My New No.1 Villain !! ~sorry Darth Maul

Prince Nuada
After watching Hellboy 2: The Golden Army yesterday, I just can't stop thinking about the villain in it. He's an ultimate fighter, ambitious, vicious, smooth and of course, Brit accented. He is Prince Nuada, son of the Elf King. He fights for his right as an elf to live freely in his world, the forests, even if it means killing off mankind [mostly city folks] who cares not for the natural beauty they deliberately destroy to gain more power over the lands. He cares not for fame and fortune. His title as a prince is way beyond deserving than the princes in the human world.

I too think his father, the king, is too weak. Surrendering to the dictating human mind and fooling himself that doing nothing is the only choice for survival [but if you find yourself in a real-life hostage situation, please ignore the criticism for it is true, just not so in the movies]. If they want to remain on this earth they should reveal themselves as they are no more than fairytales in the human world.

Other than that mega fighting spirit, he has skills man! This, I have to applaud actor Luke Goss for putting in so much effort into the fight scenes. Actually they are the only parts worth watching the movie for.

I don't know about the comic versions and all but I think some scenes are just truly unnecessary. Plus, Liz! What the heck is your function in the movie other than being the bitchy girlfriend and pregnant to Red's twins?! She keeps holding a gun around in a fierce yet blank stance but fails to do anything until the end. That goes the same to you too Abe. If my Axel Rozz character was in this movie, she'd definitely, no doubt would be fighting on Prince Nuada's side, other than falling in love with him. I had to make that a statement.

So he looks like a corpse with a post-mortem job done on his face but hey, look at Darth Maul. It suits him anyway. Lovely beasts.

All and all, for this movie I rate it 7/10 stars. Mainly for the fighting scenes of Prince Nuada, stunts, special effects and costumes. The puppets look fine and if they didn't try to make them look like they're talking I might've given 7.5/10. Some scenes give negative points and you can thank Liz for that. Selma Blair is not to blame though, I like her style.

Later days.
