What a terrible movie.
Flawed in everything. Acting. Directing. Writing, oh, especially the writing. Some of the dialogue is beyond terrible. and some of the scenes are even worse.
I’m a huge fan of Guillermo Del Toro, The Devil’s Backbone is one of my favourite movies of all time. And the rest of his are pretty special too, even Mimic is watchable. I always thought, here’s a guy that I’m willing to trust, willing to let him take me where ever his over active imagination wanted to take me, but now, I don’t know. But, Hellboy 2, is just plain unwatchable for roughly 95% of the duration. From the opening sequence with a young, ridiculous Hellboy, the tone was set for something that not only wasn’t going to take itself seriously, but wasn’t going to take the viewer seriously either.

It’s the second decade of the twenty-first century, and terrorism has escalated almost beyond control. New weapons are being spawned in remote basement labs, and no one feels safe. In North America, the FBI uses cutting-edge technology to thwart domestic terrorists. The War on Terror has reached a deadly stalemate. The FBI has been dispatched to deal with a new menace. Like the Anthrax threat of 2001, a plague targeted to ethnic groups has the potential to wipe out entire populations. But the FBI itself is under political assault. There’s a good chance that agents William Griffin, Fouad Al-Husam, and Jane Rowland will be part of the last class at Quantico. As the young agents hunt a brilliant homegrown terrorist, they join forces with veteran bio-terror expert Rebecca Rose. But the plot they uncover-and the man they chase-prove far more complex than anyone expects. Quantico is a selection of: Book-of-the-Month Club, Science Fiction Book Club, Military Book Club, Mystery Guild, American Compass Book Club, and Quality Paperback Book Club.
