For a film that looked so great in the trailers, this is incredibly awful.
It was nice that they used John Hurt to play a younger version of Father. It was annoying that they completely wrote out the young agent from the 1st movie who is only mentioned as "having been sent to the Arctic" and thats it.
We get a new member of the team but I really hate him so won't mention him any further. Jeffery Tambor plays his role as annoying agent in charge very well. The new enemies look incredibly bad (Someone nicked their ideas from the Elves of LOTR & The Wraith of Stargate Atlantis).
Basically this is Hellboy & friends trying to stop these baddies finding 3 parts of a crown that gives them access to an unbeatable army. It's a crap plot, pacing is awful & the film feels at least 200 minutes too long. Putting the end sequence on top of clockwork echoes the end of the 1st film too much, almost like they didn't have any new ideas.
All the fight sequences are rubbish & very overdone, the movie just tries too hard.
The original was a much better movie, Avoid this.
