I missed Hellboy I. Would I be lost in the sequel, or is there even a plot?

All work and no play? We really got to get you out more. Get you some real wheels. Your lawnmower probably hasn't taken you farther than a beer run to the 7-11. :-)

or is there even a plot?

Depends on the type of plot...

Oh yeah, the next time you’re at the 7-11 get Lily some gum. I get to watchin’ her peel gum off the bottom of her theater seat and miss most of the movie.:-)

The backstory (which I’m sure they’d repeat in the new movie) is that, during the Second World War, Nazi occultists attempted to open a portal in Hell. The Nazis were thwarted in time, but not before a demon baby came through the portal.

He was adopted and raised by an American occultist/scientist and named Hellboy. Hellboy now works as part of a Double Top Secret government agency—defending the world against demonic intrusions.

That’s about all there is to it. Oh, and he trims his horns because he’s trying to fit in.

Lily and I are fans but, if the trailer doesn’t strike you as entertaining—you may want to see something else when Cineplex fever strikes.
