Okay, I’m not a huge fan of Hellboy. I saw the first movie and I thought it was okay – better than I expected. That being said, I’m not really all that excited about the sequel. A lot of online forums are just going crazy over it, but here at Pop Critics we haven’t really said much one way or the other.
However, this new poster for Hellboy II: The Golden Army is one of the coolest posters I’ve seen so far this year. The colors, the imagery, and the tagline (Believe it or not – He’s the good guy) all work together to make this poster very effective. For their sake, I hope this is the poster they use.
If you haven’t seen it, here is the trailer for the film.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army opens July 11, 2008.
Awesome looking poster!
Re Hellboy, the comic is much better than the movie. I really think Magnola is a unique artist in his drawings and an ok writer. When the 1st Hellboy came out I thought it should be animated. In fact the animated movies are much better than the live action movie. I don’t think Hellboy translates well to live movies. The main monster looks like an outcast from the Power Rangers, and I think I saw some of the other “monsters” from Pan’s Labyrinth. I have a feeling the next Hellboy will be direct to video. I hope I am wrong, hate to hate all the time.

The first Hellboy did very well in theaters and the second one looks to do even better. If they make a third I seriously doubt it’ll be direct to video.
@Jason well quality wise I guess was more my point. I think I expect too much.
