Hellboy 2: A very good sequel and unlike other comics turned into movies, very strong acting from actors who seem to take their roles seriously and like the characters they play.
As always, Ron Perlman shows he is a strong capable actor, as does Selma Blair and Doug Jones. I like, someone else here mentioned earlier, would have liked David Hyde Pierce to have voiced Abe Sapien.... however, I can also understand the actor playing the character wanting to have his voice used, plus I'm sure production costs may have been a consideration. Don't get me wrong, Doug Jones did a great job.
To me the best part was the drunken Hellboy and Abe singing Barry Manilow over their love for their women. It added a sense of humanity to the characters, showed their sensitive sides, it was truly a great addition to the film.
I would have liked to have seen more of the "underworld", but that maybe saved for Hellboy 3.
Overall, it was one of the better movies I have seen in awhile.... I have to give it a 10/10, simply because it was everything I looked for in a movie. Great mindless entertainment that when it ended left me wanting more. Very few movies do that for me anymore.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
