This definitely out did hell boy 1, i enjoyed this film for the intense characters that were truly out of the ordinary. Seeing the troll market full of characters of different species and races of the underworld gave it a very rare look of us seeing how the unsee able lives. Much like us in some respects but with a certain chaotic feel of being in a realm where only creatures are only allowed. And if one human enters, instant death albeit except Sherman. mainly because creatures can sense other creatures with unique gifts or powers. And the prince and his sister, regal to the end, and even though the prince wanted to reclaim the upper world as his own he still kept to the rules of protocol all except the final battle. With a self sacrificing sister taking her own life to end his, keeping the golden army at bay forever from Sherman's help. I have to say this was Ron perlmans better roles in his career, i like the hell boy franchise and how its gotten much bigger and better over the last few years. As we remember when Ron was the beast in the famed TV series opposite Linda Hamilton, we can see that Ron's persona fits his role perfectly, using slapstick comical quips and real butt kicking techniques to get the job done. But what was a refreshing new character was Johann Krause, the ecto plasmic by the book individual who let his hair down when it was needed. He was a very fine addition to the team i hope if there is a next hell boy, they will include Johann again. And hopefully seeing both Sherman's and hell boys kids growing up to be like mom and dad,
