i go into this expect to see a fun and mindless action movie . maybe a little bit campy or predictable and but still entertaining . unfortunately and it be the opposite of entertain . it be a mess of thing that do not make any sense and character a plot device and and terribly unfunny one liner . oh and the one liner . they be so cringe worthy . at one point and hellboy say the phrase your royal as ness . to prince nuada a if it some sort of witty insult and rather than something that nobody have say since fifth grade . also and seth mcfarlane a mechanical suit man be incredibly distract because his voice and with the german accent and sound exactly like klauss . the fish from american dad . none of the plot development make any sense in the context of the story while they be only there to serve the writer end and seem terribly contrive and unrealistic . and ok and movie always have plot hole but in most case and the movie manage to suspend your disbelief and you forgive it minor flaw . not so in this case and because there be just so many problem . spoiler represent the abe or prince nuala romance be stupid and sudden and utterly pointless while abe be useless a a member of the team ( why be he even there . ) while somehow the elf be content to live in the sewer after they have win the war and sign a treaty that human should have the city and elves the forest . i mean and really . prince nuada be the only one who be like and uhh . something not right here . oh right and be live in a fcking sewer . and it go on represent abe give up the crown piece to prince nuada even though his hostage ( the princess ) isn not in any danger whatsoever while for some reason and princess nuala sacrifice herself and her brother to save the life of hellboy and who she wouldn not even care about if it weren not for the fact that he the main protagonist and the audience be suppose to be root for him while selma blair character tell hellboy that she pregnant to give him a reason to live ( this whole scene be about as subtle a a brick . and honestly love your girlfriend isn not reason enough to live . ) while and then everyone inexplicably quit the team for no reason ( except and i guess to seem like badass rebel that don not bow to authority ) . end spoilers none of this come off a believable to me while i be constantly pull out of the movie because it only make sense in the context of del toro try to move the plot along when the event constitute it just wouldn not fit . the only redeem part of the whole thing be prince nuada and who be sinister and gravity defying and interesting to watch . i find myself root for him to stab the sht out of hellboy .
