He comes from hell

I always thought that HELLBOY was a work from MARVEL, but it turned out not to be the case. The original comic is published by DARK HORSE COMICS, and the original author is Mike Mignola. I have always had a misunderstanding. I think that the most popular comic-based films are the works of MARVEL. It turns out that there are other big players in the American comics market besides this one. Of course, there are also some independent publishing houses that can support a series of works. movie.

In fact, when I watched it, I felt that its style was different from the MARVEL work I had seen. First of all, of course, there is no big MARVEL watermark at the beginning of the film. This big brother is really afraid that others will not know that it is his own adaptation. The second is the movie type. Most of MARVEL's works are science fiction, and many of the story connotations are related to scientific capabilities, such as radiation and the universe. But HELLBOY is a magical type, and the background of the story is mostly derived from horror and magical legends around the world, and therefore there will be "hell".

But it doesn't make much sense to say more about these differences. The comics and the movies are the most real. The story is about the growth of a boy. Even if the boy is from hell, he is more than 60 years old, with red skin, imbalance between his left and right hands, and a long face, but he is still a child, a child who needs love and a lover. The movie is indeed very successful in shaping HELLBOY. You will see a more human hell boy, not just playing cool in front of the camera. Heroes will be jealous, even if this hero is not handsome or even a little ugly, but the only thing they have is strong, and they are stronger than your green giant.

There is also that Nazi officer, who is simply a perverted masochist who has collected my thousands of loves. The upper and lower lips are cut, the eyelids are cut, the body is supported by gears and sand, and a key is inserted into the body, put on tight-fitting military uniforms and a leather mask, and completely concentrated on the Nazi brutal violence. Body. It is a pity that such personality characters can only be reduced to big helpers, sighing and sighing.

I just watched "Midnight Field" talk about director HELLBOY about this series. It reminded one thing that the big monster at the end came really abruptly. In fact, there are still a lot of foreshadowings left in the characters to be solved one by one in the future, such as why the monster parasitizes others, who is HELLBOY, what is recorded in the apocalypse, and what is the key to destroying the world. Afterwards, they will be solved one by one, and the director also hinted that in the third part in the future, the mystery buried in the first two parts will be solved.

    I still like this comic-based movie. Although it removes the skillful shooting skills, fancy cg special effects and constant American black jokes, it still has a more conventional plot and mode in its bones, but the entertainment is indeed not bad.

    I fell asleep watching this movie. Indeed, the theme and creativity of the film are pretty good, and the character and image of Hellboy are somewhat similar to Wolverine. The whole film feels a bit calm, not much excitement. The last easter egg was a bit similar to the Pacific Rim, and then I was desperate and very unhappy.
