A decent sequel to a decent film.

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2008)

Hellboy and the gang from Hellboy return in Hellboy 2 the Golden Army. And although certain parts are visually stunning the plot never really takes off. The characters all though well casted aren't given much material to work with and are no as interesting as they seemed in the first film. The action scenes were not as good as expected save the final action sequence. The plot about the mystical world going to war with humans sounds like a very interesting concept, however it never really goes anywhere and is anti-climatic. Visually the characters and scenery are visually stunning. There are a couple of funny scenes but Hellboy 2 fails to raise to anything more than just decent.
