Hellboy II: The Golden Army reviews

It Different but in a good way and got a great deal on it as well

The golden army follows on exactly from the first movie. Except… MORE It ups the anti with the creature portrayal and the action There is more depth into the monster world in this one, you learn of the elven kingdoms and it's really great to see more diversity in all of the monsters All in all it's quite good and all the bonus features are a great way to spend a day :P

Excellent film with more Hellboylicious action. The Blu Ray version is sharp, almost hyperclear. The extra features have had alot of thought put into them. Although, there is a bit too much of ‘isn't everyone wonderful’ in some of the extra clips.

Well if you enjoyed the first Hellboy, then you're gonna love this one. Plenty of rock'em sock'em acton and epic battles with other worldly creatues.

Great thing about this movie, is that they only use CGI where they have too, and the rest of the time its puppets (some of them 8 feet tall).

I cant tell you how many times I've hit the rewind button to rewatch some of the epic battles. Definitely worth picking up!

For fans of the original installment, this film is quite simply something to behold. Del Toro (the franchise director) pulls out all the stops (as he did with ‘Blade 2’) and we are witness to his wizardry. The fantastical world of Hellboy 2 is perhaps the most creative amidst a previously unimagined theatre of thought Del Toro has been able to tap into, and like his former feature, ‘Pan's Labyrinth’, what you begin to see is something quite spectacular.

The actors here have reprised their roles and subsequently, these characters are subject to some seriously surreal surroundings. And I'm just referring to standard definition. This Blu-Ray, High-Def copy moves beyond what is confined within the Hollywood framework, and places the audience in amongst the action.

Essentially, Hellboy 2 becomes for its audience an incursion into a wonderfully well-worked world.
