3 regular sets plus 2 deluxe sets = ALOT of money for Xage to spend! Plus all the AWESOME exclusives, here comes another 8 sets of the SAME movie! HURRAY!
Since this mistake has been posted at other sites, it must be in the press release. It's "Luke Goss" not Luke Gross.
I still wish they get better art for the 3 disc DVD. Cool that it is coming on 11/11.
Yes!!!! DTS HD Master Audio 7.1!!!!
Full details added
Loved the film - one of the most original, wildly entertaining comic book movies ever - a complete joy.
I'm highly tempted to go with that 3-disc gift-set. We'll see what Santa brings me this year, eh?

Wow - it made over $75MM at the box office!
Oh, wait - does that mean it still has $25MM to go before it hits a full $1 centimeter???

This did randomly well in the UK, though I didn't think it was anything amazing. However the costumes and creatures in the film were outstanding.
I wish they would just give us a release date already.
At least that great artwork is now a poster instead of just a DVD case
Additional artwork added for the giftset
This was an awesome film. I love Del Toro's films, but the first Hellboy didn't do the trick for me, and this was blew my brains out of the seat. Incredible sets and effects, great action sequences and even some nice romance thrown in for our pleasure. A total delight.
yeah, you really are. digital copies are a waste of plastic, and companies use them to lie to consumers (re: same extras on 1st disc in both editions, but they're only listed on the "2-disc special edition", making you think its the only way to get the extras.) they're total BS
I love the one disc artwork!! The 3 disc artwork isn't that great sadly. Anyways i'm just going to get the one disc version because i wasn't exactly in love with this movie.
I wonder if they will release another big special edition for this 3 months after...
can someone tell me wht digital copies r??
Wow that 1 disc art is kick ass.
Great artwork for the 1 disc edition...still, obviously a blu-ray buy...specially for the alley in HD...
What doea $75MM mean on the back cover?
Whatever happened to 2-disc DVDs?
I like the single-disc artwork a lot better than the three-disc one.
And will this be a digital copy that is iPod compatible? I hate getting a DVD, excited for the digital copy only to find out later that it's only Windows compatible.

both 1 and 2 were mediocre........
sweet
Gotta get the 3-disc to go with my 3-disc of the first flick...though those digital copies are really getting on my nerves...
I'll most likely be getting the 1-disc, as this doesn't seem to be a film that I need to splurge on. Though I do give it an 8.
I heard that it comes out on November 18, same day as Wall-E.

hey can someone tell me if i should buy this movie cuz i want to but haven't cn it loved the 1st.
does anyone noe when it comes out, Please respond

Guillermo Del Toro loves to go all out with these Hellboy DVD releases, doesn't he?
Artwork is okay.
Very nice artwork! Not sure if I'll go 1 disc or 3 (the "Digital copy" has to be the most pointless gimmick ever).
Highres artwork added

I always found the original promos (including the HB one on the cover) to be mildly interesting, but overall a bit disappointing compared to the work from the first film.
Anyway, this movie kicked all kinds of ass, and should've been released in the fall to get the attention it deserves.
The character posters of Hellboy, Abe, and Liz were nice teasers but weren't made for the DVD art. Weak cover. I think that first one would've been good for the single disc and the second one for the 3-disc.

I'm liking it, this dvd looks nearly as good as Pan's Labyrinth.
I'm Getting The 3-Disc To Go With My 3-Disc Of The First One.
I went to the cinema to see this today. Borderline awful film. The funny bits weren't, ah, funny. The Golden Army were the most pointless, non-threatening villains ever (they'll destroy the world! Except Hellyboy wiped about 100 of them out without blinking an eye) and the whole thing just didn't work.
well... i didn't like the first one:/ but the GOLDEN ARMY is so cool
the story of the movie is great but its too big 4 HELLBOY u know ?! i didn't like "Red" but i loved "Liz", "Prince Nuada" & "Princess Nualla" as well, they r great and Abe 2
Cool - BD for me although I would have preferred a Hellboy or a group statue...
That was fast, i guess it was this fast because this movie really sucked
Love the 3 disc artwork. I missed the movie in the theatre, but will definately pick it up. I love the pic of Selma Blair on the ad. Brings new meaning to the phrase "she's hot."

Missed this in theaters. Will definitely add it to my Blu-ray collection blindly, though.
I don't think there will be a DC since he was given much freedom with this movie...not as good as Iron Man, but better overall than TDK...will be getting the blu-ray (hopefully) for sure...nice artwork...
I actually liked HB2 better, I enjoyed them both, this was one of my favorite movies of the summer. I would love love to get the collector's set containing the 3-disc BluRayrelease for $59.98 with the Limited Golden Army Statue. Not sure if I wanna shell out $60.00 since I got the first box set at Sam's Club for $8.
Yes I will say it again, I HATE them using the digital copy to make sets 2 or 3 disc sets, LAME.

