Lacking

Rating: 4/10 (16 July 2008)

This was pretty disappointing. I had high expectations that were not even close to being met. The story was OK, but just OK. The dialogue was not as clever as the first. When they tried to be funny, it ended up being ...lame. Gone was the "blue-collar" personality that made Hell Boy endearing.
The director spent more time being visually interesting than telling the story. The connection to Pans Labrynth was very clear.
I loved the first movie and my expectations could be the reason for my disappointment. Or, it could be that they simply missed the mark this time.
