I saw Hellboy 2 yesterday and while I can say it was a visually interesting, even stunning movie, that is about the best that I can say for it. It wasn't a bad movie, persay, but it lacked the story and the heart of the first one. It was all over the place, trying to be too many things at once. It couldn't decide if it was an action, comedy, romance, allegory or horror movie. I never felt danger for the characters and barely felt the emotions that were supposed to be so strong between these characters. It seems as if parts of the movie are missing or lost. My only true anticipation was that it was as good as the first and that I was entertained...sadly neither desire was completely filled.
On a related, but outside of the screen note: There should be a special place in hell for people who bring young children to movies that are not for children. We had a chatty little girl wondering around from one set of family to another. I kept my cool but only just and if I had possession of a roll of duct tape that day, the girl would still be attached to the wall. Call me what you will but if you can't control your child, someone else will.
