    Low rent Tarentino-esk rip-off with a thin plot and bad accents Whats with all the morons I've seen with VERITAS / AEQUITAS tats? Jesus, is everyone a *beep* slave to mass-media these days? I have nothing against tattoos, but if you are going to get one at least try to make it original.

    Complete plastic Irish drivel from start to finish. Sub-normal fans of the original will probably like it but anyone with an IQ in at least double figures will hate it for what it is. Hey Troy, I'll have a beer and diet coke, keep the change you fool, cheers.

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

    Most people that liked BS will probably like this too, but it's pretty much just more BS. It isn't as bad as the first, but that might be because I expected nothing more than another ripoff of Guy Ritchie and Tarantino that required a very short attention span which is exactly what I got. Crap is worse when it catches you by surprise, and this time it didn't.

    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? 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

    If you're going to see this to keep the weirdo friends that make up the "cult" following behind these films, I recommend ditching the friends. I saw the first one to please those "people" and it was a shambling wreck. Unfortunately I didn't heed the words of The Who and got fooled again. I love Will O's term "sub-normals". Both films are cheesy, style-over-substance bonehead dreck and this one is even goofier than the first if you can imagine. It gets a 1 for even featuring my beloved Billy Connolly in the cast. Expand

    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.

    Hey Matt C. I think you are forgetting Empire Strikes Back, Godfather Part 2, and The Dark Knight. Not all sequels are hated on.

    If you like watching long meaningless scenes with just horrendous acting then look no further. This movie reminded me of one of those porns where you have to sit there furious with your dick in hand for 15 mins before you get to see the next hoe giving a BJ. But in this case the BJs are gun fights and most of the time the hoe turns out to be a tranny.

    I conceived my first 7 children while watching the first film and the reciting the film's racist humor helped be get into the Klan. Now I watch the 2nd movie and I'm perplexed as to what happend. No guns, no violence, no racist jokes, just a story of two brothers and their forbidden love. I was shocked and I would have asked for my money back had I not already snuck into the film. The next time these hollywood types makes gay porn they should damn well advertise it as such. Expand

    This movie is Boondock Saints 2. I wish someone had told me before I went in that this was a gay porn film. I don't have anytihing against gay porn films because some of my best friends are gay porn stars but had I known all the gay sex this film had featured I'd might have taken my date to something more appropriate like Basic Instinct, Silence of the Lambs, or Saw 6.

    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.

    Ah, Troy Duffy: Hollywood's exile steps back up to the plate (after not having made a dime on the original) and cuts a fat fart with All Saints Day. If you are the son of an Irish-Catholic police officer with low moral fortitude and a love for slow motion acrobatics, this movie is for you. For everyone else, this movie is a overlong mess of awful acting, sophomoric philosophy, and meaningless religious overtones. Do yourself a favor and go to a Catholic mass instead of going to see this: it will be just as long, boring, and painful but at least it's free. Expand

    1, for a good trailer. As far as the movie, a disappointment. After the first 25 minutes of it I cut it off. Bad acting, terrible jokes, typical story for a sequel. Its like if they were trying too hard to make it like the original, but couldn't hit the right notes. Definitly had the potential to be a very good movie, if it had good movie makers, but this is just another corny sequel.

    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.

    Duffy's inept command of actors, not to mention his utterly juvenile morality and his comically clumsy use of religious iconography, should keep all but the diehards away.

    Earns points only for being remarkably unself-conscious about its across-the-board ineptitude.

    An idiotic ode to macho horseshite (to employ an ancient Irish word). It is however distinguished by superb cinematography.
