The first one was so godawful it would be almost impossible for the sequel to suck any worse. Of course, I said the same thing about Transformers.
Let's hope it doesn't suck.

welcome to comic-con
Is that Sean Patrick Flanery??? He looks weird, maybe fatter, maybe had some work done?
Huh?
How was it awful?
Not as awful as your FACE.
ohhhh, what now.
??? You say that as if it's a universally shunned movie. You realize you're in the minority right?
Judd Nelson? Really?
I'd rather they put Dafoe in drag again.
Boondock Saints is a cult classic. If you don't like that movie then you're a goat er. Yep, I said it.
I have a bad feeling that the writers/producers/directors are all-TOO-aware of the aforementioned "cult following", and simply hope that THAT will lead to big numbers at the box office, therefore not caring if they throw a total movie out there (a la Indiana Jones 4, Live Free or Die Hard, Rocky Balboa, etc).
In other (though somewhat similar news), this.
Besides, w/o Rocco, this movie'll hardly stand a chance in living up to its predecessor.

It did suck. It wasn't even funny suck. I love ty movies, but this was unbearable. I don't care if I was in the minority. Balls Out was better. That being said, the do entary about the giant who made it was wildly entertaining.
Very true, the one positive about Boondock Saints being made is that it led to the making of Overnight.
The first one is a stain on the underwear of Richard Simmons. Kung-Pow wanted it's money back after seeing this abortion.
if the ira taught us anything it is that irish people can be hilarious
Ah, movie critics. Because they are unarguably right when they voice an opinion.
I had no idea there was such a passionate disdain for this movie. Wow. Most high school/college guys I talk to cream their pants at the mere mention of it, as do I.
They hit it on the head with Transformers 2.
Anyways, that wasn't even about whether film critics get it right or not. Someone said I was one of very few who hated that movie. Obviously I'm not.
Most of the time they are right when a movie sucks beyond all comprehension. There is a reason why the film was only in five movie theaters for one week.
And I suggest to anyone the do entary Overnnight. When a film about the making of a troubled movie and its bag director is significantly better than than that of the actual film it's covering....
Really? What about.... the movie Mono just mentioned? Don't kid yourself and think that we only see "good" movies at a worldwide distribution.
I see your point, and I agree. I was really glad to see T2 get completely trashed by critics as it deserved. I saw it with relatively low hopes and I STILL almost walked out of the theater.
I guess I don't understand critics. They gave 300 pretty favorable reviews, spooge all over Quentin Tarantino movies like Inglorious Basterds (which I enjoyed, but to say that movie had a even a moderately deep plot is laughable), but they rip Boondock Saints for making violence look cool? Does that not call a kind of double standard into play? I'm actually asking you, because I would like to know your take on this.
I'm a fan of the first movie and I'll definitely see the sequel.
i remember a friend of mine was totally about this movie. wouldn't shut up about it. i saw it and it sucked. plain and simple. it's basically an irish "blood in blood out". no need to see re-warmed up piss again.
I can't speak for critics, but for me, the stylization of the violence was so ridiculously over-the-top that it bordered on self-parody, but it wasn't funny enough to qualify for that.
Same with Willem Dafoe. He was just really, really bad. "Mommie Dearest" bad. It was like he was playing a practical joke on the producers.
I'm just surprised that so many people love this movie, and not even in a hipster/ironic sort of way.
Sheer boondock happiness!
New boondock saints movie and new season of The Boondocks coming soon!
Good things......
