Don't see this movie

Rating: 2/10 (11 July 2008)

Hellboy II promised non-stop action scenes and a lot of butt whooping on Hellboy's part. However, the only thing that it delivered were stupid comedy scenes that ruined the movie. The first Hellboy delivered not only action but the entire movie was on a serious note, the way these movies should be. The sequel sadly fell into the common path of superhero movies that try to be funny along with delivering action. Guillermo del Toro cannot do this. Between scenes of singing drunken love songs and the locker room scene the entire movie spirals downward to a horrible experience.
Not only does the overdose of comedy kill the movie, there is a huge hole in the plot. King Balor sentences his son, the prince, to death for trying to wage war against the humans. The prince asks his twin sister, whom he shares a link with, if she agrees with the sentence and she does agree. She agrees that he should die. With the link she would also die. So why didn't she sacrifice herself in the first place and commit suicide to stop him? The movie should have been over within the first twenty minutes. But unfortunately for the audience we have to sit through the next two hours.
My recommendation is that this movie is a waste of money. Wait for one of your idiot friends who thinks it is sweet to buy the DVD and watch it for free if you want to suffer through it.
