I have to admit - i was hoping it would be better - i found it a bit uneven.
It's obvious Del Toro looks at these films differently from his other work ...

hellboy 2 had a lot of the look he's been doing lately (a la Pans Labrynth) but this is a far more commercial film with more 'crowd pleasing' moments.

I found it more than a little uneven and with too many directions being attempted. (some just didnt get the proper weight)

I liked the angle of these extraordinary creatures trying to live like normal people ...

i understand that there was an environmental angle as well. (respecting the earth - and losing the magic through progress... etc ... - thats the one that wasn't realized properly - just touched in here and there)


I agree that the golden army itself was anticlimactic - and just not that interesting - as well as the projected resolution...

but there were bits here and there i enjoyed.

oddly - it made me appreciate the 1st one more.
