Hellboy

So Hellboy is in theaters and the early reviews are bad ...

Consensus is the writing is poor and the CGI is terrible.
This is disappointing news as I had been excited that this film was being made.

Considering this development, I will wait to see this film when it is available on DVD.
I will do a review after that.

Review - Reign of the Supermen (2019)


What is it about?

Six months after the death of Superman at the hands of Doomsday,
Superman's body has been taken from his grave.
Nobody knows who has taken the body or why.

Lois Lane (Rebecca Romijn), just recently learning of
Superman / Clark Kent's Secret identity and struggling
with her grief, sets out to find
some answers.

What did I like ?

Lois's interaction with Diana / Wonder Woman (Rosario Dawson)
Was awkward, as she learns of Wonder Woman's relationship
with Superman. This scene was totally believable, well acted and the dialog well done.

I liked this iteration of Steel (Cress Williams) much better
than how Steel was portrayed on The WB's  Legends of Tomorrow  .

Lex Luthor (Rainn Wilson) was spot on.
Arrogant and self-absorbed, this is the classic Luthor character
and I really enjoyed how he is portrayed here.

What did I not like?

Superboy (Cameron Monaghan) is quite different here than he is
portrayed in Young Justice.
Superboy's personality seems more like Young Justice's Impulse
than Superboy. I found this a little annoying.


how do I rate this film?

I'll give this film 4 stars 

Scale of 1 to 5
My Rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
