Ok, ok… I haven’t given Hellboy 2: The Golden Army any coverage here on Screen Rant…
Although I thought the original film was cool in an offbeat kind of way, I watched it and almost immediately forgot about it (I should probably rent it and see it again). So when word came out about a sequel, I didn’t jump to cover it because frankly, there are a ton of movies coming out and I had enough to write about as it was.
I’m going to make up for that with this post showing new images released by Universal Pictures and the brand spanking new trailer. 
Above you can see Ron Perlman as Hellboy himself, with one big honkin’ gun and a few more images follow after the jump.

And here is the trailer for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
Director Guillermo del Toro returns to direct the sequel, which tells what happens when an ancient truce between the human world and the invisible realm is broken - and hell on Earth is ready to erupt.
Are you guys excited about this? It seems to me that maybe I should have been covering this as it looks pretty damned cool.

I loved Hellboy and am looking forward to the new movie for one reason: Ron Pearlman as Hellboy is one of the Best cast actors for a comic book translation EVER! Also I like the way that Guillermo mixes cgi with real costumes and props
Hey Vic, I have to chime in!
This looks AWESOME!!! I’m insanely excited for this! As insanely excited as I am for Dark Knight and Iron Man, Hellboy is my favorite comic book character ever and this has just topped my list. Guillermo has done it - he’s pulled off something that looks just incredible AND could be better than the first movie! So frickin’ awesome…!
Thought the first one started great- then went down hill fast.

The trailer was good.
I loved the first movie it was fun and epic, and these one seems to be more epic then the first one.
But I am a little bit woried for the new changes they have done like Liz’s and Abe’s uniform.
Plus who the hell is the new guy, and the gyant blue gorilla looked like MOLOCH from MORTAL COBAT.
And they over did it a bit with the Prince’s fighting style.
Olso was HB holding a baby when he was fighting the gyant octopus monster, did he just save the baby or is it an important part to the story.

Looks good I hope its hardcore. The last one seemed hampered by the rating. I think it was PG-13, it sure seemed like it was.
Also the sidekick on the first one seemed way out of place. I havnt seen that actor since ether. Pearlman kicks asss as this character so I hope its good!
I think the first Hellboy was extremely underrated. It didn’t have the flash of some of its superhero counterparts, but it had a lot more heart and a quirky sensibility.
I’m excited to see the sequel, though with all sequels I’m a little wary. It’s so hard not to screw it all up.
I’m glad to see that they got the cast back, though. There’s not enough Selma Blair in the world these days.
I had the same basic reaction to Hellboy that you did, Vic. Though I really enjoyed it, I could never quite justify spending ten bucks on the DVD. I’m not terribly excited for the sequel, although I’m sure it will be good - if I’ve got some extra money and I’m bored, I might see it in theatres, but otherwise I’m waiting for the DVD release. I think my general distaste for Selma Blair has something to do with it.
Looks great! Been checking on the progress of this film from time to time and it looks like this film be two and a half times better then the first. If Toro does HB2 as a R or hard PG13 rating, then the film will be at it’s best! 2008 will be great!
Know Hulk and Indy needs to show their hands(trailers)at the poker table of 2008.
man i just saw hellboy the first one a month and a half ago man it was alsome. now i just saw the new hellboy 2 trailer man i cant wait!!!
hell boy rules!!!!!!
Stargate: Atlantis called. They want their Wraith back.
Seriously though, I loved the first film and this looks like it’s going to be just as much fun as the first. I have to agree with the casting of Pearlman, he was made for this part. Much like Christopher Reeve was for Superman and Harrison Ford for Indiana Jones. This movie just adds to the list of movies that are in the “MUST SEE” category!!
I hope this movie is better than the first one, if it’s not i will write back and say how bad the movie is and how i expected it to be, plus am just a fan name Alfred Mj who wants to be an actor in the future, thank you and i can’t wait to see this movie.
hellboy rocks! Several years back i made my own hellboy halloween costume, stone hand, big gun and all. This year i plan to redo it, but with the gun from this film. Iron man, hulk watch out! Here comes hellboy!
