After Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy (2004) had caught a relatively bad start with me - three times What was needed to recognize the ultimately really good film - manages to continue Hellboy - The Golden Army (2008) a much better debut. This spins the story of the first album is consistently pursuing. Much of the story revolves around a young lucky of Hellboy and Liz. And this would include not already enough potential for conflict, they get it on the side also dealing with a megalomaniac prince, who with the help of the Golden Army the World domination has refrained.
It's nice to see that the Hellboy sequel is simply not fast on the , higher, stronger leaves principle. Rather, Guillermo del Toro reflects on the strengths that have always formed the first part prevail. Besides a lot of loud, colorful action that was implemented here again with a sure touch, the film impresses with its interesting characters. Especially comic book movies so often tend to ask their effects on the rest of the film. Del Toro creates an imbalance. Rather, he confronts Hellboy and his associates with very human and universal problems that they have to shoulder next to the struggle for the fate of the world. The characters have rough edges, do not act as a building block for comic characters. The "otherness" is also of high importance as a central dilemma. It succeeds the film a deeper level, far from optical shop to establish values. A plane that is focused on the acceptance of ideas. In this context, places the scene in which Hellboy animated by a fall on the road revealed to the world. No hiding game more. Hellboy's way to the eternal flight from the people - and from themselves - to put an end to demand and acceptance. Currently del Toro understands this like no other elements in modern cinema popcorn unite. (8 / 10)
