Hellboy II: The Golden Army Blu-ray (4.5 Stars)

I saw this movie three times now on the counties DVD and wanted my own for reasons that Roger Ebert once confessed he thought perplexing--"Why would anyone want to have a movie on VHS at home?"

In terms of aesthetics there are sound reasons for the question: scale of image, the startling wonder of a fresh print--one lacking quarter second marker, lines, pops, the sense of a shared experience, and more are valid and indisputable.

By I can see this is print, stop it and marvel at the artistic production values--at the incredibly rich visuals of this filmmaker to my heart's content.

I know the story will hold up and I can enjoy so much more and beyond what even the best movie reviewers could experience in their one time through experience in the preview movie rooms they enjoyed.
