I saw it at the "two dollar movie" theater in n my city, really $3.50 now, and Im glad I waited. Of course the trailers looked great, but.... It felt like they were trying to pack too much stuff into one film., so the story tended to wander- lets get Wild Hunt in, lets get Alice in, lets get Leopard man, Baba Yaga (which lead nowhere). The Hellboy makeup looked like it was melting into his chest and I get it they wanted a "different look" for the characters look, but looking like a mess didnt help. They try for an angle about " why cant the monsters have a life too" but the argument doesnt hold up when your dealing with things that feed on children's fingers and the marrow of humans. I know they wanted and edgier darker story, but showing people impaled and torn apart in full screen didnt add anything. I wish they could do a series of shorter films or a film of individual stories if they want to do another film, and we dont need to rehash the whole apocalypse angle- if we're going, we know his story.
