Critics’ Takes on Hellboy 2:

“Poetic, funny, darkly romantic and beautifully structured -- is a very different picture from "Pan's Labyrinth." But there's no doubt that it springs from the same cathedral.” –Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

“Del Toro is almost alone in his ability to re-create on screen the wide-eyed exhilaration and disturbing grotesqueness that is the legacy of reading comics on the page.” –Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“Hugely inventive -- and smashingly beautiful.” –Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

“It's not perfect -- thank Satan! -- but Hellboy II: The Golden Army is by far the most splendidly imaginative and creatively uncorked piece of fantastic cinema since the director's "Pan's Labyrinth" netted an Oscar trifecta in 2007.” –Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle

“A surprise package of fun, fright and untamed imagination.” –Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“Ron Perlman returns as the film's loveable title character, a demon gone good who's tough on the outside but tender underneath, with a soft spot for kittens, candy, and babies.” –Nathan Rabin, The Onion (A.V. Club)
