B-D Review: 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army'

This past week we posted our review for Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which arrives in theaters Friday from Universal Pictures. "There was no way, shape or form that HELLBOY II would meet its expectation, but even with all of the anticipation, the film managed to entertain just enough... In the end, what you'll get is another fun, yet forgettable summer blockbuster." Click the title for the full review or click here to write your own reviews the day the film hits theaters.

Who owns you??? you worship crap and blow off anything that might be good. del toro's a big name but doesn't mean you can't enjoy his films. this is an attitude that i see pop every time something a small group enjoys becomes popular, then they talk it down, damon foster was good example. he spent years complaining hollywood and people at large were missing out by not being into asian films and such, then it finially caught on and became popular and he was pissed! damon has grown up considerably since then and even still a least once a year puts out an issue of oc.

I wish Del Toro was doing the Elm Street remake instead of PD and those useless fucks Shannon & Swift.

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.

Hmmm...I thought the first Hellboy movie was very well done, I'm surprised Mr. Disgusting didn't enjoy it. But if the second one is even better, than all the more reason why I can't wait to see it!

Love is what maned up Hellboy in the first movie and as much as hate to say moved the story along. Mr' disgusting seems to have no problem with points sex and nudity in horror films though does he. i can't figure why when you know some savage terrible thing is killing everyone around you would feel the need to bump uglies. Now horror film that is just a love story sucks scales(the latest batch of tween vampmance novela flicks on the way for example.)and are totally pointless.

So far you're all correct. There is no consistancy here. Also there's the transparent way they illustrate their opinions of something they found "personally unsavory" as something no less than "empirical fact." Tell us the facts about the movie and tell us your opinion of the movie, but for fuck's sake try to keep the two of them strait. And for all the points made in that review, there's no reason at all that it needed to be more than one paragraph long. Have you thought of maybe leaving the journalism to the journalists?

I can't imagine anyone that was anticipating this movie taking to heart a review from someone who hated the original film. Why bother review it at all if its from someone who hated what made the original great anyway (this is why Ebert never reviewed Saw 2...he hated the original anyway). Find me someone who actually enjoyed the original and not some guy who holds 'Hatchet' on a pedistal above anything Guillmero Del Toro did and then I'll care what he thinks.
