‘Boondock Saints’ sequel’s sinfully awful
Baby boomers have “The Godfather.” Gen-Yers have the notably less-worthy “The Usual Suspects.” Whatever today’s generation calls itself gets “The Boondock Saints?” Bummer.
Cleverly titled, if little else, “The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day” should satisfy the hue for a follow-up to Troy Duffy’s campy Boston-set 1999 cult film “The Boondock Saints.” After that, it is anybody’s guess.

There is no doubt the movie will be awful. What a bunch of crap.
I have to say that the sequal was awesome. I saw it last night in an almost full theater for the midnight showing at the Commons. The movie follows the same way that made the original a hit ( recapping of action sequences, crass dialogue, and reckless mayhem). There are a few bones thrown to followers of the first movie and I thought that was a great way to reward the fans. I wanted to reward the director for bringing it back so I paid the $11 to show my support. I strongly suggest you see it in the theaeter and send a message to Hollywood that fun can trump story every once in a while.

I can't begin to tell you how many movies I've seen that were panned by "critics" and I've enjoyed watching...and same way round for their picks...just goes to show you, one man's meat is another man's poison...I hope I enjoy Boondock Saints II.
James - back to your comic book shop you hack - movies can just be fun....
If this movie was made in Denmark with Korean actors,French direction and produced from India, Verniere would love it.I always go the opposite from what he has to say,so he's good that way.I saw the movie today and i really liked it,lighten up Jimmy.
Normally, I can't stand the author of this review, but I must agree with him. Boondock Saints was highly, highly overrated to begin with. No need for a sequel, if just to get some loser Irish actors from Boston some experience.
I agree with your intended comment, not the double negative you managed to post.
