Plot

After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, Hell on Earth is ready to erupt. An impassioned otherworldly prince, driven mad by man's wanton behaviour, defies his bloodline and begins a quest for the final key that will awaken an unstoppable army. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, most charmless anti-hero to save an ungrateful humanity from their demise. Rarely is a follow-on better than the original, but however much I enjoyed the first movie adaptation of the Hellboy' graphic novels, Del Toro has mustered up an even more creative, visually stunning and coherent slice of utter escapism - while Luke Goss's anguished baddie is one of the most empathetic characters to have graced the action flick in a good long while.
