Well, I didn't really want to see this film. I wasn't all that impressed with the first one but my BF kept insisting! It was OK - I felt the scenes with Luke Goss should have been more frequent as he was the best one in there (action scenes etc)
The 'effects', more to do with make-up then CGI were brilliant, it was the most enjoyable part of the film (you could so tell it was directed by Guillermo Del Toro)
The film could have done with being about 30 minutes shorter and no doubt there will be a 3rd instalment on the way.
As for the comparison with 'The Dark Knight, I dont know how anyone can compare it, they are in TOTALLY different leagues! (with Dark Knight winning HANDS DOWN!!!!)

I went to see this film because I loved Pans Labyrinth. And the creatures are definitely worth going to see this film for. However I did find the story slightly cheesy, but I guess that is to be expected from a Hellboy film.
Don't take the kids. How is this a 12A ?

I saw Pan's Labyrinth and was shocked by the violence in it. This is worse. At times it's digsusting. I don't mean it will make you nauseous. I mean it's mentally disgusting. Mainly due to the seemingly sadistic director and his use of very gratuitous violence.
Having said that, it's very well done, for the most part, an exact duplicate of the original (FBI = lunch on legs). Which you should probably watch instead.
The lack of David Hyde Pearce (Abe) was very disappointing, I tried to get over it, but he was really good in the last one. The Prince was a great character.. The Princess and the King barely existed. They would have helped integrate him more into the story I think. A lot was made of the Golden Army, very little of any other creature. Which would have been alright but the Prince kinda incited a civil war.
It's nothing like "The Dark Knight". I hate that line at the end of the previews. Puts me right off Odeon
