Movie Review : Hellboy 2 - The Golden Army

Well, we went for another movie outing yesterday. Hellboy 2. Did you know that for first Hellboy, Malaysia changed the title to Super Sapiens? Wonder why the 2nd they didn't changed. And what's wrong with the word Hellboy anyway? Bengong..

Moving on. This movie tells a story about a legend of a truce between human and 'other' species. Long, long time ago, human managed to control all over the world by war. And in the process defeated this 'other' species. One day, a blacksmith offer the King of the 'other' species to build a special army. The Golden Army, indestructable and undefeated army. In order to control the army, a device created. Only the owner of the device can control the Army provided no challenge from other qualified challenger.

After they finished build the army, they fought in another war with the human. In the process, both power agreed to a truce or a peace treaty. Its like creating a border between 2 worlds. The King agreed and send the golden army to a hidden place. Kept secret. Prince Nuala, the King's son didn't agree with the truce and promised to take vengeance to the humankind later.

Cut story short, the device that supposed to be kept hidden found in the human world. As they began auctioning for this 'artifact', Prince Nuala came and claim the device as his species' own. This is the starting poing where Red(Hellboy) with his team get involve with this mess.

Apart from the war story, there's also a romantic story between Red and Liz. I cant imagine Red and Liz having a baby. Maybe a 'Red + Burning' baby huh? And Abe also had his love story. Hehe. See for yourself.

Moan of the movie

The early scene where the narrator describe about the history of the Human vs other species. Just lame. Its like watching Lego cartoon. Hehe.
