Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2)
The guy text messaging off and on through the movie. come on who are you texting at 11:45 at night. plus I think his friend was drunk.

Anyway

You know you're not watching a formulaic comic book film when one of the highlights is a drunken rendition of "Can't Smile Without You" by Hellboy and Abe Sapien. The comedy feels less forced and is worked incredibly well into the script here, so much so that it doesn't feel remotely unnatural when the scene of comic drunken singing leads directly without a break into one of the film's most intensely dramatic sequences.

"Hellboy II: The Golden Army" is a more confident, assured outing than the first film and while it does not draw from Mignola's comics for its plot it is perhaps better off for it, lacking the usual burden of comparison and expectations. "The Golden Army" is more fantastical than the first film and is less sci-fi oriented but this is the sort of thing Del Toro does exceptionally well as a writer. Also a few high notes where Danny Elfman composing, Guillermo Navarro serving as cinematographer.

The movie for me was well-shot, well-crafted, the sort of thing that left me wondering how much time and effort went into it the making of the film. I'm also thankful that some really talented people went to the trouble of making the film that lived up to expectations.

Side notes

Anna Walton played Princess Nuala pretty well for an actress who had only been in three previous films A Girl and a Gun,Vampire Diary,Bright Hair.

Guillermo del Toro used incredible puppetry combined with digital enhancement to achieve the desired look of the creatures in the film.

Well thats all I've got, go see it. Thanks for reading
