The third film in the comic adaptation franchise 'Hellboy' has a new director, a new writer and a new look -- led by a swashbuckling hellion who uses expletives and wears one of the most ridiculed hair styles in decades.

This image released by Lionsgate shows, from left, Daniel Dae Kim, David Harbour and Sasha Lane in a scene from"Hellboy." Hellboy is back and he's got a dirty mouth and a man bun.

Out is director Guillermo del Toro, a monster maker of epic proportions. Out is the original Hellboy, Ron Perlman. Out is the PG-13 rating. Now we've got an edgier, R-rated brightly red hero in a film that can best be described as tedious. What you need to know is that Hellboy is a devil who ends up working for the good guys, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence.

We meet the ancient Russian witch Baba Yaga, the evil, Liverpool-accented porcine monster Gruagach , Hellboy's adoptive father , the Queen of Blood , the wizard Merlin and King Arthur , a young cool woman with powers named Alice , a cool older sorceress and a fellow agent-monster played by Daniel Dae Kim with a pretty terrible British accent.
