Hellboy vs. Hellboy II - Which do you prefer?

massphatness · 11-22-2008, 02:14 PM

I know it's the conventional wisdom for Del Toro to get props for HBII, but honestly, I enjoyed the original more. It was a movie that didn't require any heavy lifting on my part. I could just sit back and enjoy it. While I admit the effects were better in II, I found the whole story to be rather boring.

I think the original had a much better storyline.. I just didn't get into Hellboy 2. (Although the action sequences were pretty good)

Overall, I think DOS was better. It's hard to find movies that improve at the sequal. I wonder how III will be.

I understand both have Selma Blair in them so that would make them equally as good to me.

Unless we want to breakdown screen time and outfits and so on.

I have not seen HBII but I will thanks to Selma

I'm with Dumb & Dumber on this one!!! (Sorry, they didn't make a Smiley that said I'm with Stupids)

I thought the part with Abe and HB singing Berry Manilow was ridiculous!!!

Hellboy II is better because "The Admiral" played Hellboy in II!
