Believe it or not, he's the good guy.
With a signature blend of action, humour and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world's toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in Hellboy 2: the Golden Army. Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's labyrinth, Hellboy).
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).
Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence-pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empathy Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann-the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.

Hellboy 2: the Golden Army is an image-driven action flick that blows you out of your seat. There is so much going on that you'll find it hard to process in real time. Every scene has a special effect of some kind (prosthetics, make-up, CGI). It's like a music video on acid or maybe Australia's funniest home videos on speed. It's a lot of fun but if you can't handle riding a roller coaster you won't be able to hack this movie. It's kind of like watching all three episodes of The Matrix on the same screen at the same time.
The action, supernatural movie Hellboy 2: the Golden Army is directed by Guillermo del Toro and stars Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones.
