When the mythical world engages their campaign to take over the Earth, the U.S. government reaches out to the only department staffed to handle the potential catastrophe: The Bureau for Paranormal Research, who once again turns to the demon hero Hellboy (Perelman) and his teammates to stop a merciless dictator from carrying out his plan.

I saw the first Hellboy and didn’t much care for it, but the previews for the second installment seemed promising. All in all Hellboy II: The Golden Army was a very well made, visually impressive film but it’s one of those films that left me thinking I would have rather rented it.
