Hellboy II: The Golden Army

-by Ann Marie

The second installment of "Hellboy," "Hellboy II" has full action packed scenes that keep the viewer engrossed.

Hellboy (Ron Perlman) is back on the screen with Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) taking control of what seems to be a bedtime story. Hellboy has to face an evil elf, Prince Nuada (Luke Goss), who breaks an ancient pact between humans and creatures. Hellboy and his crew venture out to stop Prince Nuada from raising The Golden Army.

Ron Perlman is back on the screen with Doug Jones and some new actors. Selma Blair (Liz Sherman) is Perlman's on screen lover who has her own special ability. The rest of the actors worked well on the screen and helped push the story forward.

"Hellboy II: The Golden Army" has many action packed scenes with high intense, fast paced choreographed moves. These scenes help keep the viewer involved and help push the storyline forward. Also the camera has close up shots of Hellboy's guns to help intensify the movie's scenes.

Guillermo del Toro directed "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," making this his second "Hellboy" movie. This isn't the only high intense film, del Toro has directed. He is known for some of his other movies such as "Blade II" and "Mimic."

This movie would be recommended for anyone who saw the first "Hellboy."
