Milla Jovovich Stands Defiant Against ‘Hellboy’ Critical Beating

The critical and commercial thud that “Hellboy” received from critics and audiences alike isn’t anything new for Milla Jovovich, she’s the queen of duds; Off the top of my head I can think of “Joan of Arc,” “Ultraviolent” and all of those “Resident Evil” movies as prime examples of past, and quite infamous, Jovovich bombs.

The actress has decided to go to Instagram to explain that everyone should be perfectly happy for her, and that “Hellboy” is a film that will endure, age like fine wine if you will, over time. Oh God.

“It’s always stressful on opening weekend and @hellboymovie is no different. You work super hard to make something fun and entertaining and have to absorb the negative reviews by movie critics, but hey! THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY,” she wrote on social media.

Jovovich added, “All my raddest films have been slammed by critics. It’s fucking hilarious. You would have thought that was the worst movie ever made if you read the reviews in like ‘98. Zoolander? Slammed. Joan of Arc? Disaster. Resident Evil? Let’s not even go there. Anyway, every one of those films is now a cult classic. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. And [‘Hellboy’] will be too.”

Neil Marshall’s “Hellboy” reboot currently holds a 14% rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes. Comparing it to “Dazed and Confused” and “The Fifth Element” is a little much. Somewhere out there Richard Linklater and Luc Besson are face-palming in disbelief.

Then again, what else is she supposed to do than to defend her own movie?

"Yeah, don't bother watching it!" Never going to happen.

It's always stressful on opening weekend and @hellboymovie is no different. You work super hard to make something fun and entertaining and have to absorb the negative reviews by movie critics, but hey! THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY.😎 All I'm gonna say before going to bed is this: All my raddest films have been slammed by critics. It's fucking hilarious. Dazed and Confused? Seriously? Classic movie. The Fifth Element! You would have thought that was the worst movie ever made if you read the reviews in like '98😂. Zoolander? Slammed. Joan of Arc? Disaster. Resident Evil? Let's not even go there. Anyway, every one of those films is now a cult classic. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. And this will be too. Mark my words. Why? 1. Because of the amazing actors. David Harbour. Ian Mcshane. Daniel Dae Kim. Sasha Lane. They are all so damn wonderful and talented, the movie is worth seeing just because they're in it, especially one that's so much fun to experience as this is. 2. @mikemignola who created the #Hellboy comics helped write the script and was on set every single day to make this film as close to his vision as possible. 3. It was directed by one of the greats. #NeilMarshall who brought us "The Descent". One of the greatest horror movies ever. Trust me, you're gonna have a blast watching the new @hellboymovie. I mean, one critic said "it's a loud, gory mess only a teenager would love."😂👍🏼👊🏼HELL yea Hellboy! Let's have some fun! And with that, I wish you all a good night! Xo m😘
