David Harbour is Hellboy! First look!

Earlier this year it was announced that Lionsgate would be doing a Hellboy reboot, with actor David Harbour (Stranger Things, The Equalizer) taking on the titular role of Hellboy. And today we now have our first look at Harbour in the role, courtesy of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. And he looks pretty good! 

Harbour definitely looks intimidating as Hellboy, with the muscle, the stern look and the arm. Key differences from Ron Perlman's (Driver, Pacific Rim) take on the character is definitely the long hair, the shaved horns are positioned higher on his forehead and the rock arm has more of a metallic look to it. So it's enough to give Hellboy a different look without making him unrecognisable. 

There are a couple of things I'm a bit disappointed with. I was hoping he would the blank, glowing yellow eyes that he has in the comics. I also don't really know how I feel about the long hair hanging down. I think a man-bun might have looked better. But these are just little things that don't really bring down the whole thing. It still looks pretty awesome!

Overall, I really like the new Hellboy design and I'm quite excited for the film when it comes out. I believe David Harbour is gonna do really well in the role!

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: Review (SPOILERS!)

Straight off the heels of the colossal success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens Disney brings audiences Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Directed by Gareth Edwards). Focusing on the rebellion in the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Taking place between Episodes 3 and 4 the story follows Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and a group of rebels in their mission to steal the plans of the Empire's new superweapon, the Death Star! Overall, this was a fantastic film. From the acting to the effects to the script. It was one of the best cinema-going experiences I've ever had, even surpassing The Force Awakens in terms of quality in storytelling and direction. That being said, there were certain flaws with this film that did hold it back just a bit, but these were simple nitpicks that don't really take away a lot from the film's brilliance. 1. Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso Taking centre stage this time around is Felicity Jones, who plays Rebel Jyn Erso. Going into the film I did...

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Review (No Spoilers)

The final episode in the sequel trilogy, and the overall Skywalker Saga, is finally out! Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019, J.J Abrams) will hopefully answer the questions that have been set up since the beginning of this trilogy in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015, J.J Abrams) . But due to fans being displeased with this new trilogy, such as the highly negative response from fans after the previous instalment Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017, Rian Johnson)  and with the latest anthology movie Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018, Ron Howard) being a financial disaster, can this movie live up to the success of its predecessors and redeem the franchise in the eyes of fans? First Thoughts This movie is good, I liked it as a movie. The action's good, the visuals are great and the characters are fun to watch. But as a finale to the overall Skywalker Saga, it's quite disappointing. The story feels more like it's trying to make up for lost time rather than tell a good stor...

The Star Wars Hype

If you're going to do a film blog you need to talk about Star Wars! In the fall of 2012 it was announced that Disney had bought Lucasfilm from mastermind George Lucas and, in effect, were to create a new Star Wars trilogy. At first fans weren't too happy about the news. Mainly because the last Star Wars trilogy didn't live up to the standards of the original and also the films would be produced by Disney, a company well known for happy, cheery and very family-friendly fairytale adaptations (Similar reactions to how Marvel fans reacted when Disney bought the rights to Marvel Studios). But now it seems everyone's had a change of heart. Everyone is waiting eagerly for this next chapter in the saga to be released, analysts are expecting it to be the biggest releases of 2015, and this is the year which saw Jurassic World top The Avengers to be the third highest grossing film of all time. So what's exactly got the fans to do a complete 180 and get on board with the n...
