The feverish
Hellboy II: The Golden Army is a very busy sequel that might have looked unhinged in the hands of a less visionary director than Guillermo del Toro. Ron Perlman returns as Hellboy, aka "Red," the Dark Horse Comics demon-hero with roots in the mythical world but personal ties in the human realm. Still working, as he was in
Hellboy, for a secret department of the federal government that deals (as in "Men In Black") with forces of the fantastic, Red and his colleagues take on a royal elf (Luke Goss) determined to smash a longtime truce between mankind and the forces of magic. Meanwhile, Red's relationship with girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), who can burst into flames at will, is going through a rocky stage observed by Red's fishy friend Abe (Doug Jones), himself struck by love in this film. Del Toro brilliantly integrates the ordinary and extraordinary, diving into an extended scene set in a troll market barely hidden behind the façade of typical city streets. He also unleashes a forest monster that devastates an urban neighborhood, but then--interestingly--brings a luminous beauty to the same area as the creature (an "elemental") succumbs to a terrible death. Del Toro's art direction proves masterful, too, in a climactic battle set in a clockworks-like stronghold tucked away in rugged Irish landscape. But it's really the juxtaposition of visual marvels with not-so-unusual relationship issues that gives
Hellboy II a certain jaunty appeal hard to find in other superhero movies. --

| Great movie | 2010-07-23 | 5 / 5 |

| The quality of this film is very high, and it is rare a sequel will triumph over its predecessor. This film does more than triumph. The incredible detail in all the creatures, the story, it all wraps you in, and is a thrill ride worth taking. |

| For some odd reason I prefer the first movie to the sequel,I like Hellboy's character but I think it could been better,for some reason I thought I was watching harry potter mixed with labyrinth. |

| Thats right everyone Hellboy's back in this non stop action sequel to the blockbuster hit. Hellboy returns with his grilfriend liz and his odd but fishy friend abe. Hellboy and his gang are set off to stop the menace of a dark prince who awakens an army to destroy all humanity. so it's up to hellboty and his pals to stop him. this movie is awesome just as good as the first. If you have not seen this movie then you should |

| This had a few too many fight scenes for me but it's often quite funny and visually astonishing. |

I first have to say that I avoided Hell Boy for a number of years because most comic book movies frankly suck ass. But this movie really made me think about giving all of them a try, although the latest Wolverine movie made my case valid.
Having said all of that, I was blown away by HellBoy and this sequel is ten times better! Its funny, has heart and the action and special effects never stop. It's much more fantasy based, rather than just about hell and the end of the world stuff. It's a trip worth taking. |
