It's up to Hellboy (Ron Pearlman) and the gang at the BPRD to stop an all-out war between the human world and the world of magic.

A common truism in the world of film, is that the sequel is never as good as the original. It's really hard to repeat success. Everyone is trying to slavishly repeat the original while at the same time trying also trying to top it. Both paths often lead to failure. But sometimes there are exceptions. Comic book movies tend to be one of those exceptions. Sure there's stuff like Iron Man 2 that crashes and burns, but then there is also Superman 2, X2: X-Men United, Spider-Man 2 and of course, Hellboy II: The Golden Army. All the heavy lifting has been done by the first film. The characters have been set up and we understand the rules to the world our story takes place in. Now it's time to just have some serious fun!