I agree 100%. I had to shelve out $30 for The eye (2-disc edition) because the 1-disc was bare bones. I think that they should include a lot of extra material on the 1-disc and make this 3-disc worth it too.

Blu Gift-Set for me!
I greatly enjoyed the first Hellboy and I did this film even more! I am so happy to see that this will be getting the 3-Disc treatment, even if the third disc is a digital copy. Considering it wasn't a complete hit I surely wasn't expecting it. I also really like the coverart! It's very classy but I would have prefered if instead of the big HB face they used the poster where he's kneeling but no big deal. Cannot wait to get it!
amazing movie. I liked the first one, but this one was definately an improvement over that one. I'll definately pick it up on bluray.
More HB Sequels, Please?
That nifty Golden Army Statue will look dandy next to my Hellboy collectible figurine from the last collector's box set they put out for Hellboy.
I do hope someone takes up the reigns from GDT and make more Hellboy movies. Sure, it will miss his touch but the blueprint is there and the franchise is rather healthy after the sequel which sometimes can spell the end of franchise. I know, its against the grain but I could watch several more sequels even if Del Toro only Exec Produces like Jackson is doing with the Hobbit.

im so upset i missed this in theaters.

will pick up.

A light let down for me, but otherwise I really liked Hellboy 2. Maybe i'll pick up the set.
Not sure if I want to wait and see if they do a Directors Cut again.
This film was absolutely epic. One of the year's best for me. Can't wait to pick up the 3-disc, and I love the artwork, but I hope a director's cut doesn't arrive down the road like the first film. I know I'll have to pick that up aswell!

the artwork is EXCELLENT! i love it
Will get the special edition on blu if possible.
I missed this in theatres but I will definately pick up the three-disc set. The first one was great.
Even though I'm sure I'll love it I don't think I will need a digital copy. I am not a hater of the digital copies but I would rather have them give us a code and retrieve the digital copy on iTunes rather than have a disc added to the set.

I know you have to fill the promo boxes Tom, but I think 'hit film' is pushing it a bit for this one

I remember an interview with Del Toro saying there won't be a Director's cut. He said all the scenes he cut were cut for a reason, he didn't like them and didn't feel they belong to the film. We'll get deleted scenes for sure, but no DC.
He said in that same interview how jam packed this dvd should be. Since day 1 of shooting, he has camera crews following him and the cast around, sort of a production diary. Del Toro, like Peter Jackson, really puts effort into his dvds.

Yeah I think you are.Think it`s totally useless. Even more irritating is the fact that it`s so largely written on a number of recent covers. If they put it on there, fine but don`t ruin the cover while doing it!! Look at the Wall-E cover for example...
As for this title: I`ll be getting the giftset to match the one of the first movie :D

5 discs sets! They're really asking for it...
Thing is though, I doubt anyone would complain if the damn things were useful. Or like, not have it be the extra disc. Pack it in there sure, but like, beneath the plastic in a separate paper case or something (like the bundles at Wal-Mart or whatever). Because it's just the fact that they're using them to promote "2 disc sets" (in this case 3) when it's in fact 1 disc (2 discs) with an extra thing. If my copy of Juno hadn't come with a T-shirt, I'd have been royally pissed.
/rant.
I loved this one. Much better than the first, but they're both really so similar to each other in terms of mood and tone and everything, that it's hard to sat that. I guess this one "did it for me" more.
Although I'll probably wait for something more akin to the [actual] 3 disc set of the first one.
You know I can't smile without you...

Damn! That sure was fast! This only came out in the UK TODAY!!
I actually preferred the first film, but they were very different, and kudos to Maestro Del Toro for giving us some variety and not just the same stuff over again.
I'm DEFINITELY holding off on this one and waiting for the Director's Cut (The Digital Bits had information that there's something special in the works to match the first film's 3-disc set).

Nice artwork, cool set.
Nice artwork! I'm fine with them being 3-disc, they're not charging any more than they would for a Special Edition (unlike the upcoming DisneyFile copies).
I liked this movie OK but was kind of not in the mood to see a movie when I did so I look forward to getting the Blu-ray and having a better sit.

I liked Hellboy II: The golden army. It was a very good movie despite the beginning running slow. I will probably pick up the 3-disc edition but damn Universal stop using 3 discs just for an excuse of digital copies. Fox is doing them, Lionsgate is doing them, Disney is doing them, Sony is doing them, and now these people. It's getting out of hand.
Loved the first HB and loved HB II even more.
Perlman was absolutely born to play Red.
I have to wonder why they didn't just go with Doug Jones voice for Abe in the first one? He was great if not better than Hyde-Pierce. And Seth McFarlane was surprisingly good as the voice of Johann. Stole many a scene he was in. (Loved the locker room fight!)
Definitely be picking up the 3-Disc set.
