February 9, 2012Monster mash springs to mind with this sequel hehe its good, plain and simple. With a better story line and more action this Hellboy is a better animal than the first. The film looks really good, its dark, gloomy and goth and at the same time bright, full of imagination and kinda... read more

December 1, 2011Considering, I'm not that that big a fan of Hellboy, I thought this sequel was pretty good. I very much preferred this film over the first, and I thought it was much more engaging than the first. I usually have mixed feelings about Ron Perlman, but he was pretty good here. This i... read more

October 21, 2011The infernal superhero and his team reunite to stop an elfin prince from reawakening a dormant robotic army to wage war on mankind. One thing that you can take for granted when it comes to films by Del Toro is that it IS going to look absolutely fantastic, and so it does. The won... read more

June 5, 2011Hellboy 2 is a great sequel. Guillermo del Toro did something really cool with his Hellboy movies. With The Golden Army he matches the success of the first and it's equally entertaining and a lot funnier. I love Ron Perlman as Hellboy. It is a role he was born to play. This movie... read more

May 12, 2011fb732260458I swear Ron Perlman was born to play Hellboy. A fantastic comic-book entry by Guillermo del Toro, with spell-binding visuals, a quirky script and memorable characters.

April 20, 2011Not only as good as the first, maybe even better. The effects and makeup are gorcious. The acting and humor were very well done. The story was much better than the original, and more exciting. Overall I think its safe to say the Hellboy movies are much better than most comic ... read more

January 15, 2011a vissionary film from del toro. a solid fantasy film with awesome effects, great characters, and another witty performance by pearlman. a little too detached from the human world for me and could have benefitted from a slightly more serious tone, but in all one of the funnest ... read more

Hellboy II, though not as keenly conceived or nimbly executed as its predecessor, is still likable entertainment. Full Review

One can't help but wonder whether Del Toro hasn't misjudged the balance between comedy and gravity in this sequel. Full Review

Unlike many action filmmakers, del Toro doesn't thrill to the hardware of manmade technology. He prefers the soft, organic textures of flesh, and his trove of imaginary beasties is unmatched in modern... Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
The talented fantasy filmmaker and heir to the Lord of the Rings throne gets the tone right throughout Hellboy 2, and the hip retro charm alone is enough to merit recommendation. Full Review

The second film is more assured, better paced, and has a stronger emotional component. Full Review

Hellboy II, like its 2004 predecessor, has a middling story line, but it's made memorable by the dark, freaky visions of director Guillermo del Toro. And this time, his imagination runs wilder than ever. Full Review
