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…

Guillermo never misses with creature designs
Alex likedHellboy II: The Golden ArmyLove 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
Cory Nunez lovedHellboy II: The Golden Armythis 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.

nunya likedHellboy II: The Golden Armyloved the first one growing up, didn’t know there was a second, it was decent, there were some really cool creatures and elements but it did get a teensy bit boring at times also young hell boy was off putting to look at also also the locker bit was pretty funny
The Watcher likedHellboy II: The Golden ArmyVFX 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.
Matt likedHellboy II: The Golden ArmyNot 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

Metacritic
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.
Michael Rechtshaffen
The Hollywood Reporter
The best scene is when Hellboy and Abe get drunk and sing out raucously, which after Hancock suggests a trend toward superhero alcoholism.
