There was something not quite right with Hellboy 2. I can't put my finger on it, I can't seem to find any fault, it just didn't feel right, a little disjointed perhaps. That said, I loved the end scene and the creatures etc. Having been a fan of the comics for many years, I can s...( read more)
Guillermo del Toro did it again. His imagery and visual language are currently unmatched in cinema. He easily exceeds expectations for his second Hellboy film and creates one hell of a fun fantasy picture. A movie that has everything an action comic adventure needs: so many funny...( read more)

Much better than part 1. Selma Blair looks hot. Good action and effects especially the final golden army fight.
The only area that this really improved on the first one was the delightfully imaginative and well executed creatures. But that's enough to make it better than the original.

A beer drinking super hero with women problems. I know the feeling.
