From a mythological standpoint, the idea is brilliant and the visuals more than do it justice. It may not be a masterpiece like The Dark Knight, granted, but I certainly rate it among the good comic book adaptations.Speedgrapherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019766318514579416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940005017828748656.post-54895609666689416862008-09-15T12:13:00.000+03:002008-09-15T12:13:00.000+03:00Well I am not overly enthusiastic about Hellboy 2....Well I am not overly enthusiastic about Hellboy 2. The first Hellboy was a generic fantasy movie and so is Hellboy 2 with a big exception, the visual effects and Art Direction. Like "Pan's Labyrinth", has some excellent monster and scenic designs. But that isn't enough in my opinion to save a poorly written and badly executed scenario. Del Toro apart from an excellent creature designer, falls behind from other really great directors (Like Nolan of Batman fame) and the visuals alone cannot save an average movie.<BR/>All in all I don't think that Hellboy 2 is not enjoyable. I just say don't raise your hopes for something really extraordinary like the "THE DARK KNIGHT" movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
