Rated: PG-13
And after Pan's Labyrinth we're right back to Hellboy. This sequel was commissioned shortly after the first's release and supposed to be put out in 2006, but Revolution Studios went out of business, putting the sequel on hold. Universal studios picked up a backdeal on Revolution's films and put this one forward. del Toro always wanted to at least craft a trilogy out of the Hellboy character and here was a second stab at it. The film expands upon and improves the universe set in the first film. It feels more comfortable with itself and makes for a much better film than the first go-round.
