Poor writing lead to bad dialogue and some very uninteresting scenes including the action sequences.

The special effects were good but many of creatures seem to just take on the look and feel of those ones from Pan's Labyrinth.

The elves in this movie do not even come close to what an Elf (we are talking Tolkien here) is about philosophically and or even as a race. This appears to be an attempt at a darker elf, but not carried off well.

The best character in this movie was the Prince elf, but his actions are in direct contradiction to him being an elf to begin with. Kudos to the actor that stuck out with this role and did a great job despite bad dialogue and ill-conceived storyline moments that left me wondering where the movie was actually headed..besides the obvious fight scene at the end.

Sorry, but this movies takes a wrong turn at the very beginning with a confusing opening show Hellboy as young and ..dare I say..dopey looking kid with no clue.

Another downside to this was the lack of David Hyde Pierce doing the voice over work for Abe Sapien. This oversight destroyed the character for me and left a rather dry rendition in it's place.

This movie is not really worth seeing, stick to the first Hellboy movie and no other. or get a different guy next time. Guillermo really is not that great of a director or writer..etc...

Some of the dialogue was..well terrible. The 2 writers on this are not know any great capability when it comes to story telling and the director should be held accountable for not either firing them or holding them accountable for the bad dialogue and making them re-write the dialogue for the scenes

Some background scene music was a uhh..a little questionable. A monkey could have picked better music. Not sure who's decision it was on the music here but it seemed out of place. Classis music mistakes in movie history "Legend". Some idiot though the American audiences needed something more poppish and put tangerine dreams music in and took out the full classically written piece by Jerry Godlsmith. Entirely different movie with the Original score (they released it with original score on DVD, I own it.)

I liked the new actress just fine and had no problems with here in the role. The guy who played the son was terrible though..back to acting classes. In fact though both you main actors needed help in the acting category.

Movie also seemed like it was cut down for time, felt like we missed a few things

Despite all that the movie was pretty good. Strong plot, Visual effect were great, action sequences were exceptional.

Get better writers and kick these 2 to the curb. Oh, their names...by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar

And another director if he can't recognize bad dialogue. His name Rob Cohen

They don't make them like this anymore, no flashy effects to help the film along.

Great script, great character work by everyone in the film. While the cavalcade of stars in this film is rather impressive that does not always translate into a great film.

This movie manages to make it all work though. Sets are designed to give the viewer more of a live theater type of appeal which helps to keep the storyline as the main focus.

This deserves to be on DVD and definitely would be worth the buy, Yet sadly is not available. If you get a chance to see this on TV or anywhere else, it's worth the watch
