Hellboy Dos
Posted by Neil Brimelow | Filed under Film General
Hellboy 2 was one of the best films I have seen all year. Hellboy 2 makes Pan’s Labyrinth looks like playschool play.
However, HB2 was missing a vital element most films these days are also lacking: TENSION. I just did not feel that the characters were in danger for most of the movie despite that they fought some pretty impressive creatures.
On that note, the movie does have some extremely impressive fight scenes that scale up to an almost epic level that really has not been seen in most movies since the LOTR trilogy.
HB2 makes the Xmen and Fantastic Four movies look like the utter pieces of shit that they are. There is so much detail in this movie it’s almost sad that it will be lost on most of the general public.
