I, like many people, am becoming a huge fan of Del Toro's work both in English and Spanish and having really enjoyed the first Hellboy was excited about seeing this sequel.

I saw it twice in the cinema, once in London in a special preview screening and again back at home on it's last night - and was completely bowled over both times. For someone like me who watched Ray Harryhausen creatures slugging it out on TV as a kid with his jaw open - this movie is a dream come true, Del Toro has just unlatched the top of his head and spilled his imagination onto celluloid and the result is amazing. I really liked the first one, but I love this one!

The reason I gave this review the title I did was because I can see that for some ... Read More:

Every so often a sequel comes along which is head and shoulders above the original. This proves the case.

Hellboy II is far superior to Hellboy. Better story, acting and far more laughs. Its a comic book story told the way comic book stories should be with action, great graphics, romance and humour. I love the ugly super-hero idea. Hellboy II doesn't disappoint and I bet you that after watching the film you too will be sing Barry Manilow songs.

I can only hope that Hellboy III follows the improving trend.

I am a fan of Del Toro's Spanish language films, but had not seen Hellboy, dismissing it as teen-horror-flick nonsense. I hold my hands up and admit it, I was wrong!

I LOVE this film - and so does my 8 year old son. In fact, I've watched it (as I type this) 12 times. And yes, I still love it.

From a parent's point of view, there are a couple of scenes that you need to keep an eye on - when the mask-wearing baddie is laid out on the slab and you get to see what he looks like (yeuk!).

I'd advise watching this seated alongside anyone small. Although there are demonic references, the demons themselves are not much to give your kid nightmares about. TBH If you've seen Indianna Jones and the Crystal Skull, there isn't ... Read More:

If you can get this on 3 for 2 like I did don't hesitate. The upgrade from the standard DVD is incredible. Hellboy feels as close to 3D as you can get on the format. The colours are vibrant and the image jumps off the screen. I was amazed by how life-like everything looked and watched in awe as the special effects sequences spellbounded me. This is for my money one of the top FIVE releases on Blu-ray. The visuals will impress you and the story is great too. The sound is equally impressive and the extras are many (too many for me to watch) I can't wait for Hell Boy 2!

If you were to guess a Christian theology graduate's favourite post-LOTR fantasy movie you wouldn't pick the big red monkey would you? Great action, cool villians plus a great cocktail of puppetry, physical effects and CGI create a memorable tale of charm and style. Add to this a great suite of extras and it becomes a classic DVD.

Many of you won't give a damn about my religious views (and quite right too) my point is this: despite my convictions I loved this movie. But bear with me when I say Hellboy has an understanding of the role of a hero that makes a pleasant change from the nihilism of Spidey, Bats or even Bond. Hellboy doesn't revel in violence; in fact it bores him- he'd rather try to reason with his foes and draws not an ounce of pleasure ... Read More:

I saw this film once, it was quite amusing and reasonably well written, and cameron shines up nicely.However, I have no great desire to see it again, which I suppose is damning it with faint praise- however, it is a good girls night in film, so I'm a bit biased I guess.

i LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!! I am a big fan of pink and this film suits me perfectly not to mention the hair, the dog, the friends and Reese Witherspoon in the lead role. It's about a young woman - Elle and her cute chichiuhwa. Elle goes to Law school and is determind to get back her boyfriend, Warner who had dumped her. However he is engaged to another law student and with the help from her friend, she wins him back, but by then she met someone else. Elle Woods certainly knows what she is doing! Just not so dumb a blonde as she first appears! Movie Number 2 is nearly as good, but the first is more fun. BEST MOVIE AND I WATCH IT ALL THE TIME!

DVD : Cruel Intentions [1999]
Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) stars as Kathryn, a manipulative woman who places a bet with her step brother Sebastian that he can't get the principal's stepdaughter Annette into bed.

Based on Choderlos de Laclos' novel, Cruel Intentions brings a dark and sexy tale of lies, manipulation and romance to our screens in a dramatic and diverse way, with superb acting and excellent direction and acting.

The lead three actors, Gellar, Phillippe (Flags of our fathers) and Witherspoon (Walk the line) are all tremendous in their respective roles and do the plot justice by giving sexy and sophisticated performances in one of the sexiest dramas of the 90's.

The plot is very character driven, which was helped along by these great performances. Focusing ... Read More:
