Movie Review: Hellboy 2
Jul. 25th, 2008 01:12 pmWell, with all the hoopla over TDK (deserved), I suppose comics fandom has passed by Hellboy 2. I haven’t seen this bad a scheduling since The Punisher was released the same weekend as Kill Bill (a shame; Tom Jane OWNED Frank Castle the same way RDJ does Tony Stark). It’s too bad because even though it has a much smaller stature, I think HB2 is just as effective as TDK. More so, in some ways. TDK keeps tripping over its own shoes with the portrayal of the Batman himself, with the silly Goodyear suit and the awkward voice. Ron Perlman, on the other hand, breathes Hellboy. However, some overly blatant manipulation hampers the movie, keeping it from being all it could be.
( ”Spoilers.” )
As a sidenote, this movie is slashy as hell. Hellboy and Abe sing a love song, Abe and Johann are practically love in first sight, and there's 'cestiness. You know, if you're into that. I'm not judging you. Except silently.
