Even on Netflix i’d have to be pretty bored.
Check out IMDB, Empire etc, we did but we’d already bought the tickets

I thought the trailer looked awful, yet you kind of hope you are wrong.
Then this:

So come on lets have a review!!

How about a link to a review?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/movies/the-hellboy-reboot-has-more-gore-and-profanity-than-the-original-that-doesnt-make-it-better/2019/04/10/bde80b08-5105-11e9-88a1-ed346f0ec94f_story.html

Sometimes “more adult” does not mean “more mature.” That’s the central problem facing “Hellboy,” the reboot of the comic book character popularized in films by Guillermo del Toro. The original 2004 movie and its 2008 sequel were PG-13 affairs, with a focus on the demonic antihero’s lovable streak. Under the direction of Neil Marshall, a filmmaker with his own horror/fantasy bona fides, this Hellboy curses, eviscerates, flays and disembowels. Marshall and screenwriter Andrew Cosby went overboard with their R-rating, introducing so much gore and profanity that it, quite frankly, gets dull. The flat performances and incoherent story do not help matters.

Apparently there were all sorts of behind the scenes issues going on.

Scroobius Pip's latest podcast interview is with Ron Perlman which is a good listen. He talks about the first two HB films and his thoughts on the new one, amongst other things

Like Hellboy.

Nearly got up and walked out of this one.

Obvious plot is obvious. No humour (if there was I missed it). They lost the lovable rogue bit completely. So much gore badly done, and just one squelch sound effect over and over.

Legos... hmmm

And I live in the New Forest - it doesn't look like that, giants or not 😂

Wait for Netflix, don't waste your cash at the cinema. First Friday in main cinema and it was nearly empty says it all.

I’ve read a number of reviews via Flipboard, and none of them are good!

Mmm, seems to be the main thrust of this review too:
