She's definitely a cutie in a goth kind of way. I liked her scenes with Abe, but I think their subplot needed to be fleshed out a little bit more.
I don't know if this is going to make sense or not, but #2 kind of felt as though it reset Hellboy back to a more immature mindset which I thought he had outgrown in the latter half of the first film. Case in point, his shooting pictures of Tom Manning and actually posting them around the bureau, or Hellboy purposefully allowing himself to be blown out the window, just to satisfy his desire to be known, regardless of how the revelation of the bureau's existence would affect his friends.
I never expected them to become friends, but I expected they would try to be more civil to each other after the saved-Manning-twice/cigar bonding bit in #1. But I guess without that antagonism & disregard, the scene later in the film where the public is going ape-sh1t on him after he gave the woman back her baby & they just act ungrateful/fearful/hateful wouldn't work, as it's a classic "Careful what you wish for" moment.
But that's just me. Flame me as you see fit.
Maybe we'll see Japan or an African country next time around.
