Jul. 12th, 2008 05:50 pmOk first and foremost, go here and hit "Play" if you're an Avatar fan. Just trust me, you will want to see this. It is guaranteed to brighten even the worst day. And speaking of Avatar, the remainder of the season starts up this week and we get the finale next Saturday. Can't believe it's finally ending...OMG what am I going to do without new Avatar to watch?
On a brighter note, I got to see "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" last night and the first thing I can say about it is that while the movieverse maintains its own integrity this flick really harkened back to the original comics in ways that the first film didn't. This just felt like an old school Hellboy story and yet, at the same time, it stayed true to the direction the film canon is now taking. Yeah, it walked this narrow but brilliant line between the two, gleefully tossing in elements from each guaranteed to please both general viewers and fans alike. Indeed I'd be astonished if anyone walked out of the movie feeling anything but completely satisfied and grinning happily.
( Ok, a few spoilery things behind the cut... )
So, overall I loved the film and would definitely see it again. I'll also own it as soon as it comes out on DVD and am desperately hoping they put out an "Art of..." book to accompany it.
