Citazioni:

Prince Nuada: [to Nuala, catching her in the library] Very creative of you. The parchment was of no importance. The cylinder...is very interesting
[picking up the burning chamber and burning the imprint into the table]
Prince Nuada: We will find the Golden Army here. As for the crown peice, I know it's here.I can feel that much in you. Father always tried so hard to shield your heart from mine.
[pacing around the bookcase]
Prince Nuada: It's in one of the books and I will find it.
[holding a book, before throwing it down]
Prince Nuada: Blue? You always look so beautiful in blue. Blue, poetry, love, and lust. Only words. I will find it.

Hellboy II - Back And Better Than Ever!

I just got back from a preview screening of "Hellboy II And The Golden Army" and of all the films I've seen so far this summer Hellboy is the ONLY one to exceed my expectations. I love the second films of a super hero franchise (Superman II, Spiderman II, The Incredible Hulk) because the heroes have been introduced and the origins are out of the way so the story can begin from the start unfettered. This film is not just about Action, Action, Action but about character development and their interaction. I liked "Pan's Labrynth" but felt a little bit let down when the creature's personalities were not explored enough. This film takes the time to establish who Abe Sapien is beyond being defined as a fish man. Johann Krauss is a great uptight Teutonic addition to the old team with a few tricks up his sleeve and Hellboy & Liz's professional and personal relationship get more play in this film. The detail in the troll market is amazing and the story rings true to the Mike Mignola comics without having to lift a story arc from any one specific past issue. Bravo! Guillermo del Toro! I can't wait for Hellboy III.
