Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) - Movie Info - Yahoo! Movies
 I'll be seeing this one for sure; probably tomorrow at a matinee since I have a softball game tonight. I really enjoyed the expert pacing and humor of the first film. I haven't read the Hellboy comic books so I'm not familiar with the setting & characters otherwise, but I'm glad to see they're adding a new team member with this second film. The first one had an almost steampunk quality to it, and it will be interesting to see how that carries over to this sequel. (They're also releasing a multi-platform video game in conjunction with the movie.) It seems like we're still in a golden age of superhero/comic book films; hopefully it will last awhile longer. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've gotta agree with LeHah on this one. It would have been worth a rental, but not worth spending $8 + popcorn at a theater to see. I don't understand how people thought this one was better than the last? The plot was worse. There was almost no point to the Abe Sapien character being in the story; he had not useful powers. There was no point to Selma Blair's character: the one use of her powers seemed very contrived and she had the emotional range of Chuck Norris in this sequel. At least in the first one they played up her "angst" angle.
After seeing this film, I would rather have spent the time watching Hellboy again than going to the theater. I own the first one and enjoy it quite a bit, but this second one was off the mark. I would say the most enjoyable aspect of the film was the humor. There's nowhere I can't reach.
