Doug Jones was dubbed over in the first movie without his knowledge, and didn't know he would be during filming. He came up with the voice and mannerisms, and in post they decided to replace his performance with David Hyde Pierce (Niles from FRASIER). When they asked Doug to return for the sequel, he actually had to FIGHT for the right to voice the character himself and won.
Also to David Hyde Pierce's integrity, after he heard Doug Jones' performance in the first film he wondered why he was even hired for the job and refused to take a credit on the film out of respect for Doug Jones' work. For similar reasons Pierce also turned down offers to voice Abe in future projects leading to those roles going to Doug Jones.
Del Toro promised never to dub over Doug Jones ever again, something he had to go back on with Pan's Labyrinth, but then he ended up doing it with Jones' blessing because he knew he wouldn't get the Spanish right.
@@anonymousfreedom4346 not just a movie, I would see a tv series of the Troll Market. He had something like that in the Night Market in What We Do In The Shadows.
The practical effects, costume design, and set design are unbelievable good in this movie. Some of the best ever. I wish del Toro got to make a third one.
How we never got a sequel to this, I'll never know. To say that Del Toro is an absolute genius is a vast understatement, and these movies (and all the rest of his works) are living proof of it.
I don't like this movie, only for the plot or rather the decisions characters made. All logical and made sense, just hate it. I'd side with the elf. That plant god, that thing was beautiful. Was so sad when it died.
Mike mignola and Del toro were always at odds when it came to Hellboy, del toro was doing his own thing and Mike wanted to follow the comics, he didn't like that Hellboy was having kids and so much other stuff.
Guillermo Del Toro and Mike Mignola had a severe falling out that ended both their personal and professional relationships with one another. So no third film.
The death of the elemental got to me as well - you understand why it had to die, but you wish it didn’t. Kudos to Prince Nuada for that move, he forced Hellboy to make a choice, end a species or let it kill, which is the same dilemma the elves faced. Either die, or reclaim.
We cannot determine that. We don't know enough about its biology. Many plants have only 1 set of sex organs, like Cycads for example. For all we know this being could be only one sex and, with no other members of its species left, those seeds will go to waste. Or for all we know, those seeds could just be there to grow other, non-magical trees
Yes I did the research and it says David Hyde did the original voice for Abe and the first one and then the second one they just gave the voice to Doug but to be honest it just sounds the same so I don't know
This is one of my favorite comic book movies ever. Really love that Del Toro just went full fantasy with it. Absolute shame he never got to do a third movie.
Luke Goss is a really underrated actor who does his own stunts. Often overlooked because of his physical performances you should look up some of his other films where he does some good acting. He did a good creature in the 2004 Frankenstein. As always, great respect for Selma Blair who continues to be a symbol of strength for all those who have life-affecting illnesses and injuries. And yes, it was Seth McFarlane who voiced Kraus. Fun movie, great reaction, but unfortunately there are no more. But, if you want more Del Toro weirdness, you need to see Pan’s Labyrinth.
This is not only one of my favorite comic book movies but one of my favorites of all time. The script is super memorable with great lines of dialog. Also one of the funniest cut to credits.
So David Hyde Pierce refused to really take credit for the part because he had immense respect for Doug Jones who is the physical actor for Abe. So by the time the second came around, he didn’t even want to do it. He said that Doug Jones should be the one to do it.
@prof.maniak5925 yeah. Gave this reaction a thumbs down for that, but changed to an upvote later. 😅 I think sometimes they miss important plot points, because they're devoting to much of their mental resources doing a technical critique of the film (from the perspective of industry people).
I love Del Toro's style, it's such a beautiful mix of otherwordly whimsical fantasy and horrifying dangerous. The second Hellboy was better than the first and I will forever be sad we never got a third.
Such a hard question. I like them both for different reasons. I like the first one for how fresh it was and though different than the comic book, it captured the spirit of it so well. And it was such a great origin story. On the other hand, the second one was such great pure horror fantasy. Reminded me of some of the best urban fantasy in literature. The second one is probably my favorite, overall. It’s better fantasy.
I love this one they really made you feel for the villain born of a race that love nature forced into a position where they can do nothing to stop its destruction.The prince's weapons were also really awesome and the way he used them,that throne room fight is spectacular.
Yep, I love the first one, but Golden Army is my fav of the Del Toro HB films. So much lore for this world, and as a fantasy nerd, this setting is amazing, blending "real" and fantastical.
"It's like, 'Darth Maul doesn't have s*&^ on me!'" LOL! YES!!!! There was a time when I spent two minutes a day angry that there would never be a Part III. THANKS for this!!!!
Woot this movie is great! One of the best sequel imo. Seth McFarlane is awsome as Kraus. Love how he got the same guy that played the villian in blade 2 to play the villian here. Luke goss has done some great villian chars.
In the first film Abe was played in-scene by Doug Jones and voiced by David Hyde Pierce, in this sequel Doug Jones does the whole performance. He also plays the Angel of Death and King Balor's counselor.
Sad there won't be a 3rd one. The mix of practical and Cgi in this film work so well. And Doug Jones killing it in multiple roles, the master. Seth McFarland was funny too.
I love the HellBoy movies. I just wish that Guillermo Del Toro and Ron Perlman would have made a third film in the series, but instead, we got a God awful reboot from 2019.
This is a very underrated movie, not perfect but still pretty good, lots of cool practical effects Prince Nuada was an interesting villain too, wishing mainly to protect his own race from extinction
When Rasputin dies in the first movie, we cheer, he's horrible. When Nuada dies, we cry! He had a point (kinda) and it's just sad, the world really does get poorer with his people's fading. He's tragic, and it's a shame him and Nuala had to die.
