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.

Can't wait to see this. Loved the first one, and Perlman is always good value - one of those actors I've seen in bad films, but who has never been bad himself. Unfortunately, because I live in that muddy backwater known as the UK, I have to wait until August 22nd before it arrives here. Thank god I've got The Dark Knight to go see in the interim... :-)
