I'm a sucker for the tentpole pics, no matter how bad the reviews.

This movie was not half bad. Charlize Theron just looks so damn good in close up. I'd see it again just for that.

Hancock has serious problems in its plot structure. It comes off as pretty nonsensical. But the film's first half was very good. It's worth watching once, but it's unfortunate that it couldn't live up fully to it's fresh take on the superhero genre.

I think the idea of a sort of drunken bum super'hero' who just wreaks havoc instead of helping people is absolutely fantastic. But apparently he comes to terms with how great power comes with great responsibility or some crap and I saw that one already, about fifty thousand times.
A shame to waste such a great idea. Oh, well.
This is pretty much the impression I'm getting as well. It's strange how the marketing campaign seemed to change halfway through from "throwing whales" to "generic hero arc". And I was really looking forward to what appeared to be a Captain movie.

Rated: Rating Pending

Synopsis: "With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world's toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy). After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman). Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development--pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann--the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him. -- © Universal Pictures"

Agreed. If the trailer is any indication, Pan's Labyrith won GDT alot of creative freedom.

I haven't seen the first one, would that preclude seeing the second and understanding what's going on?

Probably not too bad. This one looks like it's starting a whole new storyline, instead of continuing where the first left off.