29:37 in defense of the first Hellboy there was no direct fight with Rasputin, but only the Behemoth entity that came out of him which made sense to be CGI. You also had Kronean as the more skilled fighter
I believe that's actually Doug Jones voice this time around for Abe. At the time I saw this in theaters it didn't throw me off as much since I had gotten used to seeing him in other movies and TV shows. But I understand it sounds different if you watch the Hellboy movies back to back, it's more noticeable. Also, it's a pretty funny the plot point in the beginning about Hellboy being exposed to the public since in the comics, he's a known public figure almost from the beginning. Which means that the comic book version's universe is populated by so much paranormal weirdness that some big red horned guy walking around seems mundane. Of course most of Hellboy's adventures take place outside of major cities. The series has him frequent very old world locations, country sides, and isolated areas the majority of the time, rarely in a big city like in the movies. Despite that, it's still pretty amusing that people in the comics, even in these settings, just react casually when Hellboy walks up and starts asking them questions about some creature they witnessed or encountered, while smoking a cigarette
Like gross is just amazing I love they brought him over from Blade two he plays Jared Nomak and the prince perfectly as the antagonist in both films, you get his reasons but it’s how he chooses to go about it.
An epic fantasy flick filled with great visuals and gripping action sequences that are well integrated in its immersive story. In my personal opinion, this is one of del Toro's best films.
I remember when this came out. For some reason, people weren't excited about it at the time. There was little enthusiasm, people wouldn't really talk about it despite the advertising. The Dark Knight came out the same year, and there was a ton of enthusiasm for that. Its a shame
@sugarandchaos I can't believe I watched it. I already had issue's with little creatures out to get me from Gremlins. forget giant monsters... little creatures are the true nightmare fuel.
I used to get breakfast at 4 am in New York when I was younger before I caught the train at 6 am back to Jersey to jump in the shower and get to work at 8, the city never sleeps
So glad you got to see this film. It’s my favorite of the two because of the creative new creatures, the princess and Abe’s budding love story, and beautiful sets.
FAB!! Luke Goss is on top form in the fight choreo, just like he was in Blade 2. In terms of tracking shots ... Have you guys watched the 1998 Brian De Palma thriller SNAKE EYES with Nicholas Cage and Gary Sinise ...12 min opening tracking shot - exquisite!! Well worth a reaction!
Not sure if it was mentioned, but if you're into anime watch the Fatal Fury Special film (Fatal Fury the motion picture) I think it's called sometimes. Literally the exact same story. Not sure if that's where Guillermo got the plot idea from. But it's crazy.
Great movie. Good reaction. Maybe turn the movie audio down on the headphones so they don't have to yell at each other to be heard? I mean, they're sitting 2 feet apart but talk like they're in separate rooms.
I highly recommend watching the making of of this. The practical and prop effects are ridiculous. Like the shot when Nuada holds up the green bean in the egg? They actually built a huge version of the egg and bean (and his thumb) to shoot the extreme close-up. Also the final shot of Nuada's statue body breaking apart is an actual prop statue getting destroyed in a controlled manner, which they apparently only had one shot at to get right.
Do yourselves a favor and watch the BTS documentary for this film. It is actually LONGER than the film, but very good. The artistry of del Toro and his team is second to none. It's all about love. Love for the source material, the characters, and the audience. Seriously, watch it.
When Roxy and Tara get to Curse Of Chucky and Cult Of Chucky, Greg better make sure they watch the unrated cuts for those movies since the theatrical cuts don't have the post credit scenes that set up the next installment because Greg keeps skipping the unrated versions like he did with The Descent, Jennifer's Body and the Saw movies.
What a gem among other comic movies! it's funny, spectacular, touching, scary and hideous. Guillermo had set unbelievably high plank with Hellboy 2. Now is 2024 and it has barely aged a day. Thanks for your reaction. I appreciate so much love for films that i adore myself so i dare to recommend you check 'Lone Ranger' with Johnny Depp, 'Sherlock Holmes' with Robert Downey Jr, 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' with Ralph Fiennes, 'La migliore offerta' with Geoffrey Rush, 'Escape Plan' with Sly and Arnie, 'The Watch' with Ben Stiller, 'Paul' with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Hey Guys, great reaction..enjoyed watching this again with u..i love both these films..this film was so creative..its a pity that Hellboy 2 didnt do very good at the box office cause Del Toro wrote a third film but studio wouldnt give him the budget he needed to finish the trilogy so he moved on...Real pity but i get it was a financial decision for the Studio..🥹 I think if they made it when MCU was a thing then maybe things would of been different but Comic Book movies didnt really make the big bucks back then..
So crazy that I couldn’t originally recall much of this movie besides the scenes in the beginning (up to the tooth fairy creatures part) and the creepy Angel of Death looking character, but I remember the cat lady and the inching of the blade towards _a_ heart so clearly. Strange that those parts of those scenes stuck in my mind, but I could never remember where they were from.
36:25 The woman was played by a hungarian actress and the agent who was killed by the tooth fairies earlier is also played by a hungarian actor because this movie was mostly filmed here in Hungary!!
With Dune 2 out, id like to point people to give John Carter another shot. Princess of Mars series is where nearly all modern scifi gets their ideas from. Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Dune, and even mideval drama GoT, all are heavily inspired by the John Carter and the Princess of Mars books.
I second this emotion. To me, a tremendously underrated movie that was a) poorly titled (even if they had just included “OF MARS” after “JOHN CARTER”, it would have been better) and b) poorly marketed. A much better movie than most people give it credit for.
Wouldn't work. In the past Mars was mysterious, but people can watch live streams from the surface and helicopter panning shots. We've physically seen what it is like so the suspension of disbelief is much much harder. You could maybe adapt some of the stories for a more distant planet, but that won't likely happen given just how big a bust it was at the box office.

