a lot of mindless action scenes, little substance

Rating: 5/10 (16 June 2009)

There wasn't a whole lot I liked about this film. It just seemed like there would be some action, then filler, then action and so on. Not much of a story. What story there is centers about twins, a prince and princess. The prince is evil and is looking for 3 parts of a magical crown that when assembled gives the wearer command over the golden army, which is the most powerful supernatural army in the world.
Hellboy is still working for the government and still with Liz, whom is given a silly side plot of being pregnant. The princess runs off with the third crown piece and seeks help from Abe, Hellboy, and friends. The prince tries to get it back, finally does and then there is a short sequence of what the golden army can do and then finally the final fight scene between him and Hellboy.
Most of the movie is just mindless action, like with the giant plant, the huge monster at the troll market, etc... and it just gets to the point it is stale and bland. If they don't have a decent story, then sequels don't need to be made.
FINAL VERDICT: Gets tiring to sit through the same fighting over and over. I don't recommend it.
