Hellboy II: The Golden Army – a quick review
The story: The muscular, kitten-loving, red fella has to stand up against an over-ambitious prince and his ancient army of indestructible, golden warriors - great movie! Watch it!
In a nutshell: Hellboy is craving for recognition for his heroic deeds, very much to disliking of his superiors. Simultaneously, he’s got a few personal life issues with his moody girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair, hot!). Luckily, as he faces his next challenge, the narrow-minded but aspiring Prince Nuada Hellboy can count on his psychic pal Abe 
Flickcritique says: WOOOOOOW! What a great comic adaptation! Hellboy2 rocks! Let me summarize the movie quickly:
- acting performance: 9/10 points. Kudos to Ron Perlman, well done!
- plot: 7/10 points. Could be slightly more logical but I did not mind really.
-
sense of humor: 10/10 points. Laughed my ass off!
-
CGI: 10/10 points. Particularly the Golden Army warriors are awsome!
For me, this movie is even better then the first Hellboy flick. The main characters definitely evolved and appear more mature now. I even liked the new ones, even though I was skeptical at the first sight. The explanation for the tooth ferry tale was brilliant and so were the tooth ferries themselves - evil little bastards 
A funny fact: the scenes that were supposed to be in Giant’s Causeway/Northern Ireland, however it did not look like Giant’s Causeway at all [yes, I have been there]. Anyways, Red’s sense of humor was making it up for any flaws the script had. Loved the movie!
My favorite conversation:
A: Nice baby.
B: I am not a baby. I am a tumor.
Conclusion: What are you waiting for? Watch that cool movie, you gonna like it! 
Watch it if you liked: the first movie about Hellboy (2004) is the only one that comes to my mind.

The Dark Knight - read the critic now
In a nutshell: Joker is back for another round again the Dark Knight aka the Batman. This time the battle is just about Gotham’s souls – a bit long but good
The story: Joker is back in Gotham city, regrouping his paladins to strike back. This time he is up not only against Bruce Wayne, Batman’s high society alter ego but also the Head of the Gotham Police Department Commissioner Gordon and the city’s newest hero district attorney Harvey Dent. As the battle heats up as both sides figure out things are different then they seem to be…
Flickcritique says: The movie is good but way too long. Heath Ledger aka The Joker is amazing. No doubt it is the role of his life. I am truly sad, he is not going to act again 
The rest, Christian Bale aka Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal aka Rachel Dawes (Batman’s ex), Aaron Eckhart aka Harvey Dent (Gotham’s district attorney) they are all okay but never even close to what Ledger managed to achieve. The beginning is too long and I felt like this movie has been stretched purely for the purpose of making it longer but every time I saw Joker’s mimics I was kinda okay with it
Conclusion: Watch it, it’s good
Best movie quote [by Joker]: “Why so serious?”
Watch it if you liked: Batman Begins (2005), Spider Man 3 (2007), The Incredible Hulk (2008), basically any super hero movie
