Watched Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy II: The Golden Army from 2008. I would describe it as a comedic fantasy film (rather than a comedic superhero film). Is a very enjoyable movie that has outstanding make-up and practical effects, and also only uses cgi when seemingly absolutely necessary. Actors are on top-form throughout and the story and script are well-written, I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't already seen it. Both this and the original film are well above par for comic book adaptions. Film score - 8.5/10. btw Is a great shame that the franchise is apparently being rebooted instead of Hellboy III getting the green light.

I might be in the minority but I prefer Hellboy II over the first film! I love both mind you, I could watch Guillermo del Toro films all day long. Even Pacific Rim...

I was thinking of going to see The Mummy today, but changed my mind, not least because of all the bad reviews. Instead I went to the video shop and rented a bunch of flicks, including Logan. Logan - aka Wolverine - is ekeing out a meagre existence as a chauffeur in 2029, trying to look after an ailing Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) in a world where mutants are dying out. Trying to stay under the radar, Logan instead finds himself becoming an initially reluctant bodyguard to a young girl being hunted by powerful forces and who has some very familiar powers... Hugh Jackman's stint as Wolverine comes to an end in this 2017 superhero flick that is darker than the norm - and certainly earns its R rating with the bloodletting. Pretty good, if a bit overrated and about half an hour too long. |

Must admit that I wasn't very fond of Pacific Rim - ended up selling it off. Have seen all his films but must confess that the only del Toro films I like enough to keep a physical blu-ray copy of, are Mimic, Blade 2, Pan's Labyrinth, and Hellboy 1 and 2. Still...five films ain't so bad.
