Hellboy II The Golden Army
While the first film was a little lacking, a little too pandering to the fans, a little boring and long, I still loved it. The incredibly hot Hellboy, the incredibly hot Abe Sapien and the amazingly monotonous (thanks Selma Blair), but hot Liz Shermann. The love, the monster (cause for some reason there was only one and a big tentacle in this one) and the bad guy kept me going.
So it was I for some reason (probably related to a sick eroticism of the weird) eagerly anticipated the second installment. And it was amazing. After wondering for some time why the director, Guillermo Del Toro wasn't credited with the first, but was being lauded as the director of 'Pan's Labyrinth' and coming to the conclusion it was for the monsters, I went.
It was amazing. The creatures, the journey, the love, the hot alien-type people. But perhaps the most incredible scene was one in which Abe and Hellboy got drunk. The camaraderie, the song, the fact that the most normal thing in the world was happening to Blue and Red respectively. It was incredible.
But at one point in the film, I thought ahead, possibly for the first time ever and predicted a vital plot point involving the twins. The fact that I thought it saddened me, because it's another way learning about films and writing has ruined watching them for me, and when it happened, it was even sadder because I've held out for so long.
It still made the moment amazing. It was truly a beautiful film and one the likes of which I aspire to make.
