BPRD wins the day

Earlier today I checked out Hellboy 2 and as guessed, was very impressed with it. I've always been a fan of practical effects movies where costumes, makeup and duct tape are more common then CGI so Del Toro has always had a soft spot in my heart. After 2 films he's created an original visual experience that I can only compare to the original Star Wars trilogy or Blade Runner. This is a world you can feel. I think G-Man's post hit it when he mentioned the shared memory of the Mos Eisley Cantina. Hellboy is filled with weird, believable stuff.

And then there's Johan Kraus. Voiced by Seth McFarlane of Family Guy fame, it is quite simply the greatest comic to film performance I've seen since Christopher Reeve. He NAILED it. If you thought Ron Perlman was Hellboy, you don't know what you're getting into when Krauss appears. His character's addition to the Hellboy movies is game changing. I'm so excited for the next one.
