The One of Us crew’s Hellboy review doesn’t mince words about this reboot.
Here’s my impression of me finding out about this Hellboy movie: “Are we really doing this? Are we really abandoning Guillermo Del Toro’s already built universe for, what, a Neil Marshall horror-heavy version with the likeable-but-he’s-no-Ron-Perlman David Harbour taking over the title role? WHY?” Always one to hope for the best and not focus on the bad expectations once I’m in the seat, I said, “Chris, you never know. This could be exactly what this beloved (?) character needed, a fresh start. Let’s find the good.”
That was a tall order. Because Hellboy, rather infamously at this point, is NOT good.

Not good, at all. So then we go back to the WHY. We do our best to try to make sense of what went so horribly askew here. Listen to Chris, Marco, and Ben do their best to puzzle it out.
We are The US – We are one- Geeks of the world, unite!
For too long, the geek community has been divided into factions. The internet has furthered this division by dedicating sites to just one subset or another. We don’t believe in leaving you out. We’re not going to tell you if you’re ‘cool’ or ‘uncool’ based on what you’re passionate about. We believe in mutual respect and sharing our geekdoms with each other. We believe in having a hell of a good time. Does this sound like you?
Chris has dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band, to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet and built Spill.com. He currently runs One of Us - a podcast staffed by community of critics.
