Great writing and special effects. I didn't care for the elves, but still was a very good movie. I love Hellboy and the fish guy's one-liners.
Really a hilarious movie. It has some real funny scenes and special effects. It's better than the first one, the visuals are definitely more appealing.
i loved hellboy 2. generally the sequel is not better than the first one but in this case it proves to be opposite-it is way better than the first one,since it has corrected a lot of problems of the first one.actions were awesome and it is well directed as well.