I genuine believe that the Troll Market is exactly what it looks like inside of Guillermo Del Toro’s mind looks like.😊
Agreed
Troll Hunter show can confirm!
I believe the troll market would make a great movie
@@anonymousfreedom4346 not just a movie, I would see a tv series of the Troll Market. He had something like that in the Night Market in What We Do In The Shadows.

100% that movie unique hilarious and out of time. Pure pleasure every scene so impactful gesamtkunstwerk movie

I'd side with the elf. That plant god, that thing was beautiful. Was so sad when it died.
Because budget Guillermo asked for from the studio is way too high, but that was before he became a two-time Oscar winning Director
Mike mignola and Del toro were always at odds when it came to Hellboy, del toro was doing his own thing and Mike wanted to follow the comics, he didn't like that Hellboy was having kids and so much other stuff.
Guillermo Del Toro and Mike Mignola had a severe falling out that ended both their personal and professional relationships with one another. So no third film.
They tried but the studio didn't like the script it was gonna have to twins in it it was in a interview he said he tried for 4 years to get 3 made
I always love the scene of Kraus possessing the lockers to beat up Hellboy.
The face mold on the door is one of my favorite effects
I never laughed so hard my dad put me on these movies as a kid and I was beyond excited when I learned about golden army 😂
I see that u too much fuckused on that scene))
The death of the elemental got to me as well - you understand why it had to die, but you wish it didn’t. Kudos to Prince Nuada for that move, he forced Hellboy to make a choice, end a species or let it kill, which is the same dilemma the elves faced. Either die, or reclaim.
Well, funny thing, that tree god species actually spreads by spores, so Hellboy killing it actually just allowed it to finally not be the only one
@@samcochran8203 I guess humanity or some other force burned most of them during the war or something?
We cannot determine that. We don't know enough about its biology. Many plants have only 1 set of sex organs, like Cycads for example. For all we know this being could be only one sex and, with no other members of its species left, those seeds will go to waste.

