I admire Del Toro's enthusiasm for the strange world of monsters. This image resembles Peter Jackson's beard and has a "bad taste" similar to Peter Jackson: endless weird worlds and magical elves have created Peter's classic "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" also made Del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" favored by Oscar. For the next two "The Hobbit" (written by Peter and directed by Del Toro), naturally It is full of anticipation!
Looking back at the two "Hellboy" films, it feels a bit like a small test. In a movie adapted from a comic, the setting of the storyline is a difficult problem. Obviously, the Baron series does not plan to put much effort into it. The key is to focus on this humorous, sensitive, irritable, kind, and lovely red-headed man with many flaws. Personality portrayal.
The first one successfully created a rough and anti-trend superhero, with equally prominent character advantages and disadvantages: he is ruthless in fighting crime, but hesitant in the face of emotions, just like any shy little boy. He has a strong desire to perform, and likes to be in the limelight. After every battle, he faces the V-shaped POSE of the media, and he goes home drinking beer and watching his own news and TV reports...
The story of the second part has been strengthened, and the underground world The role of the prince and princess of the dragon and phoenix is very interesting, and the telepathy of Princess Nuala and the mermaid is even more amazing - if everyone could "read minds" with their palms facing each other, there would not be so many men and women in the world.
Of course, it is also embarrassing that the brothers and sisters of the prince and princess have the same heart, and they died together. But I think in the final decisive battle, Prince Nuada should be able to win a big victory, and the big man is looking for cigars. When he is only one step away from destroying the world, let the princess commit suicide to kill her brother. It shows the value of sacrifice, and the love that ended just after the budding of the human fish is even more soul-stirring. The current arrangement is that the baron defeated the prince and the princess committed suicide, which seems a bit unnecessary.
Another highlight of the movie is that it shows the great love of a family in the world: the princess' brother-sister bond, the father-daughter bond, the budding love, and the good wishes of peaceful coexistence with human beings. Dissolve the knot with death. The film also focuses on depicting the noisy and mutually attached relationship between the Baron and his girlfriend Liz: after the big red quarrel with Liz, he hangs out with the murlocs and sings "I can't smile without you", at that moment It's really touching: it doesn't matter what kind of race, what kind of appearance, human beings and the children of hell can also make the world full of love.
Liz's plot with the Baron's wounds heralds even bigger waves in the next movie: the winged god predicts that the Baron will bring destruction, and Liz's love transcends everything and insists on healing his wounds - just like Prince Nuada said: "You are closer to us than humans." Hellboy was originally the son of Satan. After being summoned to the human world as an infant, he was raised by a kind professor. Will the evil in his heart be inspired by some factors? This is the story that could happen in the next Hellboy.
