Thoughts on Hellboy 2 and The Hobbit (spoiler free)
I am very happy that Guillermo Del Toro is directing The Hobbit. His direction, art and cinematography are astounding and gorgeous.
I am equally happy that he is not writing the plot or the dialogue for it. Because he does not seem to have grasped that a bunch of scenes is not the same thing as a movie, nor that trite and cliched dialogie is a bad thing.

Mind you, Tolkein already wrote a bit of that into the plot of The Hobbit...

My main beef was that Del Toro still can't pace and direct action very well.
7/10.
