Hellboy (2019)

April 20, 2019 19:56 - 1 hour - 74.8 MB

They nitpick the trees, the swords, and the unbelievably poor CGI.

Shazam!

April 12, 2019 16:56 - 1 hour - 80.1 MB

Before he was Professor X, he was Charles. Before he was Magneto, he was Erik. Before these movies were bad again, this one was awesome.
