‘HELLBOY’ Super R-RATED Sizzle Reel More Than Justifies The Film’s Rating

If you had any questions as to why the new Hellboy reboot has an R Rating, this new sizzle real will answer them for you. The 1:20 trailer is full of swears, violence, blood, a couple of beheadings, and at least two decapitations. The only question we’ve got is if the movie just showed us all it has to offer before we are getting to the big screen? If we didn’t, does that mean that the gore serves the story, or does it mean that they’ve taken it so overboard that it becomes a distraction? Either way, this new trailer is fun to watch, but I just hope it’s a taste of things to come and not the whole meal.

Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy (David Harbour), a demon caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge.

Hellboy stars David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim, Sasha Lane, Thomas Haden Church, Penelope Mitchell, Sophie Okonedo, Brian Gleeson, and Kristina Klebe.
