It has been (or so the radio tells me) seven straight days where it has reached over 90˚F. Blech. So yesterday seemed like the perfect time to go see a movie (gasp, on a work night!). This is the first movie I’ve seen since Christmas.
There are a lot of fun movies out or coming out soon that I’ve heard good things about – which of these brought me to the theater?
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
I enjoyed it – most particularly Guillermo del Toro’s fantastic imagination, and his horrifying re-interpretation of tooth-fairies and the bizarrely-eyed seer beneath Ireland. Nonetheless, I think that the first movie (excellent) was the better film. There was more tension between characters, more for the viewer to figure out on their own, and less certainty that the right people would all win out in the end. In short, I think the first film was the smarter of the two.
Nonetheless, I consider it money well spent.
