No, I shot the bus driver.
Too anyone who's ever bitched about Yaoi fangirls pairing anyone together just cause, I present fanart of Zabuza/Rinoa she does kinda look like Haku...
So movie reviews/thoughts/whatever. I'm gonna put a lot of space at the bottom on each's LJ-cut, so you can look at one without seeing the others. These are in order of like...hardcore...
These are not BY ANY MEANS spoiler free.
Was cute cute cute. All over cute. Some gorgeous animations, and dealt nicely with the whole "HEY GUYS WERE FUCKING OVER THE PLANET!" thing without being to...the Happening.
Also, Micheal Crawford ♥ and if you look at Wall-e you really CAN tell he's designed off a young Micheal Crawford!
And uhm...it's cute. yeah. Go see it.
That was the best review ever.
HOMG I loved it.
The visual...freaking A the visuals. Like everything was so rich and stunning and PERFECT. I love the concept of Urban fey, so like...it was a happy happy idea for me from the start. I loves Nuala and Nuada's designs (I might cosplay Nuala if Matt ever actually DOES his Hellboy costume, but we haven't figured out Abe for Ju yet)
There were SO many place in this movies I was busting out laughing. Like literally rolling around laughing. I love the character of Krauss (And I know he's not the way he is in canon, but I loved what he was) I love the fairy people, and Abe changing "voices" did not bother me at all, I thought he did fine taking over from David Hyde Pearce. I don't think I've ever seen him in a speaking role before (Did he do the Pan's voice, or just it's body?) Also, he was so pretty.
The bad: Liz sucked. I think it was a cross between me not liking where they took her character, and Selma Blair having the acting skills of a potato peeler. Actually I think the Potato Peeler in batman had more of an impact then her. The whole plot line involved with her was...blah. Pacing was a bit rushed, and the thing with the angel of death thing was not used for as good as it could be, it felt rather stuck on.
And the ending was very obvious. Even though it made me cry buckets, I also knew from like...half way through the movie. And it really bothered me that neither Liz nor Hellboy stopped to really see if Abe was all right.
Also, hot sexy twincest.
This review's probably gonna be heavier on the bad because the good is so overwhelming and really does not need to be touched on as everyone else probably is, and if I tried to list everything good I'd be here forever. I would have to sit down and think long and hard and re-watch a lot of movies before I declared it the best super hero movie ever, but hot damn it's up there. Awesome plot (I really expected them not to wrap it up, and was impressed they did.), kick ass acting, nice special effect (the kind you don't notice, which are the best kind) and...yeah. VERY VERY GOOD movie, probably the best made blockbuster movie of the year. Go see it. I love the nods to the cartoon so so much, and if you haven't figured out the Joker is awesome he's uhm...awesome. A kick ass mix of really, truly disturbing, but also funny...in a really truly "Oh GOD did I just laugh at that?!" way.
Now to the bad: Even with a new actress, I don't like Rachel. But at least now I don't like her as a CHARACTER not as wanting that actress to stop being in my real of existence. She wasn't flat or anything, just didn't particularly like her. Though i thought her relationship with Harvey was well done.
I REALLY liked Harvey. A lot. There was a lot of place early on where it was heavy on the "Hey...hey guys..hey guy we're FORESHADOWING!" but I still loved him...
However that two face make up/CGI...oh god. I WILL give them at least that he WAS right out of the hospital, so my issues early with healing time/infection aren't valid (It wouldn't have healed, and there was no time for infections) However...just...ugh. It looked so tacky and cheap horror movie zombie, and I know he's suppose to be half and half, but the Joker's also suppose to be bleached white. These movies lean towards realism, could we have had a little more notice of the way a face contours, and that kinda damage wouldn't have EXACTLY been half and half?
And I could have swallowed one huge flaw in basic medical logic with it, but I can name at least three of the top of my head (a)With so much muscle damage, he wouldn't have been able to talk/see/control most of his face, (b)since he wasn't taking painkillers moving around so much...I'm sorry but there is a point that your body just shuts down from pain and you can delay it with things like adrenaline, but taking out your enemy over a period of time=/=a short burst of adrenaline to get you out of danger, and (c)you have SO much fluid in your head in that area that the leaking, and the missing would just outright send you into shock. And these are just from a back seat medical student.
It just pushed suspension of disbelief too far. And I don't think it would have bothered me SO much if it wouldn't have been so EASY to work around. Say he got skin grafs, but the Joker interrupted the surgery so they were fucked up. Or just that they looked horrible. Even healed up burn victims aren't pretty, and it would be more horrifying while they were still stitched up and swollen. I'm sure I could pull some more ways out of my ass and I'm not even getting paid for it.
And apparently I thought about that more then anyone needs to since I got pretty teal deer there...eh, like I said when something THIS good, the flaws are easier to discuss.
The boats also got to me a bit. Not the convict one, I thought that was perfect, but the other one...I can believe 95% of those people would do that. But since it was set up that only ONE person needed to push the button, I didn't buy it. Specially since there was at least one mother with a young child.
Also, wtf at Scarecrow for 5 second? I expected his role to be bigger and it felt like a throwaway. I don't care too much cause one Scarecrow movie was enough but it felt odd in such a well thought out movie. Then again there wasn't much ROOM for anything else, so maybe deleted scenes...
And it wasn't a big thing, but either they should not have had Gordon's daughter, or they should not have been like "No. no nothing to see her...no, this head...don't pay attention to it." It was awkward the way they were dancing around her. You know most any fan was like "SCREW HIS SON WE WANNA SEE BABY BATGIRL!"
ALSO. NO HARLEY. D:
Feel free to comment. Agree or disagree, debate or throw in additional opinions. Just keep in mind everyone has their own view of things.
Also, Watchman, and The Spirt, and all the previews we saw pretty much looked awesome.
