Hellboy II: The Golden Army Reviews & Ratings

Average viewer score of 6.8/10 from 5,735 ratings.

8/10

As keen as I am for the new Neil Marshall directed _Hellboy_ reboot, I do still wish we had gotten to see a _Golden Army_ sequel to wrap up Ron Perlman's trilogy. Here director Guillermo del Toro lets loose all bars on his fantasy elements, stacking the movie with elves, trolls, even tooth fairies, making for a less grim, but still very good _Hellboy_ sequel. Not to mention it features personal favourite Luke Goss…

I am a huge sci-fi fantasy fan and I really loved the first Hellboy but I don't know something was off about this one. Like someone watched Lord of The Rings and thought I can do that! The character development felt weak as well not well thought out like the first one but it was nice to hear a familiar voice after watching Star Trek Discovery!
