Hellboy II: The Golden Army

This sequel was very entertaing. Hellboy aka Red is a truly funny hero. Not this is no X-men or Hancock not even Wanted style movie. There is something the whole family, adults, teen, and kids could definitely enjoy. The is action and beautiful cinematography that is on par. For you ladies there is romance, for you guys there's action and Cuban cigars. The comedy keeps you smiling an chuckling throughout the film. The villain is a freaking badass with martial arts flaring and what a villian should be, IMO. He kind of looks like Tom Cruise if he was an elf with white hair and creepy eyes. Oh wait, that how Tom Cruise looks. Ha. Oh well. I recommend this to you all. I enjoyed it alot. Also, for you Family Guy lovers Seth McFarlene voices the German character Johann Krauss. It is awesome.

Synopsis:
With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world's toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army." Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," "Hellboy").

After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).

Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development--pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann--the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.
