That’s cute.
MonkeyBot says:
I love the BOOYAH. Perlman is the bomb in that role. He was made for it.
Quin says:
I have so say despite the deficiencies of the first film the dry smartass characters were lovely. If the script, plot, and villain had only been better it would have been a real epic.
MonkeyBot says:
Agreed
Quin says:
I’m hoping the second flick can be a little more focused.
Rasputin was the worst mastermind I’ve ever seen and there were too many poorly written subvillains.
And then he turns into a squid. WTF.
MonkeyBot says:
Hahaha - yeah - I did like the clockwork villain, though - he was awesome!
Quin says:
That dude would have made a much better master villian if he hadn’t been a freakish pawn/had plastic surgery gone wrong/full of sand.
MonkeyBot says:
I liked the fact that he was kind of metaphysical/techno/cyberpunkish.
Quin says:
Definitely.
MonkeyBot says:
And yes, he would have been fine as a main villain if he would have been more defined. He was bad-ass as it was.
Quin says:
Yeah. My only waa-waa comes from the fact that the only character development they did surrounded the fact that he’d had more work done than Joan Rivers.
You’re a hardcore sand ninja, and you have Michael Jackson syndrome? Whaaa?
MonkeyBot says:
Well, that part was a bit weak. Not a “thriller” to be sure…
All that being said, I intend to see Hellboy II: The Golden Army on July 11. Here’s hoping there’s no undead Siberian squid dudes with immortal Nazi girlfriends and wind-up toys needing therapy in it.

[...] Here I go to all this trouble to outline why human beings not only oppress robots but then greatly misrepresent them on film, and what happens when I got to the movies to see something I’m really looking forward to? [...]
