As keen as I am for the new Neil Marshall directed _Hellboy_ reboot, I do still wish we had gotten to see a _Golden Army_ sequel to wrap up Ron Perlman's trilogy. Here director Guillermo del Toro lets loose all bars on his fantasy elements, stacking the movie with elves, trolls, even tooth fairies, ... making for a less grim, but still very good _Hellboy_ sequel. Not to mention it features personal favourite Luke Goss in what is probably his best role to date. _Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._
