Question

How does Hellboy 2 compare to the first Hellboy movie?

Answer 1

Better in all aspects, but both were great.

Answer 2

I liked both movies, but I thought the first was much better. The story in the second movie didn't seem very original and the humor wasn't as fresh.

Answer 3

I liked them both, but I liked the second one even better, even though it seemed to copy some of the sequences from the first one. HB2 still had a better story, better character development, and more imaginative visuals.
