Better than Hellboy

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2008)

It took 4 years to make Hellboy 2. I think it was worth the wait. With more monsters in this sequel, it makes you think you are in another world and not earth. I always like superhero sequels, they are better than the first one. Hellboy 2 is one of the good sequel. There is the usual humour from Hellboy, the rest of the team like Liz, Abe and the mysterious Johann are good too. This sequel seems like a fantasy movie loaded with monsters while the first movie, Hellboy 1, seems like a dark and scary movie.
The story: It is just like the usual superhero story, the villain goes crazy and bend on taking over the human world and the good guys go and save the world. But there are many monsters, you can't help but be fascinated by them. Some monsters look like from Pan's Labyrinth which is another masterpiece by director Guillermo del Toro. This guy likes dark fantasy a lot. Anyway, the action-packed story with the monsters will make you engross in the world they are living in.
Overall: It is a fun summer flick. With great characters to make the movie more enjoyable, action fans will be pleased with the action scenes and there is a wide range of realistic monsters. What more do you want for a fantasy action flick? Guillermo del Toro makes this movie enjoyable with his humour and the usual over-the-top fantasy. It will be worth to watch this in cinema.
