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. --Tom Keogh

 Great movie! Highly recommended! February 6, 2010
A. LAZIN
The sequel to the original Hellboy. Many reviewers said that this is not as good as the first one but I believe it is at least as good if not better. The monsters are great, the action is great, and the story is moving. It has all the elements of a great movie.
love it and want another one to be made! January 31, 2010

A surprise package of fun, fright and untamed imagination. A movie that delivers plenty of inventive thrills.

I was expecting alot out of Hellboy II. The first movie had such a great story line and great characters. This movie seemed like cliche humor with no attempt to even care about production or even acting. Like everyone was in front of the camera at gun point. If there is a third installment, it might as well be played by Nick Nolte and Margaret Cho. They can play either lead; doesnt matter.
