    I absolutely love Hellboy, and the hardcover library editions proudly share bookshelf space at my house with Lovecraft, Tolkien, Poe, Melville, Barker, Crowley, and Doyle. As far as I’m concerned, it totally deserves it’s place amongst such literary luminaries. Watching this video, I kept thinking- “If I was there, I’d wanna tuck one of those pictures under my arm and make a run for the door. But which one?” So, I decided that it would be easier to just grab Mignola, tuck HIM under my arm, and do the same thing! I guess we’re just lucky that I wasn’t there after all.

    I would love to see some before Del Toro movies/After Del Toro movies statistics on how much they increased the sales of Mignola's books. My guess would be it was a significant jump, kinda like what the Gaurdians/Galaxy did for their comic franchise, which was pretty much a cult/indie comic that was loved by it's fans but little known.

    Del Toro's version of hellboy wasn't good for the story, its scenario was too blockbuster-style, and did not match the deepness and subtlety of the comics. But the art was amazing and the second movie was very creative, at least he tried an original story, which was pretty good to me if you don't t think about the comics, and take it like something appart.
    Now, Hellboy 2019 was way too low budget for its ambitions, and the image treatment and art direction was TERRIBLY BAD. Even Hellboy's make up was an atrocity, seems it's gonna fall off his head during the all film... Also, they mixed up different storys form the comics, without any consideration of the logic of Mignola's timeline for the evolution of his saga and the character's developpement: that's taking some of the most important scenes of the comics and making them absurd and senseless.
    Del Toro's movies are bad adaptation but amazing pieces of art. The reboot is a bad adaptation AND a bad movie anyway.
    As for the Hellboy animated ones, they have a good atmosphere, but they are too shy and soft.
    Anyway, that's my opinion. I'm a big admirer of the Hellboy universe, especially the main saga which is very entertaining, very epic and has so much personnality and good writing. I think it's great material to adapt, but also quiet a challenge to really make it up to que comic's global quality. To me, the ideal thing would be a series, starting with hellboy's short adventures and making it bigger and bigger, following the comic's evolution. It would be good animated, or live but with enough budget and a really good artwork...
    Ok, I'm done.

    It is very sad that the reboot is so bad...would have been nice if the 3rd and final installment of Del Toro's trilogy had been done and then they could have moved on to someone else. What I would really like to see is a Baltimore film...that would be amazing.

    "Hopefully it stays true..."
    That's why the creator of something, like Mignola with Hellboy, should have an IRON GRIP on everything that have a connection to your work and you have a final saying on EVERYTHING. Otherwise it looses its origin. Like many movies nowadays.
    Just like the movie 'Saving Mr. Banks', the creator of Mary Poppins had an iron fist to make the character be true/canon.

      I also like the second more than the first, if only because it was a lot more "fantasy", I guess. I still love both of them, though, and I'm freaking hyped for the reboot. Heck, I decided to start reading the comics in my excitement for it. I ordered the first omnibus and it should be at my place tomorrow :)
