I've read a lot of the comic books. I love that it's not the same rehashed stories, but there's plenty of throwback for fans... (who doesn't <3 mechanical monkeys)

I finally watched it a few days ago. Hellboy looks a little shorter than he did in the first one, they got the guy who wears the Abe Sapien suit to actually speak (saw him earlier this year at the Big Apple Comic Con), and having Seth McFarlane (from Family Guy) do a German accent for the plasm-guy was just too funny.
Liz Sherman was a little whiny for my taste, but that's understandable knowing the whole story now. The 'elf Nazi' was kinda cool, especially with the training & fight sequences. |

I like del Toro's foray into re imagining the look of European folk monsters for a post-modern audience (see Pan's Labyrinth) but, honestly, Hellboy 2 fell flat for me. The visuals were excellent but Mignola's quick wit (making fun of Barry Manilow is a little passe in my book) and sense of tension seemed to be missing in these films. Too much drama, not enough smart-mouth or horror.
That said, I dug the evil eurotrash elf and the reaper. |
