Having seen the trailers for Hellboy 2 and being impressed by them I dragged my boyfriend and one of my mates along at the weekend to watch it.

Plot

The mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth, so as Hellboy and his team return they must save the world from the rebellious creatures. Now as the creatures who inhabit the spiritual realm gear-up for an all out attack on the human plane, the only one capable of saving the Earth is a tough-talking hellspawn rejected by both worlds.

About The Film

Hellboy works for a hidden US agency to save the world from the paranormal and supernatural threats. Hellboys colleagues include Abe Sapian and Liz Sherman, Liz's mind can summon fire and is also Hellboy's girlfriend. Their boss has the team under strict orders to conduct themselves discretely, however Hellboy is acting act because he wants the world to know who he is, he wants to be on YouTube.

The ancient conflict between man and elf is told in an opening stop-motion sequence. The war reached a terrible pitch with the creation of a Golden Army, which are clockwork automatons that can not be stopped.

In Hellboy 2 the subsequent peace between man and elfkind is now threatened by man's rapacious consumption of the environment. "Greed has burned a hole in their heart" Prince Nuada says who has decided to reactivate the Golden Army and drive back the old enemy.

The film sees Hellboy trying to stop them and also wondering whether they belong on the side of man or if they should be batting for the elvish team.

Overall

Overall, I feel that the film was really good and would definitely recommend it to anyone, it is jam packed with action and keeps viewers interested in the film the whole way through with the gripping storyline. And it doesn't matter if you haven't seen the first one because I hadn't and still understood the second one.

Nice, easy to read and informative review there indeed. I saw this last week in the Cinema, and really enjoyed it. Much better than the first one I thought.........Roy.......

I have seen this and just like the first film I loved it, it's a shame "The Dark Knight" is the only film everyone is going to see this Summer-Milt

Great review hun. Bex watched the first one of this and said it was crap, so I'm staying clear. Glad to see your back writing. Kirsty. x
