhero film reduced back can work if the expectations are kept under control is also a love letter to an extraordinary supernatural gothic comic, which has never reached the mainstream. The film has more in common with Evil Before it does Doctor Strange and Multiverse of MadnessBut thanks to all who give it, it is one of the best films Hul, and if the streaming numbers impress the right people, there is a chance that it could even restart a sleeping franchise.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man Now he streams on Hulu.
