The feverish Hellboy II: The Golden Army is a very busy sequel that might have looked unhinged in the hands of a less visionary director than Guillermo del Toro. Ron Perlman returns as Hellboy, aka "Red," the Dark Horse Comics demon-hero with roots in the mythical world but personal ties in the human realm. Still working, as he was in Hellboy, for a secret department of the federal government that deals (as in "Men In Black") with forces of the fantastic, Red and his colleagues take on a royal elf (Luke Goss) determined to smash a longtime truce between mankind and the forces of magic. Meanwhile, Red's relationship with girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), who can burst into flames at will, is going through a rocky stage observed by Red's fishy friend Abe (Doug Jones), himself struck by love in this film. Del Toro brilliantly integrates the ordinary and extraordinary, diving into an extended scene set in a troll market barely hidden behind the façade of typical city streets. He also unleashes a forest monster that devastates an urban neighborhood, but then--interestingly--brings a luminous beauty to the same area as the creature (an "elemental") succumbs to a terrible death. Del Toro's art direction proves masterful, too, in a climactic battle set in a clockworks-like stronghold tucked away in rugged Irish landscape. But it's really the juxtaposition of visual marvels with not-so-unusual relationship issues that gives Hellboy II a certain jaunty appeal hard to find in other superhero movies. --Tom Keogh

On the whole this is a magnificent set.. The only thing that disappoints me is the quality of the "statue". But for the price who can complain, I was more excited about the blu-ray disc and the limited edition book anyway...

Movie being slightly not as good as the first, this blu ray pack more than makes up for it. Love the little golden army figure and the book!
COMPLETELY worth the little extra
Hellboy Rocks!!! November 22, 2008

This is a great movie with plenty of action, and attention to detail. THe Blue-ray version is incredible, showcasing the sharpness of the movie shooting sets as well as the characters. Also, the extras are super, especially the tour of the movie sets. The collector's set is a fan must have!