Create dilemmas, not problems for your adversary.
Luke Goss played an amazing role, thanks to him Nuada became the remarkable antagonist he is
I remember Luke as drummer of 80s band Bros where his twin brother Matt was a singer.
Bada$$ martial artist as well.
You’re right. While Doug Jones played him in both, he was dubbed over in the first film but not the second
I love that David Hyde Pierce refused to be credited for dubbing Abe’s lines because he felt it would detract from Doug’s performance.
Yes I did the research and it says David Hyde did the original voice for Abe and the first one and then the second one they just gave the voice to Doug but to be honest it just sounds the same so I don't know
This is one of my favorite comic book movies ever. Really love that Del Toro just went full fantasy with it. Absolute shame he never got to do a third movie.

And yes, it was Seth McFarlane who voiced Kraus.
Fun movie, great reaction, but unfortunately there are no more. But, if you want more Del Toro weirdness, you need to see Pan’s Labyrinth.
Yaasssss! Pan’s Labyrinth ❤❤
One of the few instances where the sequel surpassed the original.
Like Alien/Aliens and The Terminator/2
And Star Wars/Empire Strikes Back
Batman Begins/The Dark Knight
The Raid/The Raid 2
Suicide Squad/The Suicide Squad
Puss in Boots/The Last Wish
It'll blow their minds when they find out Seth McFarlane is Krauss.
Wait seriously 😮?
@@sidtheviciouscritic7292 yup!!! =))
I swear than man is in everything 🙄 😂😂
I can see/hear that. Especially the last line he does at the end.
oh why did you say that? I really liked this character( Now it seems to me that he influenced the script
This is not only one of my favorite comic book movies but one of my favorites of all time. The script is super memorable with great lines of dialog. Also one of the funniest cut to credits.

53:40 Wow, she really overthought this, when they say the army is “indestructible” it means the army just repairs itself
Was painful lol

Same here.
Which HELLBOY flick is your favorite??
1st one. Kroenen the best.
I think this one is my favourite . Although it’s different tone wise it’s for me more enjoyable . Plus the fight scenes are insanely good
Such a hard question. I like them both for different reasons. I like the first one for how fresh it was and though different than the comic book, it captured the spirit of it so well. And it was such a great origin story.

This one.
- "Give him a reason to live."
- "You`re going to be a father."
- "No, I said give him a reason to LIVE."
Nah, one kid is fine but twins... about time Hellboy goes to the gas station for some Newports and doesn't come back 🤣
Can we just get a shirt of Tara yelling “Ring the Bell!”
Please???
Front could be her "CITIZENS OF THE REJECT NATION!!!"
The back could be her "Ring the BEEEELL, RING THE BELL!!!"
I just realized that they liked my comment, I’ve been seen
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 even freaking better
Yep, I love the first one, but Golden Army is my fav of the Del Toro HB films. So much lore for this world, and as a fantasy nerd, this setting is amazing, blending "real" and fantastical.
Prince Nuada is THAT DUDE
"It's like, 'Darth Maul doesn't have s*&^ on me!'" LOL! YES!!!! There was a time when I spent two minutes a day angry that there would never be a Part III. THANKS for this!!!!
Same here, in terms of grieving for the never-made third movie.
Woot this movie is great! One of the best sequel imo. Seth McFarlane is awsome as Kraus. Love how he got the same guy that played the villian in blade 2 to play the villian here. Luke goss has done some great villian chars.
Luke was so good! Both in this and Blade 2
In the first film Abe was played in-scene by Doug Jones and voiced by David Hyde Pierce, in this sequel Doug Jones does the whole performance. He also plays the Angel of Death and King Balor's counselor.
Hellboy at full power is more powerful than Thanos with all the Infinity Stones.
Reference to Arnold in Kindergarten Cop:
"It's not a tumor!"
Reminds of "Lucy, Daughter of the Devil" (under-rated series, IMHO) and H Jon Benjamin voicing Terry the Teratoma.
Sad there won't be a 3rd one.
The mix of practical and Cgi in this film work so well.
And Doug Jones killing it in multiple roles, the master.
Seth McFarland was funny too.
I like the fact that Hellboy is actually the villain in this movie
45:24 I had to look it up because the voice sounded so familiar, and I was 100% right. Seth MacFarlane is the voice of Johann Krauss
I love the HellBoy movies.
I just wish that Guillermo Del Toro and Ron Perlman would have made a third film in the series, but instead, we got a God awful reboot from 2019.
Reboot just bad
you did it! can’t wait to watch this, one of my favourite movies ever
So excited for this sequel reaction! One of the few decent sequels out there. Love this Tara/Andrew reaction duo too. Funny and informative.
This is a very underrated movie, not perfect but still pretty good, lots of cool practical effects
Prince Nuada was an interesting villain too, wishing mainly to protect his own race from extinction
The puppets at the intro are so cool I almost wish it was like that the whole film.
Not ashamed to say that i had the biggest crush on Prince Nuada growing up 🫠
He's *gorgeous*
When Rasputin dies in the first movie, we cheer, he's horrible. When Nuada dies, we cry! He had a point (kinda) and it's just sad, the world really does get poorer with his people's fading. He's tragic, and it's a shame him and Nuala had to die.

