very dark, very gorgeous, very cool,

Under the domestic film censorship system, "Hellboy" was inexplicably replaced by "Flame Man". It seems that without adding the word "Man", it cannot be compared with "Spider-Man", "Batman", "Green Hornet" "," Daredevil " and other movies born out of comics form an echo.

Although it is also a branch of superhero comics, "The Golden Legion" is very different from other comics and film predecessors. Spider-Man hangs down from the spider web of the comics, jumping between cities, the blind lawyer Daredevil doesn't sleep well at night, roaming the building like a sleepwalker, the Hulk is even more unwilling to be lonely, wearing The purple shorts screamed furiously with tanks and planes, but their essence was the image of a pure American police officer, upholding justice, repairing the evil, and finally turning the tide and saving the earth.

In addition to these orthodox comic hero movies, there are other abnormal hero images, whose purpose is to subvert our poisoned mindset and provide some other strange imaginations.

Although "The Golden Legion" cannot provide a thorough deconstruction like "Shrek", it is at least somewhat like "Superman"'s teasing of "Superman" and "Dragonfly"'s parody of genetic mutant Superman , with a little humorous plot and realistic monster design to capture people's desire to watch movies.

And it also has its own golden mean: arrange a good love for the hero as usual, destroy the deadly villain as usual, and save all mankind. Moreover, the movie also added a lot of these heroes' lives, feelings, troubles and so on. For example, the conflict between the husband and wife of Flame Man and the Fire Girl, the hazy interracial love between the fish and the princess... It is very humane.

In order to make me more comfortable, I still want to call "Flame Man" "Hellboy", which can make him appear darker. Indeed, as the son of the devil Satan abandoned in the world, Hellboy has a terrible dark The mysterious origin of the man is very likely to hide the mystery of destroying human beings, almost like Naruto in "Naruto", like a time bomb.

This reminds me of a previous "Rebirth" Simon, who is also an anti-hero image, but Simon before the rebirth is a human, and his human element is doomed to his heroic image, while the Hellboy in "Flame" , like Sun Wukong jumping out of a stone, belongs to non-human beings. Such a background determines that there will be some weird suspense in the "Hellboy" series of movies.

If there is a sequel, I am willing to continue to look forward to it.

    Much better than Part 1. Anti-Prince No. 1 is the highest. Humans have become narcissistic enough to let other races commit suicide to save themselves, but don't care too much about the plot of entertainment films

    Are you sure it's 70 and not 700 or more? That goblin can even make such a perverted thing, and will he be interested in a useless spearhead of the prince? The prince has personally experienced the war between ancient times and humans, and witnessed the army being sealed. In the end, he had to rely on the map to find the sealed place! I would say that the goblin can actually make another crown, just like with the same key! There are not enough words, so don't complain.
