Hellboy, the renowned paranormal investigator born as a demon, embarks on a perilous journey to fight against bizarre underworld creatures and ultimately free humanity from darkness. The 2019 version of Hellboy presents an action-packed narrative that intertwines themes of destiny, morality, and the battle between good and evil.
The tale begins in the year 517 BC when humankind finds itself at war with dark creatures in Great Britain. The notorious witch, Vivian Namu, also known as the Blood Queen, unleashes a plague on mankind as a consequence of the war. To stop her, King Arthur and the wizard Merlin unite and succeed in killing her using Excalibur, Arthur's legendary sword. However, to safeguard humanity further, the pieces of the witch's body are sealed away, each in a box that can only be opened by a person of faith.
Fast forward to the present day, we meet Hellboy, who is troubled by the disappearance of his friend Ruiz during a mission to investigate a vampire lair. Hellboy locates Ruiz but soon realizes that his friend has transformed into a monstrous vampire. In a tragic turn of events, Hellboy is forced to kill Ruiz, plunging him further into grief.
After this heart-wrenching encounter, Hellboy is summoned by his father to return to the B.P.R.D (Paranormal Research and Defense) to confront another imminent threat: a group of giants terrorizing the country. Here, he meets new allies but also mysterious figures who seem to harbor their own agendas. The action-packed sequences kick off as Hellboy is plunged into a world filled with dark sorcery and betrayal.
As Hellboy navigates this new mission, he becomes entangled in a plan to resurrect the Blood Queen, Namu. The voice of an unseen antagonist stirs his detractors’ hatred and vengeance against him, igniting a quest filled with betrayal and intrigue. Namu's resurrection becomes central to the conflict as dark forces unite against Hellboy, who battles not just creatures but also within himself as he grapples with his demonic lineage.
With the help of the Osiris Club and his clairvoyant ally, Elizabeth, Hellboy encounters terrifying giants as he seeks to protect humanity. Hunted by humans who fear him due to his heritage, he faces combat both externally from his enemies and internally as he struggles against the identity imposed on him. The visceral confrontations with the giants are intense, showcasing Hellboy's powers yet highlighting his isolation.
As the story unfolds, the urgency escalates. Hellboy’s moral compass is tested when he learns of Namu’s return. With his newfound allies, Hellboy races to gather the pieces of the Blood Queen while facing relentless attacks from both humans and monsters. Each battle pushes him to the edge, intensifying the psychological pressure of his fate as he realizes there are forces at play far beyond his control.
With Namu fully resurrected, the stakes culminate in a breathtaking showdown. Hellboy faces the Blood Queen in an epic battle where he contemplates wielding Excalibur, the very sword that had betrayed her in the past. In a fight filled with visceral action, sacrifices are made, showing the true cost of war. The conflict embodies Hellboy's struggle to define his own destiny against external expectations and manipulations.
Ultimately, it is not just a physical battle; it's a personal one, questioning whether Hellboy will become the destroyer of worlds or the hero he was meant to be. Guided by the spirit of his father, Hellboy finds his strength amid despair. He realizes the importance of self-definition. In a poignant moment, he discards the path of destruction set by others and chooses to protect humanity, rejecting the fate laid before him.
The film concludes six months later in Siberia, with Hellboy, Alice, and Commander M11 united as a formidable team combatting dark forces. Their journey reflects growth, healing, and the lingering shadows of their past battles. As they face a new colossal threat, it becomes clear that while the battle against darkness is ongoing, hope prevails in their shared bonds and newfound purpose.
In this masterfully crafted narrative, Hellboy confronts his identity and destiny through trials that test the very essence of who he is. The 2019 Hellboy film is not just a tale of supernatural battles; it's a profound exploration of the struggle between light and darkness, within oneself and in the world.
