Nice Flick

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2008)

Went to watch the film at the cinema just now. Picked out the film because other films shown there were either not interesting or because I've seen it already.
I'm not a Hellboy fan, have not read any of the comic, and did not finish watching the first film. So I hope I can give a truly objective review.
This sequel, I believe, picked up from where the first film stopped. Hellboy, now married to Liz was living together. And as in any relationship, there's bound to be good days, bad days, and extremely bad days (I quote Fish's phrase).
The opening starts with young Hellboy, who was about to go to bed and asked his dad (or is it? I suppose it's not his biological dad, though). He asked for a bedtime story, and his dad told him about the Golden Army.
Alright, fast forward to current time. Prince Nuala (the son of the King of Bermootha) crashed an auction house and stole the stuff that belongs to his dad. And it did not stop there. he went on a rampage and let loose his 'pet' to feed on all the people in th auction house.
Alright, not gonna spoil the full story :) In my humble opinion, I think the film's was quite good.The audio was superb, the sword swooshing, the monsters squeaking, the works, it was fantastic. The computer-generated animation was also nicely done. It look almost real! However, I think the film's a tad too long, and younger audience in the cinema lost attention halfway through the film. Other than that, nothing major worth mentioning.
