Hellboy II: The Golden Army
While TheSeed was sleeping and Marge was fighting to keep awake, I was struggling to block the headache induced by new car fumes. We were all trying to watch Hellboy II.
This one had a lot more action. It was quicker paced and it had more laughs. I was missing that one dude from the first movie, but he was written out because he stood out like a sore thumb. Hellboy is still a great character and Ron Perlman is the perfect actor for that role. Abe Sapien gets no love from the writers, but watching it you would’ve guessed the ending anyway since it will always be that way for fate-intwined twins. Johann Krauss was hilarious. He is a cartoon character what with the voice of Ludwig von Drake!
I don’t know if this was del Tormo’s Hellboy or Mignola’s. I can’t imagine Mignola writing something featuring that menagerie of creatures. They were all too vivid. I haven’t read the Hellboy comics too much, but they don’t seem to dabble in ancient mythological history of elves, but of Lovecraftian design. The monsters were more del Tormo.
3 of 5 stars.

I enjoyed what I was awake for… I actually want to see it again.
