Not going to lie, I hope it's good, but all the trailers look absolutely awful. It looks like they had the equivalent budget of the 1981 Evil Dead, and then pissed it all away on God knows what

[–] YungOnions@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't get it when people say that the trailers look promising. It looks like a mid-tier fan film you'd find on YouTube.

Which is stupid because they had a budget of $25 million. Honestly just looking at the trailers, Brian Taylor or producers spent as little money as possible, and is taking the rest and running. Somebody is scamming.

Edit: I watched the trailer again just to see if I might have been to harsh, and the best comment I saw was "Ozempic Hellboy out here fighting a nursery rhyme demon" 🀣

"INSTALMENT"

Uh... is the 2nd L dropped in that word?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/installment

No mention of a 1-L spelling there.

Is this a fan poster?

Oh, it's a UK poster. I guess they spell installment differently?

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

Yes, just one L for us Brits! Source. 😁

I'm more surprised by them referring to it as the fourth instalment at all.

This movie is supposedly a reboot, so not part of the same storyline as the previous three.

Yet, that is what those words seem to communicate.

Marketing? Sloppy writing?

there was a third movie?

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, 2019 had a reboot with David Harbor as Hellboy.

I had never heard of this. Granted everything pre-covid is kind of a blur now
