My Comment :

i’d give the movie 7/10 (i want to give 8….but…hmm)

I remember seeing the first one 4 years ago and being entertained by it, so when i watch the trailer I chose to see the sequel, Unfortunately, it turned out to be a little disappointment.

Scenes obviously ended to be followed with expected laughs from the audience but just weren’t always funny and the romantic subplots did seem to me to get quite annoying and generic and maybe wasted valuable screen time. The ending with the Golden Army from the title wasn’t realised to the extent it could’ve been and felt too easily over and done with.

Not as funny as it thinks it’s is, with a lot of one-liners not make me laughs nor getting a real emotional connection when main characters’ lives were in danger, it just felt like it could’ve been so much more. The climax too felt generic and resolved too conveniently and predictably and as aforementioned, the full power of the Golden Army felt on our world would’ve been cool to see, and it ended like a candle…. I don’t think it’s a better sequel.

The only redeeming value of this movie are the visually stunning graphics, very cool. and i still like some part of this movie but i was expecting more to this movie because I love the previous Hellboy.
