aka Thoughts while watching Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
Denial: Okay, so it's off to a weird start. Everything looks a little bit too bright and cute, but I mean we're just beginning. It's only been, what? Twenty, thirty minutes? Mike Mignola helped write the story, didn't he? And I love Mike Mignola! We'll get to the good stuff soon, I'm sure.
Anger: What? What is this? What am I watching? What the hell am I watching? What is happening here? Why is it all jokey? Why is Hellboy a prick? He's always been tough and impulsive but underneath all that bluster we know he's not careless with other people's lives! Why is Liz Sherman on fire every time she's mad? We get it already! She can start fires! Why is Johann Krauss nothing like his character? Why is Abe annoying? We already know these characters, we should care about them! How the hell did this happen? How the hell did this movie make me not care about anyone of these characters I love? What's going on? Why is this movie written for seven year old children? What the hell am I watching?
Bargaining: Well, the set looks great, doesn't it? And I mean, I love del Toro! He's one of my favorite directors! Cronos was great, The Devil's Backbone was great, Pan's Labyrinth was great - hell, even Blade II was ridiculous fun! He did such a great job of making the first HB movie, I couldn't think of anyone else who could do a better job, right? And Hellboy is, like, one of my most favorite comics to come out in the last ten years! And Ron Perlman is still Hellboy, right? Luke Goss is awesome as Prince Nuada. Sort of. And, uh, the creatures are really well designed! And there are so many creatures! Creatures are great! Right?
Depression: There are waaaaay too many creatures and I don't know what they are here for. There are waaaaay too many things happening and I don't care. This is Hellboy 2! I've been waiting 254378191021 years for Hellboy 2! And this is what we get. Why? Why? Why does it feel like a Hollywood trap? Why? Why is there a drunken sing-along to Barry Manilow? Why are people laughing to the drunken sing-along to Barry Manilow? Why? Why? Why?
Acceptance: You know, I think I'll just stick to reading the comics from now on.
