Easy to understand the demise of the series

Rating: 5/10 (25 October 2012)

Watching this, I can easily understand why no other sequel has come in the Hellboy series. This movie works well, even brilliantly, when the focus is solely on Hellboy. However, the villain who is supposed to be planning to take over the world, is not vile or powerful enough. The other anti- heroes, like Wink, are even more shittier. Some of the action scenes are pretty good and the one wherein a forest like creature comes to hunt Hellboy is positively amazing. But still, the majority of them, fall below expectations. The best part about the movie is Hellboy. He is really awesome and one of the better superheroes outside the Marvel/DC universe. Expected better things from del Toro, the creator of Pan's Labyrinth and Devil's Backbone. am underwhelmed by my viewing experience. 2.5 out of 5.
