Id like to start this review with a big SPOILER_WARNING but as this movie as no plot I couldn't ruin any twists if i wanted to. And i do love ruining the end of stories for people, I don't know why, its kinda mean, anyway...
Hellboy 2 is a comedy! and not the good type of comedy like terminator 3 (as T2 is arguably one of the best films evar and could not be improved upon: so fine rewrite it has a comedy. With big tits)
Hellboy 2 amazing-ness comes from the shear volume of jokes and gags in its first hour. Just about every sentence ends in a punchline. Any other movie would have required 3 dozen rewrites and Patton Oswald to stay on set as a professional fluffer stoking jokes on set.
Then everybody falls in love. Liz uses her powers mostly while pouting cause shes all prego and overly emotional and yah cranky bitches thats cool, then lots of left over designs from pans labyrinth show up in various monster forms usually identifying what a monster is by adding eyeballs to places they shouldn't be (or Del Toror watched Stardust way to many fucking times).

Hellboy and Abe get drunk in their pajamas and talk about girls. (added note i was pretty drunk at this point and kinda squinty eyed but i think they got drunk on steel reserve and I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse) Abe fell in love with this fugly bitch :

The main villain her brother is this effeminate prissy fag :

And they are named :

Ending with a battle were Hellboy apparently is possessed by a crazed spider-monkey after a blood transfusion from John Woo and he kicks the shit outta some Rock Lords.
OH! lets not forget the last piece of hilarity this movie gives up at the very end: Hellboy says : "hows the baby Liz?" and in a shocking bit of film noir Liz holds up the two finger piece sign signifying *gasp* Twins!

At this point I have closed my eyes and imagined Hellboy dropping some thermite grenades at Liz's feet and climbing into a refrigerator. Cause if there was ever a point when somebody needed so badly to jump over a shark or nuke a fridge its right fucking now.
In defense of The Golden Army the visuals are pretty fucking cool.
As i am drunk pretty much anytime in public or after 3pm i can say drunk is not the best way to get any enjoyment out of this film. Seems best to wait for rental, pop that bad boy in your blueray player, sit yourself down to your oversized HD television drop some low grade acid or at least robotrip with 3 bottles of Robitussin turn the volume all the way down and hit play.