Tara’s Energy is unmatched. Love her. 🙏🏾
really enjoyed Hellboy ll. this made me want to go and rewatch it.
Like gross is just amazing I love they brought him over from Blade two he plays Jared Nomak and the prince perfectly as the antagonist in both films, you get his reasons but it’s how he chooses to go about it.
"Yup, you're in love. Have a beer." 😂 A gentleman and a scholar.
14:30 My favorite scene♥ The Tooth Fairy hungrily crawled into his pants
Seth MacFarlane was so underrated as Krauss. I kinda wish that he used that voice on Family Guy.
American Dad has a German accent goldfish. Is that not Seth?
No that's Dee Bradley Baker.
They don't even sound alike
"The Golden army must not be awakened"
A few hours later:
An epic fantasy flick filled with great visuals and gripping action sequences that are well integrated in its immersive story. In my personal opinion, this is one of del Toro's best films.
I love him! "Sounds like the Deku tree from Zelda!" Nice
I remember when this came out. For some reason, people weren't excited about it at the time. There was little enthusiasm, people wouldn't really talk about it despite the advertising. The Dark Knight came out the same year, and there was a ton of enthusiasm for that. Its a shame
33:52-Lol literally EVERYONE who's reacted to this movie has said that 😂
Lol The Flash will now always make me think of CGI babies haha
Based on your reaction to the first part of this movie, y'all might like to react to the 2010 Guillermo Del Toro movie: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
The nightmares that bloody film gave me. The stove bit at the end ugh, makes my skin crawl. 😬
@sugarandchaos I can't believe I watched it. I already had issue's with little creatures out to get me from Gremlins. forget giant monsters... little creatures are the true nightmare fuel.
I don’t think Andrew likes the Rasputin fight😭
Del Toro has said he needs 200
Mill
To make his 3rd film and knows it hard for a studio to give him that much for a older franchise
and now every shitty disney movie blows that out the water...
I absolutely love the Golden Army, from the designs to how they can repair themselves.
It's all awesome
You guys need to check out 'The Devil's Backbone' That movie is amazing! Also 'Pan's Labyrinth'
I used to get breakfast at 4 am in New York when I was younger before I caught the train at 6 am back to Jersey to jump in the shower and get to work at 8, the city never sleeps
I love this movie so much, particularly the last shot, I've grown to love movies that just END with a BANG.
Btw, if you guys haven't seen Pan's Labyrinth (another del Toro film), it's amazing as well. Definitely recommend it if you guys haven't.
Tara! Andrew! Was wondering if you two were going to watch the 2nd! Awesome! It's a solid sequel.
The cgi is great in this one better than a lot of more modern films
So glad you got to see this film. It’s my favorite of the two because of the creative new creatures, the princess and Abe’s budding love story, and beautiful sets.
FAB!! Luke Goss is on top form in the fight choreo, just like he was in Blade 2. In terms of tracking shots ... Have you guys watched the 1998 Brian De Palma thriller SNAKE EYES with Nicholas Cage and Gary Sinise ...12 min opening tracking shot - exquisite!! Well worth a reaction!

