    Guillermo del Toro's sequel to his 2004 comic-book-success is humorous, exciting and majestic as it explores a whole different realm of the Dark-Horse-adaptation. Ron Perlman once again gives a smart and distinct performance with laughable dialogue and action all around. 4.5/5

    A solid sequel that didn't fail to satisfy the fans, Hellboy is back with all new villains and characters. The witty humour was still there, and new elements were added such a cute romance and some family drama.
