Hellboy 2
This is the kind of film that embarrasses me; I found myself tearing up! I'm too cool for that, but somehow with a son of Satan and an amphibious man I'm allowed to. So much greatness on display, I'm tempted to indulge in inflated diction and hyperbole. This is the best film of the summer ,so far. Use whatever superlative you want; this film just kicks serious ass!!!
I think DEL TORO's films are a lot like CLIVE BARKER's NIGHTBREED; what do you think? Last edited by James Whale; 07-12-2008 at 12:07 AM. Reason: GODZILLA!!

Cant fucking wait to see this. I love the first one, but this looks like it'll kick it's ass.
Yeah, Del Toro and Barker share some similarities for sure....Del Toro does the monster thing better though, IMO.

What do you mean about 32 monsters?
HELLBOY has way more the 32 monsters; does CLIVE BARKER's NIGHTBREED have 32 monsters? The Jim Carrey movie is called 23. Enlighten me if you would.:) :D

good times, but I liked the first two acts better than the third act, which is due entirtely to the creatures in each act.
The Tooth Faeries are scary as hell, The Forest Elemental is tragic and beautiful, but the Golden Army is a little blah in comparison. Almost a fantastic film, but I may grow to love it even more in repeated viewings. 8/10

Wow. And. WOW.
I was just ridiculously impressed. Hellboy 2 is the perfect summer blockbuster... With enough for even a movie snob such as myself. Amazing beasties (as noted by Rod) and some pretty slick action. That was the most fun I've had at the movies in a LONG time. I think I even enjoyed myself here more than I did at Ironman, which I also loved. Then again, I am a HUGE sucker for well-done beasties... And this movie was absolutely gorgeous. I definitely recommend it. A-/A
