please...I wanna yak. what in the hellboy was everyone talking about this being a good movie?! I knew the very moment we all laid eyes on uber-saccharin, 10 year old Hellboy we were all in big, big trouble. Bigger trouble than those huge, cutesy teeth and bedtime story crap could have indicated. Ick.
Then, the comedy. The comedy! Yikes. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Horrible, limited, cringingly-awful stupid. I think my toilet brush could have written/delivered the comedic lines better...and it's not sentient...it's a toilet brush.
And lastly, if we want to hang the "success" of this movie on the visual effects...not that great. Guess they're not as horrible as the Yetis in the Mummy (another rant, but at least I expect absolutely zero from The Mummy), but they ain't that good either.
Thanks buddy. Your own "comedy" was pretty inspired too. Now get your mommy to tuck you in-I wouldn't want you to get any nightmares. Those Del Toro creatures can get into your subconscious. Oh, I'm sorry. My bad. You probably weren't allowed to watch Pan's Labyrinth. Make sure you clutch your teddy-bear tight now!
I am a lost soul/I shoot myself with rock n' roll/The hole I dig is bottomless/But nothing else can set me free/
