This new Hellboy film feels like a rough, jarring alternative to Guillermo del Toro’s version—a far cry from an elaborate artistic statement. Adapting “The Wild Hunt” and “The Storm and the Fury” from the comics doesn't improve things. Without Del Toro’s distinctive approach, the character designs and monsters feel rigid and unimaginative.
