Amazon.com: The feverish Hellboy II: The Golden Army is a very busy sequel that might have looked unhinged in the hands of a less visionary director than Guillermo del Toro. Ron Perlman returns as Hellboy, aka "Red," the Dark Horse Comics demon-hero with roots in the mythical world but personal ties in the human realm. Still working, as he was in Hellboy, for a secret department of the federal government that deals (as in "Men In Black") with forces of the fantastic, Red and his colleagues take on a royal elf (Luke Goss) determined to smash a longtime truce between mankind and the forces of magic. Meanwhile, Red's relationship with girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), who can burst into flames at will, is going through a rocky stage observed by Red's fishy friend Abe (Doug Jones), himself struck by love in this film. Del Toro brilliantly integrates the ordinary and extraordinary, diving into an extended scene set in a troll market barely hidden behind the façade of typical city streets. He also unleashes a forest monster that devastates an urban neighborhood, but then--interestingly--brings a luminous beauty to the same area as the creature (an "elemental") succumbs to a terrible death. Del Toro's art direction proves masterful, too, in a climactic battle set in a clockworks-like stronghold tucked away in rugged Irish landscape. But it's really the juxtaposition of visual marvels with not-so-unusual relationship issues that gives Hellboy II a certain jaunty appeal hard to find in other superhero movies. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Hellboy II: The Golden Army Blu-Ray
Hellboy II: The Golden Army [Blu-ray] Hellboy II: The Golden Army is a fun ride with excellent special effects. Ron Perlman is as usual wonderful in this part. It looks amazing on Blu-Ray. Even if you saw it before give it another look on Blu-Ray, it's like seeing it for the first time and really appreciation it in it's totality.
Rating: - Big Red is Back...
Out of all the comic book based movies that have been released over the last several years, I can only think of one that I just knew would have difficulty striking a chord with audiences; and yet, I found myself to be completely surprised when the end result turned out to be a great success. The film I am referring to was the 2004 surprise hit, "Hellboy" starring Ron Perlman as a bright red, demonic monster hunter. Before the original film arrived in theaters, the promotional images looked impressive, especially the make-up effects work being done to create Hellboy's devilish visage; which was ... Read More
Rating: - HELLBOY 2 THE GOLDEN ARMY
WORTH EVERY PENNY ESPECIALLY THE SPECIAL EDITION. RON PERLMAN IS AN AWESOME ACTOR AND SELMA BLAIR HELPS IT OUT. THE MOVIE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE BONUS FEATURES ARE SO WORTH IT.
Rating: - Excellent mix of X-Men, City of Lost Children, and Men in Black
Fun movie, actually a lot better than Hellboy I, but even though it is a mix of X-men (the better ones ie: 1 and 3), Jean-Pierre Jeunet's City of Lost Children, and Men in Black II, it is actually a lot better than a bad movie like Men in Black II. There is a point in the movie where you wonder "oh no, this is becoming like Men in Black II", but luckily, the movie gets past that point unscathed (ie: the turn the encounter with the tree god into a more humanistic story, as opposed to "let's shoot up all 'dem big things!". The kid at the beginning was a bit corny, but I suppose fits into the comic ... Read More
