HELLBOY II: The Golden Army
That was a ridiculously entertaining movie. I laughed, I smiled almost constantly, I giggled, I was awed, I gasped, and I cheered.
Red was awesome, Abe was awesome, Liz was not as annoying as last movie, that guy who was the grandpa on Arrested Development was awesome, the "creatures" of the magical realms were breathtakingly beautiful and scary and weird, and the villain kicked ass. He kicked way more ass than I would have expected from the trailer.
He was like Legolas from LOTR, ten years later, after someone cut down all his forests and he discovered angry rock music and radical politics. He was kind of hot, in an alien way. Loved the voice.
I want to make spoilery comments and give this a long and luscious review, but... I can't think of what parts I liked best. The fighting? The plant? The lockers? The singing? HILARIOUS! All of it was made of win.
I smiled almost constantly throughout, and I watched the credits with a dopey smile on my face. Red is a truly endearing lead character, and this time all his fellow warriors got to have their own character development, which in turn strengthened Hellboy's character development. I don't know if everyone will like it, but personally I couldn't have been more satisfied.
Note: If anyone wrote a review or reaction to HELLBOY, I'd love to read it!
