hellboy 2 is another comic book film about an extra unusual superhero, this is the sequel to the hellboy film that came out a few years ago. directed by guillermo del toro again (he also did pan's labyrinth), this film is loaded with special effects, crazy costumes, and puppets. i don't know how to describe the film, it's very comicky but also has a different feel to it. i definitely liked it, and i liked the special effects in this one, they don't seem overdone like in some films.
the story centres around a an ancient truce between man and fairy tale creatures. prince nuada was against the truce from the beginning, and decides to break it in an attempt to destroy mankind. it's up to hellboy and his cohorts to stop the madness, and save humanity. lots of crazy puppets with their eyes in places anywhere but their faces, and kooky sidekicks with special powers. i'm definitely a fan of the hellboy series, but that may be more because of the director, i should probably see what else he has done, he seems to have a shit load of future projects.
