Hellboy says "hell, no" to golden army.

Rating: 5/10 (2 September 2008)

Ancient misguided prince (with some nice skills) wants to resurrect a golden army. You can guess what he wants it for. So it's up to Hellboy to see that another power mad nut doesn't get his way.
I found this second Hellboy to be too long and too tedious. The first one, as is usual, was far superior. This one had nice sets, effects, and all--BUT-- the story was badly told. The dialog got on my nerves. I dunno. I'm thinking: superheroes (and heroes in general) SHOULD NEVER BE IN A RELATIONSHIP ---at least in movies because it leads to the most boring dialog and crap you don't care about.
And while we're at it, No sidekicks, either. Because they're always trying to be funny when they're not. If superheroes were made strictly for a male audience there would be no such thing cause guys just care about going after the bad guy, great effects, and ass-kicking. But these days they're made to have female appeal and so our hero is bogged down by all these emotions and domestic-like banter.
Don't get me wrong, it they could make it work --if the dialog was snappy and clever --I wouldn't mind. In this movie Hellboy looks like a big dope and his girlfriend looks like a dope maker. I can't help but think that if she wasn't in the picture (as a love interest) he'd be more focused on what's important to me as a guy: looking cool and kicking ass. Love, Boloxxxi.
