OK...Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) is just one big comic book. And I don't mean that in a bad way. Pure escapism and fantasy, this sequel is not quite as good as the first movie, but still great fun.
The best part of Hellboy is his personality. He is rough and gruff, but he just wants to be able to enjoy himself, maybe get a few accolades for the work he does, sending demons to their deaths. Maybe have some brews and cigars with fans. But no, he has to be top secret.
Played by Ron Perlman, who in bygone days wore lots of makeup as another monster in TVs Beauty and the Beast (opposite Linda Hamilton), Hellboy, or Red, is adjusting to married life with Selma Blair, who is like a human torch. And he seems to be losing the married squabbles they are having. These are the touches that make this movie. The main story line is fine, fight scenes etc are good. But it is the interaction of the characters that is the fun part, the part that keeps me watching.
Hellboy III??? Hell yeah...I'll try it!
