Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Tim Kerr-Thomson If you enjoyed the original this will definitely disappoint. Effectively this is about a retired sportsman who wants to make a comeback. Not much more in it than that. Not witty or clever. Some attempts at humour are just obvious over the top crudity. It's a sequel that should not have been made.

evanston_dad The first "Goon" was a surprising little gem of a comedy, featuring a potty mouth and a big heart. I don't know that it really warranted a sequel, but the people who decided to make it, pretty much everyone who made the first one, didn't have to do much more than recreate the original's movie vibe to give its fans an entertaining experience. They apparently couldn't manage to do that, and have made a film so awful that it's not watchable. Profanity can be used, and was in the first movie, to clever and hilarious effect. But a screenplay where literally every other word is "f*ck," no matter what the situation or character, becomes monotonous fast and strikes a viewer as unforgivably lazy. The characters in the first film weren't this unpleasant to be around.Full disclosure -- this review is only based on the first hour of this dreadful film. I couldn't make it past that.Grade: F

Christopher Smith I enjoyed Goon quite a bit when it was released in the U.S. five years ago. However, it doesn't have the replay value of such other great hockey comedies like Slap Shot or even The Mighty Ducks. It's still a funny movie; I just don't necessarily love it like other sports movie fans do. I'm sure some fans of Goon will be disappointed with Goon: Last of the Enforcers, as the sequel definitely emphasizes story over the profane antics of the original and the joke quotient isn't as high, but it's a better written, more strongly directed, and altogether more confident film than the first.With Goon: Last of the Enforcers, Seann William Scott has succeeded in making Doug "the Thug" Glatt his signature character, eclipsing Stifler from the American Pie movies. Scott's performance is so good here that it almost feels like watching a new actor on screen. Scott doesn't portray Doug quite as intellectually stunted as he was in the first. The whole theme of Goon: Last of the Enforcers is growth and the potential for a person to evolve and Scott is able to sell this with a more subtle performance than audiences are used to seeing from him. The message of the movie could have been heavy handed as most messages in sports films are, yet director/co-writer/co-producer/co-star Jay Baruchel has a firm enough handle on the material that everything mostly works.Goon: Last of The Enforcers does have some problems in its middle section. There are scenes that go on too long (a lot of scenes with Wyatt Russell's abrasive character could have been trimmed) and Elisha Cuthbert's character isn't given a whole lot to do, but this is still a solid directorial debut. The fight scenes are easier to follow and more exciting than those in the first movie. There are still plenty of funny low-brow jokes carried over from the style of Goon but Baruchel seems more selective about where he places them. And, most importantly, there seems to be less reliance on sports clichés' this time around, although the one obligatory training montage is thankfully set to Stan Bush's "Dare" playing on the soundtrack.Comedy sequels are notoriously hard to pull off. They are often unnecessary retreads that don't deliver. Goon: Last of the Enforcers is one of the very rare comedy sequels that works much better than the original. It's funnier, more character driven, and more entertaining. In the United States, the film is unlikely to receive the attention it deserves but hopefully there will be enough love to make a Goon 3 possible. 7.5/10

Sawyer-4815162342 With few exceptions sequels tend to not be as good as the originals. That is the case here, sadly.However, this movie surprised me with how fun it is. I am a fan of the 1st Goon, which charmed me with its heart and crazy gore-filled fights. This movie continues in that tradition, with a little less success than the 1st movie had. Sure there were a few annoying parts, like TJ Miller's cameo as a sports desk host, but the overall chemistry of the cast remains, as does the brutal violence. I wasn't expecting much and I found this movie to be quite enjoyable.
