Keaton's Great, Everything Else Not So Much
Asian female police detective is smart and capable while all men around her are morons who she talks down to. She shames a fellow officer for using the term 'guy' instead of inclusive pronouns. Hollywood just can't write actual good female characters. She is the typical woke version, snarky, nasty and just unlikable. The pedophile is of course a nazi white supremacist. In fact pretty much all the police officer characters are pretty badly written and badly acted. The story is well done and directed and all the scenes outside the police are well acted. It's a shame this is brought down by DEI and woke casting. It's still worth watching once in
my opinion.

But Why?.......Just Why?
No woke. A straight up remake of the 2008 movie. Why? What's the point. The acting is ok but the main couple aren't very likable
There are no real scares though, and only a couple of kills that are very tame and no gore or shocking moments. This could of almost
had a PG-13 rating other than a little blood and some language. The main characters continue to do stupid things over and over. The villains are supposed to just be people but seem to have magic powers of some sort as they always know exactly where everyone is at all times and are able to just teleport behind people. In the middle of the forest,
in open areas, without making a sound. Teleporting villains is a major sign of bad, lazy writing.

Overlong Bloated Mess
Every single white person in this movie is a greedy, murdering P.O.S. just out to take advantage of the natives. We are actually told at one point while watching a train full of white people walking through the station that it is 'a sea of evil'. All natives are noble, smart, good people. The acting while mostly good does have a few bad spots. The big problem is it's an overlong, bloated mess of a movie that is just boring as hell in its
preachy racist anti white story. This could have easily been edited down to a 2 hr movie and lost nothing.

The usual Nolan
Nolan movie, so, out-of-order narration, gorgeous cinematography, impeccable acting.
No spoilers, but this movie follows scrupulously the outline a a magic trick as exposed in the opening sequence, ie: the Pledge, the Turn and finally the Prestige, all the while using common magic ploys, mostly misdirection. Because magic has to appear mundane before it turns extraordinary. The Pledge. The Turn.
And as in any good trick, the method is obvious, if one doesn't look at the flourishes. But where would the fun in that be?
Are the final twists creative or unexpectable? No. Because magic loses its magic once the trick is known. The ending would have rocked my socks as a kid in an '80s novel. Not anymore.
Is it a brilliant movie? Yes. The Turn is fantastically crafted.
And it has David Bowie.

Better than Stallone!
Stallone's Dredd was a confused and confusing mess.
This one is a streamlined action flick that still manages to do the characters justice.
The main actors inhabit their respective characters quite well to my taste, even though I still think Urban comes off a little too much as a nice guy to really play a tough guy. Still quite a good Dredd.
Most surprisingly of all, considering the subject matter, the movie avoids any form of current political commentary, which is a good thing.

Failed its saving throw
Atrocious. At least, not woke.
Instead, it tries far too hard to be modern, speak to a young urban audience, and thus loses any epic scale it might have aimed for, considering.
Also, the director probably failed to save against paralysis, and most actors against spells. Feeblemind, presumably.
Ah well, at least there's still the visuals. Except nope, horrendous.
Feed this one the a gelatinous cube.

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?

Same as #1: pretty and shallow
Same opinion as for the first movie: visually ambitious, lacks the depth of the original comics, but still entertaining, and Perlman is a miss, sadly in the titular role.

Visually interesting, but not quite up to the comics
The movie nails Mignola's visuals rather accurately, although Del Toro's influence is unmistakably there.
The actors do a good job with their respective characters.
All this, except for Hellboy. Which can be construed as an issue in a movie named Hellboy.
In my opinion, Perlman misses the character by a country mile. His HB comes off as arrogant, big-mouthed and immature. Which is to say, Perlman probably shines through the makeup. Said makeup being vaguely adequate only.
All in all, a rather fun action romp, but lacking the substance of the comics.

More 'Dumb' Zoomer Comedy
Some DEI casting and some feminist nonsense. The majority of astronauts throught history have been men but here it seems most of
the candidates are female. I only made it about 40 minutes and that was enough. The acting is fine and all, Roberts is a good enough actor and capable of doing comedy but this is just not good. It's another one of those 'stupid' comedies except it's just not funny and entirely too stupid and implausible. Dumb comedy works when done right and has been around for ever-Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello all made successful careers out of it. Even more recently Adam Sandler and the SNL people built empires around it but it seems like modern writers just can't pull it off.

A Step Down From The First
Canadian made movie with a large amount of DEI. Media good, police corrupt and bad. The little girl is a bit of a Mary Sue and an annoying girl boss type attitude. Also her acting is very bad, no emotional range, no facial expressions, just blank monotone line delivery.
The story is a decent continuation of the first one but despite having 4 times the budget this one actually feels more low budget
than the first. Very disappointing as I actually enjoyed the original.

SyFy Channel Quality
Massive amount of DEI casting in a 5% black France. Lesbian characters. This is typical feminist garbage, where all positions of power are held by females and most main characters are female, and superior to the males. There is virtually no white male characters anywhere to be seen in the entire movie other than a few background ones. The makers of this movie seem to think France is entirely populated with women and minorities. Also not woke but politically motivate is the very preachy environmentalist propaganda. The acting is mostly bad, the CG is cheap and poorly done, the writing and story is unrealistic nonsensical trash. All the characters are just stupid people doing stupid things. This would be right at home on SyFy channel.
