Wherever he was in exile, it must have been underground. Bottom line: see the first movie for Hellboy, see this one for Princess Nuala and Prince Nuada. The rest of the movie, which is to say, the Hellboy part, is lackluster. And especially if you use the VLC media player (like I do) which allows you to watch a movie at any speed of your choice, and which allowed me to watch the boring parts at 2x. You know, if you’re into that kind of thing, which obviously I am. But the brother-sister relationship I’m going to talk about, the brother-sister relationship which got me to watch this movie in the first place, is great enough to warrant sitting through the rest of it. Well, that’s because I don’t think this movie is great. You may have noticed from the title of this post that my recommendation is tentative. They belong to the “Golden Army” part of the title. The brother and sister in question are not the main characters of the film. Oh, and the baby that was really a tumor. It also seems to be the main thing I liked about it (aside from the message about the environment and some fun special effects. The fact that the movie was listed on Television Tropes and Idioms’ page for Brother-Sister Incest was my first clue and also the reason why I in the end bothered to watch it despite not feeling intially inclined. I didn’t listen to all of the DVD commentary because I didn’t want to hear things that I didn’t want to hear (ignorance is bliss), but I listened to enough to get official corroboration. And, in case you question my reliability in that respect, I can offer you confirmation from director Guillermo del Toro and actor Luke Goss. Just kidding! There are a brother and sister and the incestuous feelings are heavily implied, and are not figments of my active and twisted imagination. You may be asking at this point where the brother and sister are.
