60 of 124 · most liked firstWatching HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY, my favorite of the HELLBOY films. Although we didn’t get a sequel, it’s pound-for-pound as entertaining as anything GdT has made. I know Mignola wasn’t a fan. But while I respect Mignola as an artist, this movie fuckin’ bangs.

neutral · AI labelView post →Introduce yourself with 4 movies. Bonus: Totoro, but I watched those 4 more. Why Hellboy II and not the first one? I love both, but all the creature/character/location designs in Golden Army are crazy amazing. So sad that Del Toro didn't make a 3rd one.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hellboy II The Golden Army: A rewatch but god what a treat. Is it a silly popcorn flick to watch with friends? Yes! Is it also such a lovely movie to look at the craft and pause on the sets and prosthetics and effects and just luxuriate in the artistry of it all. Watching with film pervs is xtra fun
positive · AI labelView post →OK, so this is embarrassing. Having earlier slandered Guillermo del Toro by saying he'd never made a film with an exploding helicopter, I've been reminded that he did blow one up in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. One exploding helicopter though, that's pathetic.

neutral · AI labelView post →okay now onto HELLBOY II, where Del Toro said "Okay, now I'm gonna cash in the PAN'S LABYRINTH prestige and make a Jim Henson fantasy movie." Rock on, my man.

neutral · AI labelView post →OK, but since I kinda didn't answer the question... my fav American comic book movie that isn't DC or Marvel? Come on down, Anung Un Rama! Like the first film a lot, but HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY is where Mike Mignola's high gothic and Guillermo del Toro's swooning romantic sensibilities click.

Hellboy II is great, but for me the bodysuit of Ron Perlman is off. Mario Bros movie also great one! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
neutral · AI labelView post →44. Pan's Labyrinth (2006) Del Toro is one of my art heroes. The first movies I saw of his were Hellboy and Hellboy II. But Pan's Labyrinth was the film that turned me into a total admirer.
neutral · AI labelView post →182. Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Rewatch) I saw this in theaters years ago. I remembered NONE of it. THIS MOVIE RULES. The extra budget shines through in every practical suit, in all the fights, with all the action and CG. It's CRIMINAL that the third one died because Pacific Rim Uprising was ass

neutral · AI labelView post →Hellboy II is technically a Christmas movie. Though I’m delighted by how about 3 tracks in, Danny decided he wanted to be Henry Mancini (and naturally pulls it off).

neutral · AI labelView post →Good thread that shines a bigger light on the fact that 2008 was when things in mainstream genre cinema started to go horribly wrong. Speed Racer, Crystal Skull, Hellboy II, Punisher War Zone and this varyingly getting the shaft in favor of the first in a thirty-five-film series of Iron Man movies

I prefer the first film just a bit more, but this is such a great big budget fantasy epic with an endlessly creative visual style. I wish we had at least three more of these.
positive · AI labelView post →Realizing that HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY, a fantasy superhero movie whose ending genuinely emotionally traumatized me, hits numbers 1, 3, and 5 hard enough to crack the pavement beneath them. I have only rarely wanted to walk out of a movie and set fire to the world. This is one of them.
negative · AI labelView post →Hellboy II owns, it really feels like Del Toro just wanted to make a movie full of his bizarre whimsy and a complete fairy tale and just slapped Hellboy on it while Mike Mignola just said "yeah this owns do it"

neutral · AI labelView post →Remember how in the first Hellboy movie, David Hyde Pierce voiced Abe Sapien, but when Hellboy II came around, he was all "I'd be honored, but you don't need me, Doug Jones is great, why don't you just use him?" Because there was absolutely no Leto in that Skeletor.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie: Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Blu-ray) I forgot how awesome this movie was. More action, more practical effects (them creature designs!!) and more fun dialogue. I want a 3rd movie so damn badly! Especially with how this one ends. #filmsky
