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.

There is just one word to describe this movie,stunning. Hollywood just ca't make movies as good as this. I can't believe some people are giving it one star.

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!

This isn't a review of the film, which is excellent, what really annoyed me were the subtitles. They're completely out of sync with the dialogue, sometimes with a delay of a couple of seconds, which was really distracting and means that you often can't tell who's actually speaking. The subtitle even freezes for a couple of minutes half way through at the worst possible moment, completely distracting from what's going on. Such a shame for a film that's so technically perfect.

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 just watched Blade Trinity again, and again it shows just how brilliant the first two films were. Wesley Snipes is perfect as Blade and both of the first films have some of the best fighting scenes in this type of film. Trinity, I'm afraid is a poor imitation of the first two. A shame but still five stars overall.
