Rotten Tomatoes Releases Their Score For Hellboy… And It’s Bad

Back in 2004 we had the first Hellboy film directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Ron Perlman as the demon Hellboy. Then in 2008 they returned for the sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army. When it was found out that neither del Toro or Perlman would be brought back for the new Hellboy film there was backlash from them as well as many fans. The new R-rated reboot directed by Neil Marshall and starring David Harbour is supposed to be a bloodier more violent take on the comic book character created by Mike Mignola.

Early reviews are in for the film and now Rotten Tomatoes has now released it’s debut score. Which as you can see below is very bad.

A lot of critics seem to believe that del Toro should have never been taken off this franchise. There are even those going as far as claiming that this may be the worst comic book films ever made. This is not a good way for the film to kick off ahead of it’s release. But it’s important to note that this 9% score reflects 33 reviews and as more come in the score could change. Just for comparison, the first Hellboy film has a 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes and Hellboy II: The Golden Army has a 86% score.

The Marshall directed Hellboy comes from a script co-written by Mignola, Andrew Crosby and Christopher Golden. Along with Harbour it stars Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim and Sasha Lane. Here is the synopsis for the film: Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy, caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge.
