Over the weekend Pixar's Up floated past The Incredibles total of $261,441,092 to become Pixar's second biggest film ever. Ice Age 3 also opened to a modest $67 million with just $42.5 mil coming over the actual weekend. This less than stellar opening is another disappointment for Fox. It looks like Wolverine still has a strong chance of being their biggest hit, also outperforming Night at the Museum. This probably bodes well (or not so well depending on your point of view) for Fox going back to the X-Well for summers to come.

Diabolical Scheme: Nuada, Prince of the Elves wants to reunite pieces of an ancient crown which will enable him to command an unstoppable army of mechanical soldiers.
Coolest Moment(s): Those pesky tooth fairies, the trip to the troll market (being the best example of incredible effects) and the fight with the golden army.
Worst Moment: Abe's infatuation with Wonder Twin B. C'mon Abe, you can do better.
Comic Book Logic: How are Hellboy and Liz genetically compatible. The thought of their conceiving a baby is pretty revolting.

Review in 50 Words or Less: Incredibly underrated. You never thought a group of such strange looking oddballs could ever be accused of character development Creative and formidable monsters, top notch effects, and a story balancing equal parts action and heart propel these freakish heroes into a rare sequel which far outshines the original.
