Movie: Hellboy 2

One of TODS' Mythology students works at the video store and often recommends movies for us or gives us a thumbs-up/thumbs-down on movies we're considering. (He was the one who, when he saw us about to rent Beowulf, recommended the far superior Beowulf and Grendel - we got both, and quite agreed with his assessment.) When he saw that we were getting Hellboy 2, he shook his head; he didn't think we'd like it.

I actually liked it quite a lot! ( possible spoilers )
