Hellboy II: The Golden Army

I had to force myself to sit through this one, much like the last one, and found that I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't know much about Hellboy when I watched the first movie but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

The story wasn't bad, characters were fleshed out reasonably well, action was fast paced and the special effects (for the most part) were great. You could see where they cut corners, but you could also see other parts where they spent a lot of time and effort getting it just right. Selma Blair bored me (again) but the villain was good and although the ending seemed abrupt, I wasn't disappointed.

4/5
