*I supposed to write about this movie in a long manner way, but because it's been too long, I decided not to do so. It's been a busy week so I didn't update it though.
Hellboy 2 is much better than the predecessor, cinematography and effects are good, but yet again a del Toro's trademark of super weird creatures and styles. It gives a boring and hype mood at the same time. Mr Hellboy have shown to me that he is ugly and he is son of devil, yet still fight for the people on earth, how noble, but again he is just an ordinary superhero, nothing much. The story plot is okay but the scenes don't seems to flow well in certain part. Particular missing of some cast from the first series but the actions speak louder than previously installed. Good work but for del Toro's, it is still not the best yet. Watch for the sequel!! - 3.5 stars
