Hellboy II, The Golden Army

On Saturday, August 2, 2008, I went to see the movie Hellboy II, The Golden Army. This is an action/comic book movie based upon the character.

Starts off with a young Hellboy, and it's Christmas Eve. He refuses to go to bed, until a bedtime story was read to him. You realize after the movie is done, that this story may be true, and that it's the story that the entire movie is based on.

I didn't see the first one, so I might have missed a bit of history from the first one, but the second one may have some history where the first one left off... The premise of the story is that there was a truce that was called between goblins, elves and humans. However, the exiled prince of elves came back and is going to wage war on the humans using the Golden Army.

The special effects and imagination that went into the movie was superb. Of course though, this movie was done by the same director of Pan's Labyrinth, so that's to be expected. Oh yeah, the costumes are awesome too.

An enjoyable movie... A lot better than I was expecting it...
