Hellboy (2019)
Not so bad.
How could anyone think this? Was easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen, everything about it was unbearable.

Toy Story 4.....was surprised about Andy's decision at the end
Do you mean Woody? They had to find a way to actually close the series, and this did it.
SpoilersWatched John Wick 3 tonight and it was better than I expected. It was a hell of a lot better than the 2nd one, which had me fucking yawning about half-way through. It did however have a fairly predictable/meh ending. I was hoping they'd get to the high table shit in this one, rather than drawing it out, but the second he left the desert, that was assured.
While I enjoyed the movie and I'd recommend it as a decent watch, there was a moderate amount of scenes and plot-points that were poorly done, or pure nonsense throughout. The most puzzling one to me was why Wick wouldn't kill the man above the table. Neither he nor his guards appeared to be armed and even if they had been, it's not as though this is some deterrent for John, so why would he agree to kill Winston, instead of ending shit right there? The whole HB fight scene was horribly done, this was easily one of the worst fight scenes in all three of the John Wick films. Half the time she'd spend extra time calling the dogs to attack someone in non-vital spots, so that she could shoot them, rather than just shooting them. Even worse, was how these highly trained animals acted like idiots during half the scene. When an enemy is killed, or stops struggling, a trained animal would release and look for the next target, but these mutts keep chewing aimlessly on dead bodies, which was moronic. I get what they were going for and pandering to dog lovers is hip I guess, but the scene was fucking awful from start to finish and leaving it out, by means of having HB not act like a fucking moron over her dog being hurt (not even fucking wounded), or removing the dogs, would have made the movie a lot better. Coming back to Winston though, I get that they purposefully left the final scene open, so that we could debate about whether or not he was intending to kill John, but again, this was yet another bad scene. Either he's trying and it makes no sense that he's that incompetent, or he wasn't, and he proved that he was incompetent to the high table in that moment and they should continue with their removal of him from the premises, especially now that his one and only trump card has been taken away. Couple other minor things, like the people who trained fucking Wick are taken out without ever even noticing their enemy is there? I mean.... come the fuck on lol. Same goes for the Bowery King and allowing him to live, the fuck was that about?
I still enjoyed it and I'll watch the fourth one online as well, but I felt it was closer to 7/10, versus the 8-9/10 reviews it's received almost everywhere. Will watch again sometime down the road, maybe I'll notice more shit, but those were the only things that bugged me a lot.
