"Hellboy 2", like traditional American heroism movies, is mostly a story of a guy with superpowers who comes to save the world and save mankind. Before watching the "Hellboy" series, we were familiar with this kind of story structure. Earlier, there was Uncle Superman who liked to wear his underwear over the outside, and later it was Spider-Man who liked to crawl around the wall in tight clothes. , and then rushed out the big ticket mutant X-Men's Wolverine, Storm Goddess, and the Fantastic Four. I always feel that there are so many mutants in the United States. If China's "Journey to the West" and "Liao Zhai" are put on the big screen, foreigners will exclaim how there are so many demons and gods in China.
These guys all have the basic appearance of normal people, with complete limbs, nose and eyes, but they just fly here and there from time to time, or they breathe fire when they are unhappy, but they are also quite close to humans, and they will always be affected by foreigners. When species invades, our uncle Superman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine will always come out to defend the peace of mankind at the first time. Although Hellboy did not get everyone's affirmation in the first appearance, the second appearance does not matter. Be more shiny.
To win among the heroes, of course, it is necessary to compete for who is more stylish, whose characters are fuller, whose scenes are more popular, and whose enemies are more perverted. Based on the above points, "Hellboy 2" did a good job this time. This time, not only the Hellboy and the Fire-breathing girl with long horns on their heads and big tails behind their backs played the main theme, but also murlocs and steammen. The equipment of these two guys is also quite eye-catching and stylish. The characters are also more emotionally interesting. Hellboy and the Fire-breathing girl have already had a love crystallization, and our murloc is also in love with Princess Nora. At the end, Hellboy and his lover quit the rivers and lakes to raise children. This is more or less a foreshadowing of the director for the sequel. I think that when Hellboy appears in the third episode, he will definitely hold a fire-breathing Hellboy in his hand.
Several confrontation scenes in the movie are very hot and spectacular, allowing the audience to see so many monsters and gods at once, somewhat in the style of the "Lord of the Rings" series. Those goblins that eat blood and eat human flesh in groups, the bean demons with long branches standing in the sky, the angels with four wings and countless eyes, and tens of millions of golden robots, these demon gods are very special in design. I felt a bit familiar, I felt that these demon gods were very similar to the gods and monsters in "Pan's Labyrinth". Later, I searched the Internet and found out that the two movies were made by the same director. That's normal. The cognition of gods and monsters always has its own fixed pattern. In the movie, Prince Nora, the BOSS, plays a good spear. Prince Nora's Chinese Kung Fu is quite good. It seems that Chinese Kung Fu is more and more popular with foreign directors and audiences.
If you also like Superman, Spider-Man, X-Men, then don't miss the second wonderful appearance of Hellboy.
