So this past weekend I got to see Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. I thought the first Hellboy was okay.. not great, not even really good, just okay. I hear Guillermo didn't get a lot of creative freedom with the first one but after Pan's Labyrinth they let him have it all for HB2. It shows... Guillermo is a genius when it comes to he realm of the fantastical. His creature designs are both frightening and beautiful and the vast wolds he creates are nothing short of breathtaking. Even the troll market was beautiful in it's own way. The person I was with said it reminded her of Harry Potter. My reply; 'good'. I'm truly excited to see what he does with The Hobbit. I know I'm forgetting something.... oh yeah! The plot was MUCH better than the first movie's and the way everyone interacted with each other felt a lot more smooth and natural. I also have to mention how much I adore Doug Jones. He's such a talented man and I find it funny when people ask me who he is. "You remember the fawn and the pale man from Pan's Labyrinth.. OH! and the Silver Surfer... that's him!" *insert big smile at the look of awe on our hypothetical person* So yeah, Hellboy 2 = Good. I think I may have enjoyed it better than Iron Man but it may be that they are very different movies... you decide.
I'll review wanted on Thursday just so I have something to post then. Sorry this one was late.. my bad. Had to work. -Dustyn
