Hellboy 2 anyone?

November 21, 2008

So, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army was released on DVD last week. Has anyone purchased it yet? I’m thinking about it, but I had somewhat mixed feelings about the latest Hellboy installment.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the chocolate-eating, evil-fighting demon from hell, and the artistry was amazing. (You can always count on Guillermo del Toro for creative creatures and first-rate animation.)

However, I thought the plot left something to be desired. Some aspects were interesting (Prince Nuada and Princess Nuala’s fatal connection is a fun twist), but by and large, I thought the storyline lacked subtlety and wasn’t particularly creative. Yes, of course environmental issues are important, but don’t hit me over the head with them, OK?

Still…it’s a fun movie, and I’ll probably cave in soon. If you haven’t already, check it out and see for yourself. In the meantime, are you interested in drawing your own hellish creatures? Check out Hell Beasts by Jim Pavelec.

You’ll soon be drawing fiends that’ll scare your sister and send shivers down your spine!
