4 out of 5 stars Princes, Demons and Barry Manilow    January 8, 2009
Tim Brough (Springfield, PA United States)
The frenetic and kinetic sequel to Hellboy is a madly imaginative romp that has even more zip than the first. Benicio Del Torro increases the depths to each character, given them emotional play around the story and keeps the ideas running. Del Torro brings his gift for visual flair into the movie ala his Pan's Labyrinth.

The other point in "Hellboy 2's" favor is that Hellboy begins to feel the conflict between the world of humans and of his own kind. The conflict with the elvin world presents Liz with a piece of knowledge that she must keep secret. And Abe falls in love.

It's the love factors that make this most interesting and provide the balance of humor. The scene with a beer-lubed Red and Blue singing along to Barry Manilow "Can't Smile Without You" is a classic. Moments like that are what helps keep "Hellboy 2" flying high, and make it a better film than the original.



4 out of 5 stars Good Movie for the Hellboy Lover, but not as good as the First    January 8, 2009
WordsProvokeMe
This movie aims a little too much towards the action crowd and loses some of the character interaction that the first movie took the time to develop. The favorite characters are still here and still loveable. It is just as if the writers were trying for too much in this movie. It is still good and I enjoyed it.


5 out of 5 stars great movie    January 7, 2009
John W. Zimmerman (Portland, OR)
The extra $5 was worth the fancy cover that transforms from movie hellboy to comic hellboy.


5 out of 5 stars Hellboy II was not a disappointment    January 7, 2009
Voodoo Child 1976 (So*Cali)
With sequels there's always something lost... and it's never as good as the first one... this sequel was. I loved hellboy but I also love hellboyII. If you havent seen it... do it...

Emily E. Austin (Honey Grove, Texas)
This is a really fun movie. It's rare that a sequel is better than the original, but this one is. Hellboy is such a sympathetic character and the fairy antagonists are beautifully dangerous. This movie is absolutely one of the best from the comic genre. It is a great ride.
