I'm a HUGE fan of the comics and thought that the first movie was done just right. I think Hellboy II: the Golden Army is as good as the first movie. It takes awhile to get used to Doug Jones' voice as Abe, but once you do, you see why it's better to have the guy in the suit doing his own dialog. And Seth McFarlane does a fine job voicing Johann (although not as I had imagined him). The design work is superior to the first movie and the humor is ratcheted up a notch. The fights are better and more thrilling and the monsters are way cool. Great use of costumes and CGI working together (something Lucas should have done more of in the Star Wars prequels) to make everything feel REAL. I expect many won't like it as much as the first movie because the newness will be lost. This was in fact my immediate reaction as well; but after a few days I realized I was just as excited to see it again as I was the first one. The story isn't as grandiose as the first Hellboy, and the overall pace and build have a few problems.Read full review
This follow-up to Hellboy proves every bit as fun and much funnier. The excitement of the fight sequences is a thrill to behold, the drunken singing makes you gut-laugh and the imagination of the characters and the story builds this movie into a must have. Ron Perlman is fantastic, as usual. His one-liners and intricate way of making the serious seem not-quite-so is a gem. The rest of the cast adds a wonderful flavor to this film - enticing you to want more. Is it the best movie around? Certainly not. But if you can enjoy the fantastic and simply immerse yourself into something that's a lot of fun, then this movie is for you.
I find Hellboy II to be even more entertaining than Hellboy I and this sequel really sets you up for a third film. Most unfortunately, the director says it won't be forthcoming. This sequel is a great story and beautifully presented, so enjoy!
