Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
lathe-of-heaven Sure, a lot of people here pi$$ all over this film because it ISN'T the original... Okay, fine... BUT, let's be realistic. Just exactly HOW many sequels, especially sequels to outright Classics like this one, ever come any where NEAR close to the quality of the first one...? Exactly... Take the awesome film 'GET SHORTY'. Now, if you have had the tragic misfortune to see the horrendous 'sequel' 'BE COOL', then you know PRECISELY what I mean. This film here is not even in the same UNIVERSE as that atrocious sequel as far as genuine quality and the clever thought that clearly went into it.Anyway, what I mean is that the first film is SO completely iconic that just about ANY attempt at a sequel will be bound to disappoint many people. I very much liked the Ultra-Coolness of the first film, and I found this one to be VERY entertaining and funny as Hell. Yes, I think this film leaned more strongly toward direct humour than the original, BUT... I personally felt that most of the humour worked just fine, despite some of it being rather obvious.Romeo was great. I loved his reaction to the constant barrage of racial slurs that came his way. Honestly, I thought that there was some pretty clever writing in a lot of the humour. Like when the guys were making fun of his rather 'Gaudy' car, saying that he had claimed that his car was inconspicuous. He answers, 'I don't like any words with 'spic' in the middle...' I know, I know... Corny as Hell, BUT... :) And YES, Judd Nelson seriously overdid it with his role (and I frigg'n LOVE Judd Nelson!) Personally, I think that rather than trying to come across as a character SO far removed from his usual style, if he had just played it WAY more laid-back and with his usual brand of Snarky-Cool, I really think that it would have gone over a LOT better than trying to force the characterization that he was trying to do.I suppose you could say that the stratospheric heights of 'Cool' that were in the first film are missing here. But, I think that the film makers really tried hard to come up with something that, YES, relies much more heavily on various forms of obvious humour, but I feel is genuinely VERY entertaining overall. There were also some pretty slick sequences, as even haters here will admit. And, Bill Connolly's back-story is quite intriguing and fits well with the story.Honestly, I really, ***REALLY*** liked the film. I thought it was a frigg'n Blast! The characters were not quite as iconic as in the first film, but considering what they had to try to match, I truly feel that they came up with a film that was very entertaining, VERY funny, and had enough cleverness throughout it to relate quite well to it's Cult predecessor.Just ONE thing, at least to me, that REALLY sucked Donkey Balls was the bland, generic, mind-numbingly boring song in the closing credits. That's it... The rest of the soundtrack was awesome.My take on it is that IF you liked the first film and you are NOT too terribly harsh and unreasonably expectant with this one, I honestly feel that you could very well find this movie quite funny and entertaining...
hminiarj Or rather, I wish it never happened. I mean, the first one was brilliant... or at least "good". The Boondock Saints is witty, entertaining, clever, good fun, and while it has some stereotypes and tropes it doesn't appear to go out of it's way to be prejudiced drivel. This... is nothing like that movie. All Saints Day feels like two hyper-testosterone boys, desperate to be "REAL MEN", with no cinematic experience that didn't involve loony toons, got together and wrote a shitty fanfic based on the first movie, and someone read it and thought to themselves that this was a great way to try and build a franchise. The amount of "no homo" and slapstick in this pile of drivel is hideous. And the dream vision of how to be REAL MEN(tm) just takes the f-ing cake. Only saving grace in the whole movie is... well... there isn't one. If you enjoyed the Boondock Saints, walk away, this never happened.
ashleynwaldron After discovering the first Boondock Saints in high school, it instantly became my all-time favorite movie. I've lost track of how many times I've watched the movie over the years, or how many times my husband and I have laughingly quoted some of our favorite lines.So when I first heard they were doing a sequel, I was thrilled. Especially when -after such a long amount of time in-between- they even had a lot of the original cast. Could this get any better?And then, my husband watched it with his brother one night. Came home, and told me not to even bother. I was shocked. It couldn't be that bad right? He assured me that it would even taint the first one for me.I couldn't believe that. There was no possible way. And yet... when I sat down and watched this god-awful train wreck of a movie, I couldn't even force myself past the first twenty-five minutes.I'm not even sure where to begin with this. The terrible script, and crappy, awkward dialogue? The idiot who was supposed to be Rocco's replacement? Whoever that stupid, horrible acting bimbo was? The horrible, crappy villains?This movie was probably the biggest sequel disappointment I've ever seen. And my husband was right... While I still love the first movie, I can't watch it without thinking of this fail movie.
TheSuccessorOfTheReaper First of all, I'm a huge fan of The Boondock Saints I. It was cool and I didn't force myself to get in mood. Especially Willem Dafoe was great. But this time, it started like a parody of The Boondock Saints. I tell you what makes this movie a parody. A character instead of Rocco(and he was trying to be a part of the team like Rocco,what a shame !), A detective woman acting like W.Dafoe, Insincere dialogs and atmosphere.The main advice is if you want to make a sequel, you shouldn't force the characters. Let us feel the story. For instance, you heard that they are making a new Batman movie. You can't witness these things; Gordon tells Batman how much he loves him, Joker says he'll take his revenge and someone named as Bobin instead of Robin. What is this ! I was bored and it was a boring process to wait until the end of the movie. They should have protected the lines between the characters and create new characters instead of copying the old one.I had fun from the last 3 minutes of the movie. Willem's part was good(And I gave 5 out of 10 because of this). And that's all about the good parts of the movie. Sorry I meant the parody.I'm warning you. If you watched first one, Please don't decide to give it a shot. It will ruin all your good memories about the The Boondock Saints. I thought nothing was going to happen but I wish I hadn't watched this movie.
