CRITIC REVIEWS
LEW IRWIN
Comic books make another return to the movie theaters this weekend, with Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, starring Ron Perlman and directed by Guillermo del Toro making its debut in previews at midnight tonight (Thursday). Early reviews are mostly positive. Roger Moore, writing in the Orlando Sentinel, calls the film "a visually striking, mildly amusing way to kill a couple of hours." Likewise, Claudia Puig in USA Today writes, "This Hellboy sequel is a quintessential summer movie that delivers plenty of inventive thrills." Peter Hartlaub in the San Francisco Chronicle says that del Toro "gets the tone right throughout Hellboy 2, and the hip retro charm alone is enough to merit recommendation." But writing for the McClatchy newspapers, Fresno Bee film critic Rick Bentley, while clearly impressed with del Toro's past work (including the critically praised Pan's Labyrinth) concludes: "Sadly, Hellboy II is visual overkill. It is like trying to see every display in the Louvre in just over two hours. There is no time to enjoy the work. That's criminal. This movie is full of imaginative creations that will be missed if you blink."

the action is fine, but there are no deep (or other) moral dilemmas to resolve....which is why there is no dramatic tension....it's easy to find more of that in any chicago backalley....which is why hbII is likely to be relegated to the purgatory of a 3+.

I enjoyed this movie. It was action packed and kept my interest through out the film. I dont know what people were thinking but for me this movie was a five. I liked it so much I am going to purchase it on blue-ray. I guess folks who gave it a 4 or less have no imagination. Great movie once again. Barry Manlow made it for me stellar.
