Entertaining, but lacks pacing
Gorier (more gory?) than the previous installments.
This movie tackles the (even) more serious and grim part of Hellboy's story, and proves adequate but tepid. It especially lacks any real buildup. Coming a good decade after Hellboy II, it has to go through summary character establishment all over again, which wastes runtime while leaving its heroes shallow.
Sign of the times: Alice, an Irish redhead, is suddenly mixed-race, and gets her girlboss moment in the post-climax scene. Nothing against the actress herself, she manages a decent enough London accent for a Texas girl, but she's an obvious quota cast.
Nothing too bad, but, if it doesn't change anything, why change it then?
