Not much more to add here that hasn’t already been said in my Hellboy review. The sequel is bigger and glossier than the first, but not better. I found the humour to be a bit more obvious, and I wasn’t a fan of all the aliens that have now been added. As mentioned before though, I am not familiar with the comic, so this element may be true to the book.

Having said all that though, it’s still very enjoyable and del Toro makes another solid and entertaining comic book adaptation.
