Improved action?

[Savage]

Unless something has changed. Kroenen will definately be in HB2.

As a cameo.

I thought the action in Hellboy was fine honestly. Fit the spirit of the comic very well. No fancy stuff really, just heavy hits.

Wirework sure could use some work though.

I'm sure Del Toro confirmed he wont make an appearance, cant find the article though so i maybe mistaken.

And your right about the wirework, it was poor at times in HB and i think we all know what parts i'm talking about. But other than that, i just didnt think the fights were anything exciting, and i never got the sense that HB would lose, which is something i hope for in the sequel.

What? Didn't you like HB hanging there in mid-air with his feet going nowhere like a big red cartoon character?t:t:

I like to call it the Scooby.

Erm, no lol. I hated it, thought they should have cut it lol!

 

[TheShadowCat]

Yeah, I have to admit I thought it was a bit less than professional when I saw him doing his Wile E. Coyote impersonation. Though I do like the Scooby comment.

Yeah i just thought it was a moment that totally took you out of the movie, the scen, other than that 10 second snippett, is a good scene and realistic looking, so i dont know why they kept it in.

 

[Mike]

I never even noticed the scene. It was that big of a deal?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Oh yeah it was a terrible scene, definately should have been cut, i noticed it first time.

 

[TheShadowCat]

Yeah, the bridge is collapsing and there's HB hanging in mid-air spinning his wheels as it were. I have a feeling they couldn't reshoot the scene, so they had to go with what they had.

>^^<

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I dont understand why they just didnt cut that little 10 second segment, would have made the whole scene a lot better IMO.

 

[TheVileOne]

Just saying, I'd like to see Kroenen actually *fight* someone in this movie. Be it Abe or someone else. That is if Kroenen does show up.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think he will get no more than a cameo, if he is in it at all.

 

[TheShadowCat]

The last I heard, Kroenen will be in a 'don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-'im' cameo.

My personal thought is that we'll see him escaping that pit probably during the ending credits. But that's just my theory, so no holding me to it.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

HHHMMMMM, maybe, or perhaps he will be preserved in the BRPD somewere.

The action scenes in the first film weren't great but weren't horrible. The lack of a true villian was more troubling. The sequel needs another director.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Welll yeah that was the problem they were just average in the first movie. But i disagre about HB2 needing a new director, i wouldnt want anyone else but GDT on this!

Anyway, action almost always improves in CB movie sequels, take X2, Spidey 2, Blade II and Batman Returns for prime examples.

The sequel needs a new director like I need another hole in my head.

No, it doesn't. There isn't another director out there who's going to treat this movie with as much heart and soul as GDT. Other directors will just make it an action movie and say, "Plot? What's that?"

>^^<

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Exactly, it shows how much GDT cares about this that he was shopping HB2 round to other studio's instead of directing Halo, most directors would have just forgot about it, GDT's love for the character will show on screen IMO.

Having alot of passion for the film doesn't make you a good filmmaker nor does it necessarily mean you're the right person to direct. Hellboy as a character was written well but where's the story? There was no balance in the first film. It takes more than love for a character to create a successful movie.

 

[monkeygust]

...There was no balance in the first film...

Explain.

You certain you watched the movie? I suggest you go back and rewatch it.

[zanos]

No thank you. I got enough sleep last night.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Well i havent seen a GDT movie i didnt like, granted i havent seen all of his movies, but i am a big fan of Blade II and Hellboy and wouldnt want anyone else on this movie.
