The second Hellboy film, the sequel and the final work of Guillermo del Toro and Hellboy together on the big screen. It's a fun and quick ride. Everything present in the first movie is back here in this one. The charm of all the actors playing their characters, Mike Mignola's style and the small details to the mythical world of what makes Hellboy so unique.

The sequel Hellboy II The Golden Army picks up everything that made the first movie so special and doubles down on it. All of the set design, which is very fun detailed, tell a story. Each demon is built like a real existing being. Not much will be explained, which is a positive thing with these movies, but rather it's for the audience to picture the lore in their own imagination. You can also find more of Guillermo's ideas in Behind The Scene footage, where he brings up small details he put in the movie. It's very interesting.

Next to all that, Hellboy II also fixes a ton of problems the first one had. Like the lack of personality from the human characters and Hellboy not getting all the room to develop further outside of having to follow orders of the organization, his father or his girlfriend Liz. Here, he finally get's to do whatever he wants to do. With blowback or not. Also, replacing "John" with "Johan" (voiced by Seth McFarlane from Family Guy) was a good idea, laughable, but good.

p.s, what a "villain"..., if you can call him that.
