a musing: derivations of a non-conformist idealist: Hellboy 2

I'll just go ahead and rate this with 3 stars out of 5. It was an ok movie to pass away the time but not really something you'd want to go out for. Nice graphics and effects. Simple 90-minute story that could have been shortened to maybe 40 minutes just by killing off that *deleted* but they just have to put in a *deleted* for *deleted*. Ho-hum.

And then moody pyro-girl is revealed to be *deleted*. That would be an interesting future movie if they show pyro-girl giving *deleted* to a fire-breathing, pink *deleted*. And wouldn't the title *deleted* be more appropriate than Todd McFarlane's? Just my opinion.

There's a new character, by-the-way, a gas-like spirit entity housed in a deep-diving-suit-like suit. He's quirky, a little bossy, and likable in a hellboy-doesn't-give-shyt-about-him way. I think he's more useful than fish-guy. Anyway, Hellboy 2 - The Golden *EGG* army - better catch in in video. I mean it's better you catch it in video, if at all. :)
