Loads of Action, Fun, and Mayhem - How can you loose?
Just saw Hellboy II - The Golden Army. This was a fast paced well executed story with superb special effects. Guillermo del Toro's Vision for the film outdid the 1st installment by a significant measure. Some of the comedic scenes fell short but, for the balance of the film, everything else worked. The execution of the story onto the screen was elaborate and richly detailed and the acting was great; Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones bring their characters to life with great intensity. When the mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth, Hellboy and friends are there to save humanity - ungrateful though they are for that little service. If you didn't see the first (I chose to rent that one after an all nighter that left me in bed sick for a whole day) no matter, this one works so well you get the background very very quickly. At a minimum, go see it for the special effects and the visually stimulating sets. It?s worth it just for that.
