i could have waited.

Rating: 6/10 (12 July 2008)

i was shocked when i read all of the glowing reviews. did we all see the same movie? did i miss something? my vote: rental > theater. the creatures of del toro will forever be pan's labyrinth reincarnated. i thought the 1st hellboy was a great blend of action flick, romantic comedy and one-liners. a perfect date movie. as with most sequels, i (shouldn't have) expected this again. instead, i waded through a multi-tasking and far reaching movie. dumbed down characters, blah "love story" dragged though great action with lord of the rings fantasy. in the end, even seeing selma blair in boy shorts couldn't resurrect this one for me.
