What did they do? Why didn't they stick with Perlman?

What did they do? Why didn't they stick with Perlman? Too old? That's why they have stunt doubles. He's certainly got the chops for the role, and the established history. Look at the original graphic novels. Perlman is the one and only. I really loved the first two. This makes me sad to see what feels like an imposter in his role. |

I will admit that when I watch the trailers, the only really off notes seem to be every single line of dialogue by Hellboy. Not sure if it's just a casting issue, but the casting ain't helping.
I say this as a non-fan. The previous movies seemed cool in spots, but I don't think I ever watched one start-to-finish. I like G. del Torro in small doses, but not for a full smash.

I say this as a non-fan. The previous movies seemed cool in spots, but I don't think I ever watched one start-to-finish. I like G. del Torro in small doses, but not for a full smash. I love the visuals and cinematography, the storylines, the subtle interjections of humour, the casting always seemed quite spot-on for me, and I suspended my disbelief to totally buy into these portrayals. I've seen the first and second one both several times each, and am still just as entertained today as I was the first time. Perhaps more-so even. Maybe because I grew to appreciate Perlman in this role, and it's what I know and have come to appreciate, I find this substitution to be a bit unsettling. It's inconsistent. I also keep expecting to hear Ron Perlman's voice and seeing his face, so I get caught off guard by seeing this unexpected person. I may (or may not) see it, but I feel disappointed by this bizarre casting decision. Did you ever see Pan's Labyrinth? |

Perlman is great as Hellboy, and I like a lot of the other characters, as well. I just never could get into the story. I did see PL all the way through. I understand why it is acclaimed, the craftsmanship is exquisite, but again I wasn't much moved by the story, especially the reality Spanish Fascist side of it - so much so that I can't remember what it was really about. I know there was little girl going through magic chalk door and some fairies and a super-creepy flabby pale monster and she needed to get something and Spanish Civil War evil person with a cut mouth. The End. Beautiful, but the story never sank in. |
