Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

For most casual movie-goers with no real knowledge of comic books, Dark Horse’s Hellboy was a complete unknown prior to his getting a movie in 2004. However, quite surprisingly, it was a very good movie and a moderate financial success.

Ron Perlman took on the role of Hellboy and totally nailed it, which resulted in the production of a sequel – 2008’s Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.

It was even better than the first movie, with a more focused and prominent villain in the form of Luke Goss as Prince Nuada, and it had a hell of a lot more action than its predecessor. It was so good that fans are calling for a third movie – even though Perlman is already 65 years of age.

And now, let’s move on, to a movie that was terrible, but still better than its awful predecessor.
