Hellboy is back and he’s got a dirty mouth and a
man bun.
The third film in the comic adaptation franchise
has a new director, a new writer and a new look
— led by a swashbuckling hellion who uses
expletives and wears one of the most ridiculed
hair styles in decades.
“Hellboy ” is a reboot of artist and writer Mike
Mignola’s fantasy world that rather rudely
brushes aside the first two films as if they never
existed. It’s like your new girlfriend blithely
tossing out all the accumulated stuff in your
medicine cabinet. It even ignores in its title that
we’ve already had a “Hellboy.”
Out is director Guillermo del Toro, a monster
maker of epic proportions. Out is the original
Hellboy, Ron Perlman. Out is the PG-13 rating.
