one of my absolute favorites!

Just perfect...

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I did expect more of this...Well, Hellboy 2 is still an entertaining action movie... But it misses everything, that made Hellboy 1 so special.It's not very cynical, no "very bad language" and is filled 100% political correctness.It means you could easily change the main characters into the ones from "Spiderman" or "Thor" or "Captain America" or whatever... It wouldn't make a difference.So for me, this is just another superhero movie. I mean, it is not a bad one, but just one out of a hundred. That was simply a bit disappointing.

Watched Hellboy II:The Golden Army Featuring Featuring Ron Perlman(Hellboy) as Hellboy, Selma Blair(Cruel Intentions) as Liz Sherman , Doug Jones(Fantastic 4:Rise Of The Silver Surfer) as Abe Sapien, Seth MacFarlane(Robot Chicken) as Johann Krauss , Anna Walton(Mutant Chronicles) as Princess Nuala , Jeffrey Tambor(Superhero Movie) as Tom Manning , Brian Steele(Blade III)as Mr.Wink , also Starring John Hurt (V For Vendetta) as Trevor Bruttenholm and Luke Goss(Blade II) as Prince Nuada Silverlance. The film was great I think better than the first Luke Goss was an excellent Antagonist as Nuada showing Layers and as well as his desire to reclaim his former kingdom also the returning did a great showing vulenrabilltes as this is a darker than the first . Amazing , Also Costume Design From Wendy Partridge(Underworld) and Cinematography By Guillermo Navarro(Jackie Brown) , Writing and Direction By Guillermo Del Toro(Pans Labriynth) and One Of The Best Sequels and Incarnation of Hellboy 8/10

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (2008): Dir: Guillermo del Toro / Cast: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Seth MacFarlane, Luke Goss: A much heavily marketed film than the original although it does present a much better detailing into the lives of the characters. Its impressive creature effects continue to overwhelm us with a plot regarding a golden army that was created to wage war on mankind but a truce was found. Directed by Guillermo del Toro who made the first Hellboy as well as Pans Labyrinth. The special effects are the norm here but fortunately characters seem broader. Ron Perlman plays the sly and never fearful Hellboy whose relationship with Liz Sherman, played by Selma Blair is shaky. He toys with media attention but soon realizes that responsibility will be needed for a very different future. Liz makes discoveries and will eventually bargain for Hellboy's life. Doug Jones returns as the fish-like Abe Sapien who will discover love and the ability to shed tears. Seth MacFarlane plays Johann Krauss who is brought in to help keep Hellboy from encouraging publicity. The role is effective but somewhat standard. Luke Goss plays the villain Prince Nuada who is skilled at martial arts and being a total sh*t disturber. While visually well made it is still a pointless exercise with an army of screenwriters that were far from golden. Thank goodness for creature personalities. Score: 4 / 10

Guillermo Del Toro once again delivers in this motion picture epic that is Hellboy 2:The Golden Army. I had high expectations for this and it did not disappoint. The sequel gives us more action, more monsters, more visuals and a much more nasty villain than the first. The weakness with the first was the villain and this one is truly an improvement. Luke Goss as the elven Prince Nuada is pretty damn cool. He wants all humanity dead and will kill anybody if its necessary, that is truly a nasty villain. Our main characters are all back and as fun as ever with the addition of Agent Johann Krauss. Seth McFarlane voices the robotic agent and I loved him every minute he was on screen. The monsters are all there as well and Del Toro once again has designed some great creations. The giant cave troll Mr. Wink, an elemental forest god, the androgynous looking Angel of Death, the cat eating Scottish troll Fragglewump, tiny insect like monsters that feast of teeth, you name it, this movie has got it. So if you love a good superhero flick, check this out ASAP.
