Never has a sequel been so pumped up, so exciting, so over-the-seat, so AWESOME as Hellboy 2: the Golden Army. Director Guillermo Del Toro has done it again, ladies & gentlemen. The CGI was much better this time around and the whole presentation was one exciting trip.
However, I do have one qualm: Prince Nuada. The character was weak. Not to say that I didn't like Luke Goss's performance, it was quite good, but the character was very weak and not the least bit intimidating. In short, Nuada was just another Hollywood cliche. I personally am a fan of villainous characters with intimidating and dominating screen-time power and what Grigori Rasputin emitted in the previous film, Nuada lacked in this. Even though the fight scenes were spectacular, they seemed too similar to what Jackie Chan might do in his movies and that was, in my opinion, quite a setback but nevertheless, highly fun to watch!
Another thing is that I kinda liked Selma Blair's performance this time around, although her line delivery was a little off at times. So, all in all, a worthy sequel and worthy of being watched and it embraces the modern culture and you also get to see Hellboy laugh... which is something.
