Sally Barros - WB

A movie I stumbled across years after its release and hit play for no real reason other than the cast. I am spellbound by this movie and the song will stay with me forever. Really a very unique story.

Sometimes you stumble on a movie and press play for no real reason and are taken on the most perfect journey. I don’t understand why I never heard of this movie before I watched it. It’s really something special. It’s quite fast paced and just long enough to make for a satisfying watch. I really cannot recommend it enough.

The Del Toro Hellboy collection are two of my favorite movies, the gentle combination of horror and sc-fi creatures that are truly breathtaking, mixed with a great story and plenty of action and humor make the original 2 something very special. I was dissapointed to see the 2019 was under a new director and cast but I was willing to give it a try. From the opening scene I was bombarded at breakneck speed by a plot I could hardly keep up with and cringeworthy Gore. If any of the CGI creatures had kept still long enough for me to get a look at them, I may have been able to appreciate them as I did Del Toros but alas like the story line they were gone in the blink of an eye. I found the acting simply painful and I love Ian McShane but all I did throughout the movie was wonder how he ended up in such a deplorable movie. I hope whoever decided to go with this director and cast apologize to Mignola, Del Toro and Perlman for ruining a creatively beautiful legacy, which was too recent to even warrant a remake.
