Hellboy/Hellboy 2 - The Golden Army

Film Description

The first two of del Toro's supernatural action adventure featuring the eponymous red-skinned demon.

In Hellboy (2004), a demon summoned through a Nazi faction in 1945, and subsequently taken by the Allies and employed to fight against mad monk Rasputin, is one of the darker and more effective entries in the recent canon of superhero comic book movies.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army sees a second big screen outing for the popular cult superhero. In this acclaimed instalment, an environmentally-minded Elven prince seeks to unleash an indestructible clockwork army upon mankind in a bid to take over the Earth, and Hellboy and his team are all that stand in their way. As with del Toro's earlier films, Hellboy II combines the conventional with the unexpected; in between the good-versus-evil bar-room pugilism the lovingly-detailed fantasy netherworld is explored and the film's offbeat characters are given room to develop.
