Guillermo del Toro Goes to Hell and Backnew

The point is fun: In any other movie, it'd be a sign that things had gone seriously awry if a red demon and a blue talking fish got together, drank too much Tecate, and started slurring out a drunken duet, but in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, it kind of makes sense.

Guillermo Del Toro's 'Hellboy II' is All About Rock-hard, Right-handed Self-pleasurenew

The movie is lax on personal expression, simply a spook-the-kids, psyche-the-hipsters carnival.

Darned to Heck: 'Hellboy II' Comes to You Streamlined and Franchisednew

Watching Hellboy II is a process. It feels like it's been tamed and corralled and commodified. Hellboy was rowdy and feral and dangerous, and already, in only its second outing, the franchise has been herded into the slaughterhouse and ground up in chuck chop and wrapped in sanitary plastic.

Del Toro's Hollywood Order: Gifted Director Holds Back the Dream

Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy sequel is a simultaneously exhilarating and underwhelming experience due to the idleness of its characters and nebulous sub-plot elements that contrast blankly against del Toro's trademark of baroquely drawn details.
