Before seeing Hellboy 2 the Golden Army I wanted to a horror movie before seeing it and there it was the Blair Witch on TV. I saw it and I just sat there on how boring it was. The only reason I think reason people got scared by it is because it was one of the first movies to do the handheld technique[ the before being the Last Broadcast] and had people afraid that, what if somebody did film this? But know we know have dozens of mokumentaries and films[ ex. Cloverfeild] that have done it the same way. The end especially because it just ended, I realize that leads the imagination to make the conclusion but that still does not excuse that for me. There are alot of movies that make you use your imagination [ Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jaws] but they had some build up to it to but in this movie it just happens, this wasn't a bad movie nor was it a movie that had me blown away, it was just a movie that killed some time for me, thats it, it could have better but hey this movie is still considerd by many has one of the greatest horror movies of all time just not by me.
This is one of Del Turros best films, this movie has more in common in the original Graphic Novel by Mike Mongola than it's predecessor, the best adaptation of this I've see so far. Really interesting how this film manages to blend different genres together. The story takes place after the comic Call of Darkness, [but you don't really need read it to understand what's going on] and shows that for as long as humans and creatures have been around, they have been at war with each other, thus creating to ultimate weapons the Golden Army. This army was used to stop the war, and the king who used it made a truce between them. However this truce was broken by the prince and plans to destroy all that the humans have created and take it back by any means necessary, and pretty sure everybody knows whats going to happen from there on. The combination between Guillermo del Turros and Mike Mongola is a match that is too perfect for words and work well together, although this isn't has good as Iron Man, this is a good movie and would recomned it to action fans.
, why is there no Gort I saw him at the end of the trailer is that supposed to a Easter egg to older fans because I didn't see him in the actual movie, and why in hell was this movie made in the first place, the original film was a a classic in Scifi movies, the only reason I could think of is that I am Legend do so damn well they wanted to see that happen again, I for one am tried fo Hollywood raping all our classic movies[ Godzilla, Halloween, and The Invasion just to name a few]. These are film that should be respected but instead their butchering them to this crap. Once in a while make a original idea for once, instead of ruining classics. I really hope these damn remakes come to a end before this gets worse.
