Which it was. Fact.

I'm surprised that so many people liked this movie as much as they did. I didn't think it was anything great and I'm a fan of the character.

Thats highly infactual for being a fact

Hmm, I liked it. Not terrible, not fantastic.

Nice eye candy.

Flick was alright, nothing special. I built myself up because of Del Torro helming it, so in that aspect, it was a let down.

I do agree with that. I don't really think it was shit, just nothing special.

I still feel it's every bit as good as the first movie.

I loved it.

I just found most of it quite boring.

That's how I felt about the new Batman. Too long.

not long enough

Anyone who prefers Hellboy 2 over The Dark Knight clearly has some mixed up priorities. I'm not usually one to judge one's preferences, but honestly, TDK was so much better.

I think he means, 'quite f**k'n true,' which would make sense with the context of the last several posts. I wouldn't say my priorities are mixxed up. I simply liked Hellboy 2 a lot. The Dark Knight was a really good movie, but it wasn't anything great in my opinion. Nothing about it really blew me away, aside of the Joker and his antics. As for Hellboy 2, I was swept away to fantasy land, I lost myself in that movie. I could watch Hellboy 2 several more times and not get bored, I could probably stand to watch The Dark Knight one more time. Also, I don't like Christian Bale as Batman, so that doesn't really help sway me to the dark knight's side. I'm not super passionate for either film, but I am very passionate about Del Toro's visions and find his style new and refreshing.

alot probably has to do with the fact that Del Toro is a far more skilled visual director than Nolan...but in terms of English language scripts Del Toro always seems to get left with 2nd rate stuff

it'll be interesting to see what he does with the hobbit

Yes, very much so. I am looking forward to that.

I don't know if Del Toro is more skilled than Nolan, but he certainly seems to be more creative, atleast with how he captures his vision on film.

He's definitely not more skilled. Don't believe me? Look at how much better TDK is than HBII.
