this movie is singlehandedly responsible for my instant-cry reaction to “can’t smile without you”

Hellboy Retrospective: Hellboy II: The Golden Army Hellboy II is a worthy successor to the original, with stunning special effects and a funny sense of humor. Both the old cast, as well as the new characters were very enjoyable. The film features a plethora of inventive…
RalphJan 13, 2025has a very particular aesthetic that i really love. it’s so grimy and otherworldly. you got strange creatures, magical lore, a fun blend of the whimsical and the grotesque, and del toro just having so much fun crafting this dark fairytale.
George CarmiAug 28, 2022With the critical success of Pans Labyrinth, GDT was given much more control on Hellboy II, especially in comparison to the first one, and it definitely shows. The move away from Nazis and invoking a more folklore approach allowed GDT to really flex his muscles. The world…

Letting del Toro finish his trilogy would end climate change. 🔥
ᴬⁿᵗʰᵒⁿʸJul 13, 2013"Hey Corey, did you like all those Pan's Labyrinth creature designs?" "Yes, I sure did, sir" "Want like, 100 more of them?" "Please" "And what do you think about Barry Manilow?" "I grew up with Barry Manilow, Guillermo" "How do you feel about Ron Perlman and Doug…
Corey PierceApr 13, 2019Del Toro's astonishing visual imagination as usual trumps any kind of narrative momentum, and a typically stubbornly written-to-theme script takes the place of any actual ideas about what's going on. I don't care if the fish man finds a girlfriend, I don't care if Hellboy…

Love that it has the same vibe as the 1st, though less straightforward I guess. The characters seemed more fleshed out and the banter and humor was more fun, but I think I liked the story more in the 1st. Still, a fun villian who wasn’t even that generic. Liked the plant monster
this is a true BANGER. It really takes the first movie and dials it to a ten. The world building is bigger, the motives are bigger, and the lore is bigger (and the guns). Also props to the practical effects. 🤌🏼 (ALSO with Seth MacFarlane voice acting, I never knew!) 8.5/10

These movies are so weird but I dig them. It’s such a fun way of storytelling. Still very cheesy but the character design and practical effects are super cool and unique.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) - 7.8/10 ⭐️ Del Toro returns with an even better sequel! The Golden Army expands the Hellboy universe, introducing new characters and mythologies. The action scenes are more epic, and the humor is spot on. Perlman and the cast deliver strong performances, making…
Loved the creature designs and the elves, loved the fighting Choerography I loved all the character designs we need more of this morbid creativity, this movie dare I say may be better than the first one. rip Abe and his love. I loved hellboys dynamic with Abe in this one too.

VFX artist: how many crossfades do you want Director: yes… I would also like to point out that the villain is visually similar to Knull from Marvel comics and the troll market scene is very reminiscent of Trollhunters, also created by Guillermo Del Toro.
Not quite as great as the first movie but still lots to love here. Pearlman is again excellent as the hero, and theirs good characters, a decent plot and sharp script. Again it’s funny and action packed. A feel good treat

With writer-director del Toro given free license to go where his singular vision takes him, Hellboy II plays like Guillermo's Greatest Hits with even hotter visual effects.
The best scene is when Hellboy and Abe get drunk and sing out raucously, which after Hancock suggests a trend toward superhero alcoholism.
