Well, the things that were basically knocked are staples of just about EVERY freakin horror movie, ESPECIALLY modern horror. And many people seem content with THAT. Especially meaningless love scenes. Meaningless love is ALWAYS thrown around loosely in horror movies, love that contributes almost nothing to the characters and is JUST THERE to give the illusion that the characters are capable of loving someone. But yeah, BD praises a lot of movies with the same faults they seen in Hellboy II. There's a LOT of crappy movies out there BD has give the thumbs up to.
