"As he has done in all his movies, from creature features such as MIMIC to serious dramas such as PAN'S LABYRINTH, del Toro creates unforgettable images, filled with color, texture, lyricism and horror." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
"By far the most splendidly imaginative and creatively uncorked piece of fantastic cinema since the director's PAN'S LABYRINTH netted an Oscar trifecta in 2007." - Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
"Director Guillermo del Toro is a mad genius, and I want to get drunk with him." - Mark Rahner, Seattle Times
The story of HELLBOY is not one that can be easily (let alone elegantly) maneuvered in your average Hollywood Blockbuster- a demon avenger from Hell, his pyrokinetic girlfriend and an ultra-intelligent fish-man work together to save the world from occult threats and supernatural enemies. But put these elements into the hands of visionary director Guillermo Del Toro (THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, PAN'S LABYRINTH), and the result is not only stunning to watch, but genuinely humane despite its own incredible inhumanity. As a director, Del Toro's gift for seamlessly weaving together playful and surreal imagery with shocking realism has created some of the most memorable and inspired films in recent history. And with every film he writes, directs and/or produces, his visions just keep getting more fantastic. With Guillermo once again at the helm for HELLBOY 2, it is sure to be one hell of a good time. Take all the best, most surreal designs from PAN'S LABYRINTH, then make everything bigger and even more extravagant and then make an entire underworld full of it unleash its wrath on the surface world (including an army of ancient golden robots), put your safety in the hands of a demon, sit back and enjoy.
