Amazing beasties (as noted by Rod) and some pretty slick action.

That was the most fun I've had at the movies in a LONG time. I think I even enjoyed myself here more than I did at Ironman, which I also loved.

Then again, I am a HUGE sucker for well-done beasties... And this movie was absolutely gorgeous.

I definitely recommend it.

I agree with what you said,but to also add,Selma Blair is teh smex.;)

One of my major complaints about the first Hellboy was the lack of creatures, this one definitly makes up for it, I didn't know you could pack so many into one movie! Creatures aside I found evereything else about it excellent and better than the original.

I'm thrilled that HELLBOY II beat HANCOCK by almost 3 million! It grossed almost 36 million. A film this creative deserves to be a hit and HELLBOY is; It looks like we will definitely have a third film. I really don't like Will Smith and I'm glad HELLBOY stopped Hancock from being number one for a second week. I think HELLBOY will have legs because the word of mouth is great. Del Toro has officially arrived. HELLBOY is an original vision with themes that appeal to the outsider in all of us. We all sometimes feel different and alienated from the mainstream of society; I identify with many of the characters in this film.

It cost 85 million from what I've heard. So a part 3 might not be in the cards for sure. Especially with next weekends release, Space Chimps.

I have to admit - i was hoping it would be better - i found it a bit uneven.
It's obvious Del Toro looks at these films differently from his other work ...

hellboy 2 had a lot of the look he's been doing lately (a la Pans Labrynth) but this is a far more commercial film with more 'crowd pleasing' moments.

I found it more than a little uneven and with too many directions being attempted. (some just didnt get the proper weight)

I liked the angle of these extraordinary creatures trying to live like normal people ...

i understand that there was an environmental angle as well. (respecting the earth - and losing the magic through progress... etc ... - thats the one that wasn't realized properly - just touched in here and there)


I agree that the golden army itself was anticlimactic - and just not that interesting - as well as the projected resolution...

but there were bits here and there i enjoyed.

oddly - it made me appreciate the 1st one more.
