Hellboy is back and better than ever. Big red now battles enemies from the unknown in this second installment from director Guillermo Del Toro. Showing hints from creatures in Pan's Labyrinth, he creates another mystic world of the supernatural. He mixes humor with action combined with great storytelling. Truly, he is one of the better directors fully capable of doing these types of films. Ron Pearlman was a great character playing Hellboy, and Selma Blair compliments by playing fire starter Liz. Their chemistry was fun and full of humor. The story seems a little reminiscent of Blade II’s storyline. Still, it is one of the better comic book films to come out this year. A definite must watch for fans of the first one. Hellboy II: The Golden Army 8.5/10Saturday, August 16, 2008
