I figure I should clarify. Hellboy 2 is really two movies, one is Hellboy, the other is, "OH my god this is Jim Henson's Muppets on crack!" Oddly enough I enjoyed the muppets on crack portion of the movie a hell of a lot more then I enjoyed the Hellboy sections. It felt like the characters were all askew compared to even the first movie, let alone the series.

Really, if I could have gotten this movie with the Hellboy portions removed, I would have enjoyed it so much more. In this way its similar to Constantine, if you had changed the name and main character of either movie, I could have sat down and probably enjoyed it, but as these are supposed to be very specific characters, it just fell flat.

It just over all felt like an excuse for Del Toro to design some really nice and interesting creatures, and then he had to graft that onto an existing franchise.
