8. Hellboy

Although fans of the original Hellboy movies were disappointed not to see Ron Perlman reprise his role as the demonic hero, the fact that Stranger Things’ David Harbour would be taking on the role meant the new one was extremely highly-anticipated.

Sadly, however, it wasn’t as good as people hoped it would be – but we do feel like it got some treatment that was harsher than necessary from certain critics.

It was R-rated, unlike the Perlman movies, which was perfect as far as the no-nonsense titular character was concerned – but something wasn’t right.

It was described as soulless and bereft of the imagination and creativity of the previous movies.

In particular, criticism was aimed at the story, the dialogue, the computerised special effects, the inconsistent tone and the excessive gore, but the make-up effects and Harbour’s performance were all praised – and, frankly, the latter undoubtedly made the movie worth watching.

The gritty star was fantastic and he certainly deserved better than the script and plot he was given to work with. We just hope he gets given another chance to star as the character in a sequel that strikes a chord with more fans in the future.