Some of my friends worked on this back in the day. They made of the background characters for the underground market.
This is the perfect sequel in my opinion. One of my favorite Guillermo Del Toro films of all time ❤
0:31 - That was…I FELT THAT
It's such a shame that there're no more Hellboy movies after this
I hate that they never made this a trilogy
The first film had a budget of 60-70 million and the second 85 million. It also looks better than what we are getting more and more of these days.
so stoked to watch this with y'all i might need to re-subscribe to patreon for this one
I loved how he basically yelled at her during the market fight lol 😆
Yall should check out the hellboy animated movies they really nail the horror aspect of hellboy without taking away from how great the live action was
Totally agree.
Yes, those movies are great! The animated movies are one hundred percent better than the awful reboot we got a couple of years ago
Great movie. Good reaction. Maybe turn the movie audio down on the headphones so they don't have to yell at each other to be heard? I mean, they're sitting 2 feet apart but talk like they're in separate rooms.
Glad I'm not the only one who cried when the twins died 😭
That market scene is one of the best practical effects scenes of all time lol
Andrew's screaming is my favorite. Lol

I appreciate so much love for films that i adore myself so i dare to recommend you check 'Lone Ranger' with Johnny Depp, 'Sherlock Holmes' with Robert Downey Jr, 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' with Ralph Fiennes, 'La migliore offerta' with Geoffrey Rush, 'Escape Plan' with Sly and Arnie, 'The Watch' with Ben Stiller, 'Paul' with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Hey Guys, great reaction..enjoyed watching this again with u..i love both these films..this film was so creative..its a pity that Hellboy 2 didnt do very good at the box office cause Del Toro wrote a third film but studio wouldnt give him the budget he needed to finish the trilogy so he moved on...Real pity but i get it was a financial decision for the Studio..🥹 I think if they made it when MCU was a thing then maybe things would of been different but Comic Book movies didnt really make the big bucks back then..
57:24 It's sad when you see that Abe can cry after all, when earlier he said he couldn't.
You want more Del Toro with Ron Perlman? Try "Pacific Rim". Kaiju and Giant Robots! What more could you want??
Hell yeah, notification squad
So crazy that I couldn’t originally recall much of this movie besides the scenes in the beginning (up to the tooth fairy creatures part) and the creepy Angel of Death looking character, but I remember the cat lady and the inching of the blade towards _a_ heart so clearly. Strange that those parts of those scenes stuck in my mind, but I could never remember where they were from.
36:25 The woman was played by a hungarian actress and the agent who was killed by the tooth fairies earlier is also played by a hungarian actor because this movie was mostly filmed here in Hungary!!
24:59 monster:get your fresh fish right here!
Abe:do i look like a joke to you?
With Dune 2 out, id like to point people to give John Carter another shot. Princess of Mars series is where nearly all modern scifi gets their ideas from. Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Dune, and even mideval drama GoT, all are heavily inspired by the John Carter and the Princess of Mars books.
I second this emotion. To me, a tremendously underrated movie that was a) poorly titled (even if they had just included “OF MARS” after “JOHN CARTER”, it would have been better) and b) poorly marketed. A much better movie than most people give it credit for.
Wouldn't work. In the past Mars was mysterious, but people can watch live streams from the surface and helicopter panning shots. We've physically seen what it is like so the suspension of disbelief is much much harder. You could maybe adapt some of the stories for a more distant planet, but that won't likely happen given just how big a bust it was at the box office.
Definitely my favorite Hellboy movie
I would like to see you watch guillermos labyrinth of the faun
Prince Nuada: "Is there anyone here who would dispute my right?"
Tara: "Uh, Yeah. We all do, I think."
Tara, you are so subtly funny. I love it!😂
You just can't help but be in awe of GdL's imagination when you watch this one.
Doug Jones's also plays the Asset in Shape of water, in my mind it's Abe Sapiens origin story 😤. Love that movie too
I've been dying to rewatch this one. Glad to see it with the Reel Rejects! Hellboy 2 Rules!
I NEED them to watch Pacific Rim (2013) that’s definitely one of my favorite Del Toro movies!!!
Agor... Let it go~ Let it go~ 😆
I love the Hellboy movies, well the first two. 💜 Great job on the review.
