Hellboy

You never want your Hellboy to drag. But efforts to keep the budget down, maybe, yield long dialogue scenes in empty hallways. Not otherworldly and not really “fun.” It's not a complete train wreck. When the action starts, it’s suitably spectacular. But it feels like it’s lacking something. Urgency. Spectacle. Zaniness. And maybe that something is a little bit of… Guillermo del Toro.
