Want to watch the 1st one also

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2008)

Hollywood is certainly moving in a direction where in a movie, they sure want to have some message regarding environmental issues we are facing today. Wall-E was dead on this point and in Hellboy also you can feel it if you think about the basic story of the movie. The movie is technically very sound, the artwork is great. Another Hollywood trend settling in, a good one, is that the heroes are again becoming cool guys e.g. in Ironman. Hollywood had lost its taste for heroes like Eastwood of The good, the bad and the ugly somewhere but they are in making again. I do not remember any such hero in the last few years, the one whom you feel you can follow or had style of their own. There were Frodos, Potters, Spider Man etc. but neah...Batman has its own character built, lacks the style or something that Ironman has. The closest I can think of is Gandalf from LOTR but the energy level wasn't something we are seeing this summer in the leads. The best part of the movie was when they bring human emotion element into a superhero, all such movies do it at some point in the movie but this one took help of music. I was literally awed at that moment. The camera height, the artwork, the music, I was like...Hollywood has really taken the level of entertainment to some height but it all looked fun to watch..again.. because of the body language, the style of Hellboy. Watch it!
