Review - Hellboy II: The Golden Army

We went out and saw Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the long awaited sequel, today. Quite amazing, better than the first movie, better writing combined with amazing special effects and action sequences makes for a very satisfactory movie. The vision of the fae lands and creatures is dark and fantastic, much like that in Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, and very pleasing both visually and conceptually. I would certainly have liked to have seen more of "the other side" of the world. Still, well paced, well acted and visually exciting. My Grade: B+
