Hellboy II: the Golden Army

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.

lol... I'm not over or under thinking anything, really. I just found it funny that two people I respect had such divergent opinions and I was just curious, that's all. I'll probably rent both of them and do a double header when it comes to DVD.
