While many superhero films of the modern era rely on a formula of quips and CGI destruction, Hellboy II operates on a different frequency. It is less a comic book movie and more a dark fairy tale, reminiscent of the works of the Brothers Grimm or Jim Henson’s Labyrinth . The film picks up with Hellboy (Ron Perlman), the demon summoned by Nazis but working for the American government, struggling with domestic bliss and public perception. The plot concerns Prince Nuada, an elf seeking to awaken a mechanical army to wipe out humanity, forcing Hellboy to choose between his destiny as a beast and his desire to be human.
