it's a hmmmm....

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2008)

"Hmmmm..." that was my thought when I watched this film. Del Toro is a brilliant director and Hellboy is a brilliant comic. But, the film felt like it lacked a certain "umph!" to it, just like the first Hellboy. Del Toro did a great job with the special effect and cinematography, it was easy on the eyes. But the script and the characterization surely needed some extra works. The story didn't feel that thrilling or even that gripping. The characters are there, but you couldn't exactly you know, like touch them. Each of them basically just stand there with a barely there feeling. Overally this film felt like it's floating. That's the perfect way to describe it, just floating. Not standing firmly on the ground nor soaring in the sky. Just floats.
