The character direction in Hellboy 2 was awful. I don't know what happened. It was pretty great in the first one. I know Del Toro can direct actors, because he did an amazing job with Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone. Hellboy 2 is just an anomaly in that regard, but what it lacks in heart, it makes up for in visuals.
The funniest line in that film:

"Long ago, I too lost someone I loved. Perhaps I will tell you about it some day... But for now..."

Pffft. It's such a lazy cutting of a flashback sequence that you can almost see the stitches on the screen.
