Hellboy 2

[Lamp]

Anyone seen it yet ? Looks fun

Haven't seen an US snippets of it yet. Another week for it out here (release date is 20th I think).

I saw it about 1 week ago at a preview showing, was 'ok' and the group of us that went all thought it was average. Its graphically very nice and there is again lots to see, but the storyline is moving too quickly with lots of holes in the script.

Having seen Batman not long ago, perhaps if I watch Hellboy in 2-3 months time I might see what its like again, but right now don't go to the Cinema to see it, its just about worth a rental.

Saying that, you might like it

I liked the first one a lot, and heard mostly good things about the second. It looks like a bit of harmless action fun. I wouldnt go and see hellboy 2 for the amazing epic saga and timeless classic script, just for an hour and a half of cool graphics, shit-kicking and stuff like that.

 

[Lamp]

Exactly

 

[Mikah75]

It's fucking dump, just like the first one.

Read the comics, LOVED the comics, this is my "movie of the year", so it can't be cr*p even if it smells of turd and stains like poo :worthy:

My "part movie of the year" would be joker(character not actor).

qft

I knew it was going to be shit the first one, when it starts out as Hitler's private undead assasin made of sand... is opening up a demonic portal in... oh yes, Scotland.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I guess you either love it or hate it.

I can see why most people wouldn't like it, as it's a bit "over the top", but as a fan of the comics, it's JUST right porridge

 

[Naffets]

watched it yesterday, its quite shit to be blunt.

watch it if severely bored.

 

[Ctuchik]

saw it today. and i cant remember the last time i saw a more shit movie :/

i really was expecting that "golden army" to actually get out and fight some....

and the end was really "wtf?"

 

[Ezteq]

i'll watch it when it comes out on dvd (free rentals 4tw!!11)

has anyone seen or know if the movie journey to the centre of the earth with brendan frasier is out yet, i thought it was supposed to be out in july and only ever saw like one ad for it, considering it looked like a big budget action movie i thought that was a bit unusual.

any info guys?

HB2 is the first film I've ever wanted to walk out during - only stayed cos I thought my friend was enjoying it.

Afterwards he said he only stayed cos he thought I was liking it...

It's utter drivel and soooo predictable as to be painful. Sure the effects are pretty but what film isnt nowadays?

 

[Ezteq]

we watched "An Inspector Calls" the other day (you know the old black and white one with alistair sim?) bloody great film, no "big budget" or special effects just a good storyline and a rather wicked little nip in the tail, I have to say I actually enjoyed that film more than a lot of these so called modern day blockbusters (indiana jones 4 anyone?)

there were no explosions no blood and guts no sex no swearing nothing that film makers rely upon so heavily now to fool audiences in to not noticing there actually is no story line and the actors cant actually act.

I like explosions and special effects as much as the next guy but sometimes its so nice to watch a film that isn't predictable or just made to make money.

An inspector calls is great, had it to study in drama and English at school, and went to see a few versions of it in theatres.

Journey to the Centre of the Earth came out ages ago, however it was mainly aimed at 3D cinema's (as it was a 3D live action film), and so didn't do a huge thing with normal, 2D cinema's.

As for HB2, I really liked it, I thought it was even better than the first one, and I almost never say that about a sequel, I really like the director's stuff, I'm becoming a bit fan of him.

 

[Tiani]

I liked HB2 much better than the first one!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Better then first, exactly like i expected, Red goodness of comicbook worthy proportions

Again, it's over the top, but that's how hellboy is.

Just hope they make a third one no matter how critic people complain.

 

[Belgerath]

Was a winner for me simply because the last part of it was Filmed here (Northern Ireland) within 50 miles of where i live

 

[Azurus]

Better then first, exactly like i expected, Red goodness of comicbook worthy proportions

Again, it's over the top, but that's how hellboy is.

It's not being over the top that people complained about, its the pacing of the storyline.

I liked the film anyway the art direction was great you get what you payed for really, nice popcorn flick.

Loved it btw, saw a few weeks ago now, but was just an enjoyable, fun adventure!
Bit sad when he killed that Elemental though!
