Hellboy II: the Golden Army

[lookingland]

fun and fabulous ~ if you've never seen the first one, get it and watch it first; it'll help contextualize the character relationships. otherwise, this one stands on its own, storywise. lots of action, lots of fun weird creatures, alas too much cgi (but what can you do?). ron perlman is excellent again in the title role and the villain is lovely-creepy in a strange live-action manga sort of way.

two thumbs up if you dig this sort of goofball stuff.

One of my favorite things about Ron Perlman is that he shares my man crush on Lee Marvin. You can kinda see it in some of the roles he plays.

Yeah, I'll be seeing this one.

sorry, i just had to. but how can anyone not love lee marvin???

i'll be innerested in your review ~ seems like some other critics haven't been too keen on it. maybe i just needed happy blow-em-up filler in my life right now.

counting down the days to X-files.
