Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

MY RATING: B

RUN TIME: 110 min

MPAA RATING: PG-13

MY REVIEW:  If you liked Hellboy you'll enjoy Hellboy II.  For me, Ron Perlman's sarcasm is what makes this movie stand out.  His ability to pull off those sarcastic remarks while also giving us his enthusiastic fight scenes makes him the perfect Hellboy. 

Director Guillermo Del Toro is able to bring his audience into his own world.  The graphics are amazingly detailed making every scene stunningly vivid.  Del Toro pulled off a visual masterpiece with Hellboy II.  Well rounded characters are well developed and a variety of bizarre creatures keep popping up throughout the film.  Hellboy II is action packed yet still full of endearing moments.

This only problem I had was the overly simplistic "Golden Army" which was a little distracting.  
It's not everyday that a movie has you rooting for the red, horned, "goat-footed," beast from hell.  As long as Del Toro is onboard, bring on Hellboy III.
