very good (2009-01-06) Rating: 5/5
I'm in iraq and it always takes a few days but it came in round 8-10 days which is still pretty good. Cause most stuff takes two weeks but 8 days is pretty much the best yall get.
One for the Fans (2009-01-06) Rating: 5/5
Visually, Viscerally, and in the context of the original fans of HELLBOY, this film is excellent.There is far more detail, far more of the mythos that has been created in other films. At one point in the extras, it is even stated that HELLBOY II is a sequel to PAN'S LABYRINTH, which is kind of odd, because I thought HELLBOY II was a sequel to the First HellBoy. A very extreme fan of Helboy told me that Hellboy II was more true to the HellBoy Series, and it was then that I thought, aha thats why it feels so different. Its not really moving on from the First film, its kind of doubling back and covering ground that maybe the creators thought they should cover in the first film.

The characters are more fleshed out in Hellboy II, so in that respect, its more detailed, but I guess it was not what I was expecting, which I guess is good. Since I did enjoy it. And the groundwork is definitely laid for a HELLBOY III if that is ever touted. But in the meantime, this is a pretty good show. The Visuals are great, the audio is great... its a Great experience, however it IS very different to the first HELLBOY.
The Triple disc is worth it if you are willing to filter through some drivel. The Commentaries are good, however Del Toro makes it feel like a Film School commentary, but occasionally he does get entertaining, which is odd, because his Documentary material is mostly good. I say mostly good, but some of it on disc 2 is bordering on boring.The Commentary on disc one is mostly fun, but anything with Selma Blair is kind of nice to listen to, no matter what, but I guess I have a bias. The rest of the DVD extras expand on the rather contradictory theme of the sometimes
good, sometimes boring theme, but nothing inbetween. Del Toro's work seems to specialise in polarising any fans.

Regardless, the end product here is great, and to a large extent, seeing how Del Toro got that product is very Fascinating. Also, the Digital Copy goes great on the Classic 120 Gig Ipod, with Great Sound.
If you are lucky enough to get the Special Pack from BEST BUY, the Bonus Model and Documents are extremely cool... well worth another 40 bucks or so.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! (2009-01-05) Rating: 4/5
Today is my 19th Birthday and I received this as a Birthday present! I thought it was really good and just as good as the first! This time, Hellboy and his crew has to stop a Prince from raising the Golden Army and taking over the world. Abe falls in love with the Price's sister. I highly recommend HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY!!!

This was horrible. They took Hellboy and made him a sissy. Everyone has a right to an opinion and that's cool, I just disagree with this one being any good. I ended walking out of the movie theater when it came out. I just tried to sit down and watch it again because it was on TV and after suffering through the whole thing. I know I was right to have left. Sure Pan's Labrynth was good but that does not mean that you have to like everything del Toro does. All they did was visual while the story itself either sucked or sucked the persona of Hellboy. Really, Freaking singing and sobbing over relationships? WTH? Why would they even include that scene? Trying to Humanize him for what? It's an action fantasy not a campaign for congressman. But it's ok, for most ppl this will be great since it's made for the masses. If you liked Idiocracy you will love this.
