Hellboy (2019) is a dark fantasy action film directed by Neil Marshall, rebooting the Hellboy franchise. The movie follows Hellboy, a half-demon, as he navigates his existence between the human and supernatural worlds. Summoned to fight against an ancient evil sorceress, Nimue, who seeks to bring about the apocalypse, Hellboy grapples with his identity, his purpose, and his loyalty to humanity. Alongside his allies, including the human operative Alice and the gruff warrior, Ben Daimio, Hellboy embarks on a perilous journey to stop Nimue from resurrecting the creatures of darkness and destroying the world.

The film is marked by a darker tone and heavy violence, with more graphic imagery compared to the previous adaptations. Despite Hellboy’s internal struggles and personal doubts, the film explores themes of destiny, redemption, and the eternal battle between good and evil. Although Hellboy (2019) offers action-packed sequences and grotesque creatures, it received mixed reviews for its pacing and tone, with some feeling it lacked the charm of its predecessors.
