Much in the spirit with the first movie, Hellboy II was fun. My only complaint was that the movie was not playing on a digital projector and the theatre I saw it at played it just didn't do the visuals justice (low projector bulb setting). The story moves at a good pace and the characters are well developed. Underneath the adventure story is a actually a very deep message about how mankinds actions are making the world a poorer place for everyone...
