Hellboy
II: The Golden Army
(2008)
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, and
Luke Goss
Nuada
(Luke Goss), a prince of the elves, seeks to take over the Earth. To do
so, he intends to summon the Golden Army, an indestructible force controlled by
a magical golden crown. Nuada begins collecting the fragmented pieces of
this crown so that he can eradicate mankind and control the planet.
Hellboy (Ron Perlman), Liz (Selma Blair), and Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) are the
only thing standing in Nuada’s way. Meanwhile, Hellboy and Liz are having
plenty of issues in the relationship department.
Hellboy
II
is a unique entry to the comic book film genre. Guillermo del Toro's
imaginative filmmaking style adds an elegance to every moment with a monster,
demon, or some other ancient creature on screen. Combine this with great
action and quite a bit of comic relief, and you have one truly enjoyable comic
book flick. This is definitely a movie to enjoy with a little buzz.
Hellboy and Abe get drunk. Why can’t you get in on some of the action?
