The first one was scary and really macabre, but this one is more about fantasy and sci-fi than the 'raise the dead, nazi' stuff. There are a lot of scary parts, especially at the beginning, but when you get down to it, it's a violent love story. =) Very cute.
A really good movie i think parent should think about.
This movie is great for someone 13+.
I think anyone under this age wouldnt get the material in this movie. And I think someone 10+ could stand the violence.
A year ago a movie like this was supposed to be good "I mean come on what happened"(qtd. The Dark Knight). The big red guy is a D**n girl in this one compared to the first one. The badass from the first movie is completely non existent in this one almost a different character all together. Plus every line that hellboy has is forced and doesn't feel right. The movie itself was made more into a joke after the original which was truly outstanding. I dont like the direction the movie went and where a possible third could go from here, which shouldn't even be a thought right now.
I think that the producers, actors, and anyone involved in making this movie are irresponsible and thoughtless as to how violence on the screen affects teen-agers and young children.
