Hilarious, and entertainment value beyond much comedies

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2008)

This hidden gem gave me a good laugh, all the main characters are hilarious and specifically the head villain (the guy that looks like a failed hard rocker with psychological issues). The grey-haired evil dude takes out his issues on his father, the old guy with trees growing out of his head, and then wants to put an end to his sister as well! I wonder what Freud would have said about all this. Anyway, Hellboy 2 is great entertainment value and the CGI amazing. There is one remotely philosophical scene, where the "elemental" is summoned and subsequently destroyed. Overall the plot was atrocious, but then again people go to see this movie for other reasons.
