Why don't filmmakers keep to the consistency and formula of the original??

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2008)

I saw this in America and I wanted to vent my frustration.....
The first hellboy was stylish, rough and mainly kept to the original character descriptions and humour that were in the comics. Cast was good, Design was good and nothing too over the top effects wise, to distract from the plot.
Then comes the second one, the consistency of the cast is not there( where is Rupert Evans???) He was supposed to take over John Hurt's role as the protector and guider and I thought he was really good at playing opposite Selma and Ron, their characters bounced of each other, oh and and why is it that not only do they disregard the consistency of plot but everything is on a much larger CGI - "hollywood" scale, effects wise? They always feel the need to do that when there is a sequel.
The story is predictable and is a bit too over the top, as usual Ron Perlman and Selmar Blair are good in the roles but I feel sorry for them as the whole thing is just not good enough for it to even come close to the original movie. Luke Goss if anyone remember's was in a group called Bross in the 80's and then turned up in the Blade sequel but I'm sorry he just cannot act for toffee.
Anyway, As a fan of the first and of the comics, I was really disappointed and I for one will not be watching this again.
Don't pay to see this, you will be both disappointed and will have wasted your money.
