I almost didnt want to see it because of my love for the first one. But this sequel does not let down its fans. A major part of the origional cast is back and all with the same additudes we all love. Plus some awsome new characters. The 2nd I almost didnt want to see it because of my love for the first one. But this sequel does not let down its fans. A major part of the origional cast is back and all with the same additudes we all love. Plus some awsome new characters. The 2nd movie has more humor then the first considering the fact that there is no basic storyline of the characters origins (that was all taken care of in the first one, which is why it was more serious). I would recommend seeing the 2nd......IF your a true fan.… Expand

A good watch for the fans, but some of the magic is missing. The whole cast was pulled back in, the style was there but it's lacking that special something that made the first go from a B movie to a cult classic.

This movie is mildly entertaining but lacks the punch of the first movie. The critics will tear this apart and I can see why.

As a fan of the first film. Boondock Saints 2 is a will-love for all Boondock fans. Overall, the film starts off slow, but come to a climax and says there. What makes it better is the surprise at the end.

Most people that liked BS will probably like this too, but it's pretty much just more BS.

Matt C. offers up a little gem of advice here. "Critics suck on sequels, listen to fans". Thats about as intelligent and profound a statement as you can expect from a Boondock Saints fan.

User Matt C, are you serious? Listen to fans? You gave a piece of garbage a 10/10... do you think "fans" might show a little bias?

You gave a piece of garbage a 10/10... do you think "fans" might show a little bias? Critics (generally) put aside bias, but if I'm not mistaken, the first movie got incredibly poor reviews as well. In fact, every review I've seen cites the awfulness of the first and the ways in which this movie expands on the first's weaknesses. I guess you're right, though, if you enjoyed the first, you'll probably enjoy the sequel. If you enjoy good cinema.... well, that's another story.… Expand

much inferior to the original. Many styles but no substance and it was repetitious as heck with the flashback within action. Good looking movie can't help the stupid story. The end was exciting but could have come a lot sooner.

Quentin Tarantino has taken some more worthy **** than this movie. Even fans of the first one will find little to cling on to, and bad dialogue makes the already bad acting just plain horrendous.

Not only is it full of the brainless, boring, somehow action-less actions scenes that The Boondock Saints are known for, but everything around those moments is just as terrible. Duffy's attempts at drama and intrigue are laughable. There is not a semblance of development or patience in his story telling. It's like he just said "I want this to happen now" and then just told all of the actors to do it instead of actually spending time and first ensuring that we are invested in the characters and their lives. And the jokes...my word...how unfunny. The only thing that is funny here is the acting which I can't even take seriously. This sh*t is just sloppy and amateurish. There is absolutely nothing good about it. It is painfully stupid. And the worst part about that is that it doesn't know it's stupid. It thinks it's good. It thinks that people are watching it and saying "Wow what he just said was cool" or "Isn't that plot twist awesome" but what most of them are really saying is "...please." As a non film-maker I would never say this about virtually any other movie because I understand that it's probably more difficult than I could imagine...but I could make a better movie than this. In fact, there is no way that I would not if given the chance. Anybody with a brain or even one original thought could make something better than this. It is worthless. Of no value. Without a single redeeming quality or thing to appreciate. Garbage. Whoever contributed to this should be embarrassed.… Expand
