This is clearly an extremely gross underestimation. This film is indeed popcorn, but in the popcorn route, it's a rare high-end.
First of all, the logic of the story line is basically self-consistent, and there are no bridges that are really stupid. I'm going to say it hard, most of Marvel's early superhero storylines were elementary school level. For example, Thor, the old-fashioned growth (learning to be responsible) story, has no creativity, and half of the plot is wasted on gags and girls. However, although the main plot of Hellboy can't be said to be very profound, it is both good and evil, and it is more three-dimensional. Under the blessing of the awesome art, the actual effect is quite good.
The core of the main literary drama of this story is the prince's contempt for the empty desires of human beings. This point of view not only foreshadows the sequel, but also brings depth. Of course, as a fast-paced popcorn film, it is not too delicate to describe literary dramas, but the frame is no problem.
The best part of this play is the scene and the art design. The whole play incorporates the best dark fairy tale fantasy I've seen so far, and the powerful visual aesthetic can directly convey a lot of information. It is precisely because the beauty of nature and the beauty of those monsters of "one of the kind" are directly felt that the maliciousness of human beings towards them is set off very hateful. When the audience can naturally stand on the side of the villain and accept their ideas, the play can be said to be more than half successful.
To put it aside, Hellboy itself has a more three-dimensional theme that can be explored. A bad person is raised as a good person, which already implies self-identity disorder, what a person is, and why people become themselves, these can be very profound themes. Sure enough, what appeared in this episode is the background of "being feared because of being different, and thus being rejected". Who can say that the boss's cry to the male protagonist before his death is not true? Putting aside the environmental protection banner, what has been repeatedly mentioned in essence is: Can two groups of people with different cultural backgrounds finally be able to live together peacefully? Ok. . . I don't know in the movie, but in reality, how many years has the Israeli-Palestinian conflict been? Isn't it just different people who can't tolerate each other? So this topic is totally promising in a practical sense. Looking back at Team America, if it weren't for the Russell brothers, there would be nothing interesting and worth discussing about the extremely positive background of Team America. . .
