movie mania-2

some more movie reviews...
hellboy-what were they thinking???all right, nice special effects...nice action sequences...but there's something called a story people!!?!! i mean some gateway is opened for the gods of chaos by a supposedly immortal guy who's sold his soul to the devil to enable the nazis to win ww2 !!!! i mean how lamer can you get???sure hitler did a lot of evil things in his lifetime,but this???
van helsing-count dracula+frankenstein+werewolves+an agent of the papacy out to destroy evil...more like a ramsay potboiler than a hollywood production...dracula can't be killed by the conventional methods...god only knows why...but this movie proclaims a universal truth...the desire to procreate is the driving force of any lifeform, even if it's an evil dude who's made a covenant with the devil to become a half bat undead creature...
troy-high on hype, low on deliverance...this epic(???) movie tries to tell the tale of the famed trojan war and its heroes...it gives you a very concise rendering of the war and only two heroes and a villain...achilles, hector of troy and agamemnon, king of the greeks, respectively...the rest are just insipid idiots fighting for some reason or the other...where is ulysses(or odysseus in greek)???where are the twins castor and pollux???this is another movie which fails to live up to the book on which it is based...
more movies later...
