Product Description
Universal Pictures Hellboy II: The Golden Army [Blu-ray]
Amazon.com
The feverish iHellboy II: The Golden Army/i is a very busy sequel that might have looked unhinged in the hands of a less visionary director than Guillermo del Toro. Ron Perlman returns as Hellboy, aka "Red," the Dark Horse Comics demon-hero with roots in the mythical world but personal ties in the human realm. Still working, as he was in iHellboy/i, for a secret department of the federal government that deals (as in "Men In Black") with forces of the fantastic, Red and his colleagues take on a royal elf (Luke Goss) determined to smash a longtime truce between mankind and the forces of magic. Meanwhile, Red's relationship with girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), who can burst into flames at will, is going through a rocky stage observed by Red's fishy friend Abe (Doug Jones), himself struck by love in this film. Del Toro brilliantly integrates the ordinary and extraordinary, diving into an extended scene set in a troll market barely hidden behind the facade of typical city streets. He also unleashes a forest monster that devastates an urban neighborhood, but then--interestingly--brings a luminous beauty to the same area as the creature (an "elemental") succumbs to a terrible death. Del Toro's art direction proves masterful, too, in a climactic battle set in a clockworks-like stronghold tucked away in rugged Irish landscape. But it's really the juxtaposition of visual marvels with not-so-unusual relationship issues that gives iHellboy II/i a certain jaunty appeal hard to find in other superhero movies. --iTom Keogh/ibrbr brbrbr span class="h1"strongStills from IHellboy II: The Golden Army/I (Click for larger image)/strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" cellspacing="4"p p tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB1_S.jpg" br /tdp tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB2_S.jpg" br /td tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB3_S.jpg" br/tdp tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB4_S.jpg"br/td p tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB5_S.jpg"br/td tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB6_S.jpg"br/td br/tdp tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB7_s.jpg"br/td p td img border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB8_S.jpg"br/td tdimg border="0" align=left src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/DVD/universal/hellboy/HB9_S.jpg"br/td /tr /table /p

I'm in iraq and it always takes a few days but it came in round 8-10 days which is still pretty good. Cause most stuff takes two weeks but 8 days is pretty much the best yall get.
One for the Fans January 6, 2009
Santeria (Tallahassee)
Visually, Viscerally, and in the context of the original fans of HELLBOY, this film is excellent.There is far more detail, far more of the mythos that has been created in other films. At one point in the extras, it is even stated that HELLBOY II is a sequel to PAN'S LABYRINTH, which is kind of odd, because I thought HELLBOY II was a sequel to the First HellBoy. A very extreme fan of Helboy told me that Hellboy II was more true to the HellBoy Series, and it was then that I thought, aha thats why it feels so different. Its not really moving on from the First film, its kind of doubling back and covering ground that maybe the creators thought they should cover in the first film. br / br /The characters are more fleshed out in Hellboy II, so in that respect, its more detailed, but I guess it was not what I was expecting, which I guess is good. Since I did enjoy it. And the groundwork is definitely laid for a HELLBOY III if that is ever touted. But in the meantime, this is a pretty good show. The Visuals are great, the audio is great... its a Great experience, however it IS very different to the first HELLBOY. br /The Triple disc is worth it if you are willing to filter through some drivel. The Commentaries are good, however Del Toro makes it feel like a Film School commentary, but occasionally he does get entertaining, which is odd, because his Documentary material is mostly good. I say mostly good, but some of it on disc 2 is bordering on boring.The Commentary on disc one is mostly fun, but anything with Selma Blair is kind of nice to listen to, no matter what, but I guess I have a bias. The rest of the DVD extras expand on the rather contradictory theme of the sometimes br /good, sometimes boring theme, but nothing inbetween. Del Toro's work seems to specialise in polarising any fans. br / br /Regardless, the end product here is great, and to a large extent, seeing how Del Toro got that product is very Fascinating. Also, the Digital Copy goes great on the Classic 120 Gig Ipod, with Great Sound. br /If you are lucky enough to get the Special Pack from BEST BUY, the Bonus Model and Documents are extremely cool... well worth another 40 bucks or so.
