> July 11 - Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

> Didn't care about the first one. Don't care about this one. But a lot of people liked the cheesy tone of the original. Usually, however, movies like that get too self-conscious in their sequels and fall flat. Still, the summer release date (which the first Hellboy movie didn't even get) may be considered a vote of confidence by the distributing studio.

The teaser for this started out immensely intriguing. It looked like a dark fantasy-bleeding-into-reality film that reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth. Then Hellboy walked onto the screen. Never has a movie fallen so far so fast for me. If somebody makes a version with every scene containing Hellboy cut out of the movie, then it should be watchable, barely.
