Thanks, but no thanks. That, apparently, is what the producers of Hellboy told Guillermo del Toro when he expressed an interest in making a third film in the franchise he brought to the screen. With apologies to Neil Marshall, it begs the ques...

The temptation is to remark that if Hellboy was the appetizer, then Hellboy II: The Golden Army is the main course. To an extent, that's true. The second film is more assured, better paced, and has a stronger emotional component. It takes chances...
