Just kidding….but I got your attention, didn’t I?? Now, here’s Movie_Maven_Jr. to give you a 13-year old girls-eye view of these two films by Guillermo del Toro. We thought we’d try a new slant on the whole blog thing…an interview session. That way I only have to pay her 1/2 of what I get. Hi Jr., how goes it? I hate the title of this blog and I love comic books. That said, I love these movies. The end. Very funny, NOT. What, EXACTLY did you like? It’s a comic book movie, stuff explodes. I like them both, but I like the 1st one better because the 2nd one is a wee bit too “Pan’s Labryinth” for me. But I also LOVE “Pan’s Labryinth.” Could you be a bit…. No. …more specific please? And stop interrupting. Well, you really don’t need to watch the first one to see the 2nd one and understand it. What if you watch the first one first? Then you’ve seen both of them. (Hysterical laughter.) Come ON….your readers (all one of them) want to know. You’re mean!! The soundracks for them both ruled the world!!! Marco Belltrami did the first one and Danny Elfman did the 2nd one and I love them both!! The beginning credits for the first one is, like, the BEST music!! It’s, it’s cool!! I wish iTunes had it. What else? The characters are pretty cool. I like Abe (the blue, fishy-thing with legs) the most. And of course del Toro is an awesome director. Can I have my $.50 now? Because of this movie, I am so much more into comic books now. Batman too. But I can’t afford them because they are collectors’ editions. Can I have $1.00 for this one? Anyway, the special effects and makeup are great. I love Doug Jones. He’s scary-looking, I guess that’s why he hides under makeup. Ron Perlman is scary too, but he has an awesome Hellboy-ish voice. I love that voice, it’s, like, so awesome! O.K, O.K., that’s enough honey. Thanks for the input. What if I’m not done talking? Oh, look, here’s Movie-Maven_Jr._Jr. (age 8). She saw Hellboy II too after much bribing by her older sister. What did you think? It was a good movie. Abe’s awesome!! Abe’s awesome!! Liz is awesome!! The popcorn was good. I’m busy. Bye!! Stop interrupting your sister!! She only said that cuz I’d smack her if she didn’t. Don’t talk about her like that. Nobody cares about our arguments. Now end the blog and gimme a dollar!! Do I get anything too? Yeah, you both get to go to bed!! Good night all!!

Brilliant reviews–they made me want to go back and watch the first one again and sorry I’ve missed the second one. I’ll pick it up when it comes out on DVD, but the small screen just ain’t the same.
And Abe seriously rocks. Could you tell a difference in his voice in the second film? I know David Hyde Pierce didn’t provide the voice for the second film but I don’t know why. He’s probably tired of being cast as skinny weirdos, but, hey, if the shoe fits…okay, seriously, Abe Sapien may be a skinny weirdo, but he’s the coolest, smartest skinny weirdo there is.
Glad you liked the review(s) Christopher. Actually, I haven’t seen either movie yet (shhhh, but not my type at all..) My ex-husband and husband liked them and got Movie_Maven_Jr. hooked.
Not really, I was the first one to see ‘Hellboy’ so there (sticks tongue out!) Seriously, I had to bribe my little sister (Movie_Maven_Jr_Jr) for me to clean her room and not call her names for an entire week so we could see the movie. For some unexplained reason, she won’t watch the first one. It’s SOOOO GOOD. Doug Jones did a pretty good job as Abe’s voice. It didn’t sound too different from the first movie unless you’re really paying attention and looking for the difference. I think David Hyde-Pierce didn’t provide the voice for the second film because he was only the voice in the first film to tack his name on to the project to get more people to see it (I think I read that on imdb.com.) And, I’m putting a picture of Abe in my locker next to pictures of Heath Ledger as the Joker. I guess I have a psycho locker.
Always good to have a psycho locker. It prevents anyone from messing with you. Kind of like when I dressed up as Hannibal Lecter for Halloween. People didn’t want to come near me (I promised I wouldn’t bit but they wouldn’t believe me) the entire day, and they were wary of me for a long time afterwards.
By the way, even though you were kidding about Hellboy being turned into a musical it wouldn’t surprise me. Mel Brooks turning “The Producers” into a musical made sense, but the fact that he did it with “Young Frankenstein” just makes me cringe…and that’s one of my favorite films. And they made a musical of “Titanic”–not exactly an easy adaptation. And turning “The Full Monty”–another of my favorites–into a stage musical was just wrong.
You’re right, Christopher. Although, looking at all the previews and reviews of “Repo: The Genetic Opera” (mentioned in an earlier blog o’mine), if Darren Lynn Bousman has anything to do with it, I’d definitely go see “Friday Night Lights: The Musical” (although I do LOVE football!)
