Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (2008)

I was up late doing some work, and I figured I’d watch my latest movie in the Netflix queue while I worked — Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. A review of the sequel should include a little background on the original movie.  I like a lot of aspects of the story, mythology, and characters from the series so far.  I like all that occult stuff, plus the idea that there is a lot going on that we in the normal world are not aware of.  Maybe that’s why I liked the original Ghostbusters movie and the 80’s animated series when I was a kid.  🙂

Hellboy 2 was another decent movie from Del Toro.  It had good action, amazing creatures and special effects, and I liked the story.  I didn’t like the ending to the original movie (too cliched), but the ending to this movie was much more satisfying.  I say it was a decent movie, as it still felt as if there were so many themes thrown in, but Del Toro and the writers never dug deeper to focus on the key themes.
