I thought that it was better than the first. It was Sci-Fi, not the very religious Nazi things. Don't take me wrong, I like the first one too, but it was a lot scarier than this one. I think the only scary scene in this movie is when the tooth fairies try to eat everyone and kill some characters. The end of this movie was really good, though. It makes you wonder what happens next, which I think is a very good way to end a movie. The bad stuff is, there was a lot of products featured in the movie. It's not obvious, but if you re-watch the movie, you are bound to notice it. I think that commonsensemedia is not right. There ARE positive role models. The bad role models are minor characters, but yes, it puts the main character/s under pressure. But the characters love each other, and they are willing up to give anything for one another. That sounds like good role models to me. Also, the director leaves you off thinking that HellBoy is a good father. Overall, great movie.

What Parents Need to Know
About Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Parents need to know that this action-packed sequel includes a plethora of scary monsters and supernatural creatures and extensive fantastic violence, including shootings, superhuman fist-fights, and grisly deaths at the hands of nightmarish creatures. That said, the movie's overall tone is so light and fantastical that it never becomes too oppressive or grim for fantasy-loving teens and adults, and its sheer visual imagination is stunning to behold. The title character is a demon, albeit one with a soft spot for kittens. He likes his cigars and Baby Ruth candy bars; characters also drink, and other brands pop up here and there.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the film's underlying message of tolerance. What's more important, how someone looks, or how they act? How does the movie move Hellboy toward adult responsibility (although he ages slowly and is supernatural, Hellboy is fairly immature and teen-like at the beginning of the film)? Does that strike any chords with teens? What does being "human" mean for Hellboy? Where does he have the power of choice?

This Movie is A LOT Better than the First
The first one was scary and really macabre, but this one is more about fantasy and sci-fi than the 'raise the dead, nazi' stuff. There are a lot of scary parts, especially at the beginning, but when you get down to it, it's a violent love story. =) Very cute.

If This Movie Kicked Off the Franchise, I Wouldn't Have Seen Part 2
I was very disappointed by the second installment of this franchise. I loved the first Hellboy, but I absolutely hated this one.

A really good movie i think parent should think about.
This movie is great for someone 13+. I think anyone under this age wouldnt get the material in this movie. And I think someone 10+ could stand the violence.

proliferate violence not appropriate for any age
I think that the producers, actors, and anyone involved in making this movie are irresponsible and thoughtless as to how violence on the screen affects teen-agers and young children.

let us all have a laugh at this
A year ago a movie like this was supposed to be good "I mean come on what happened"(qtd. The Dark Knight). The big red guy is a damn girl in this one compared to the first one. The badass from the first movie is completely non existent in this one almost a different character all together. Plus every line that hellboy has is forced and doesn't feel right. The movie itself was made more into a joke after the original which was truly outstanding. I dont like the direction the movie went and where a possible third could go from here, which shouldn't even be a thought right now.
