    Except if you are The Godfather: Part Two, it is nearly impossible to make a sequel that is equal or better then the original. It just is. The reason why is because when you first create an idea and make a film about it, that is it at it's purest and at it's hieght. With sequels,... read more the idea is already exposed and the shock that the idea gave people is already used up. With a film like The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, what it does is take what people love from the first film and just rehash it a second time.
    The main complaint of the first film was that it was a copy of the films of Quentin Tarantino. My response was that it was more of a tribute (could have been better) to his films then a rip off. If any of the films is a rip off, it is this film. Actually, if one really thinks about it, Troy Duffy is making a parody of his own film. But he could of, at least, done so with some honor and dignity.
    I don't know. I mean, I did enjoy this fim a bit, but it could have been much more. So much more. But the main problem, other then rehashing parts of the previous film, is that it takes from so many other films whose sequels were better then it's original. The main one that comes to mind is the back story of Il Duce told in a psuedo The Godfather Part Two fashion. Just replace the Sicilian backdrop with an Irish one.
    Then you also have the cast which, in their own right, are okay actors for the most part, are not used to their potential. But I feel the most bad for Clifton Collins. If you have seen the original film, then you will know that he will be compared to and is basically playing the same part as David Della Rocca. It is just kind of sad that Duffy had to right in a comic relief guy to go along with the already comic relief of the three detectives in this film. My advice for Duffy: keep the comic relief down to one character. Have too much, it will then ruin the film.
    So, that is all I have to say about the sequel. it is entertaining as hell to watch, has it's moments of awkward humor, but it has so much potential, has so much it could do, hell, it could even have made Troy Duffy some respect after he lost it with The Boondock Saints (in the eyes of critics) and in the documentary Overnight (in the eyes of everyone else).
    Now, there is a cliffhanger at the end of the film along with one cameo that made me scream 'YES!' at the end. If there would be a sequel to this film, then I have a message for Troy Duffy: Actually write an original screenplay that is not complete crap. You have everything set up, you have your story and mythology (granted you borrowed and ripped off a lot). USE it.

    The MacManus Brothers return to Boston to kill more people.
    There are some sequels, The Godfather Part II and even the second Terminator film, that build on the original film, and there are other sequels, like this one, that merely attempt to imitate the original. ... read moreClifton Collins as Romeo attempts to replace Rocco for comic relief and schtick, and Julie Benz does a Willem Dafoe with a Southern accent impersonation, complete with a scene that is clearly a poor man's "There was a firefight!"
    Also, I know this makes me a bad American and the wrong audience for a film like this: I don't find murder all that sexy. The slow motion shots and the almost sexual arousal the boys get from picking out new guns perplexes me, and too much of the film centers on this fixation with violence.
    The performances were all fine, nothing you'd show in an acting class as either "don't do" or "do;" although, Collins's performance gets annoying after a while.
    Overall, there's nothing new in this installment of Boondock Saints unless you count characters' new armory.

    I always thought "Boondock Saints" was really overrated; never cared for it much but this? This Is just AWFUL. Almost unbearably awful. I have no idea why this exists or why anyone would give it a positive rating. Total dreck.

    I am such a big fan of the first movie. That movie I would give 10 stars, if I could. I saw that one back when it was made in 1999. I couldn't believe that they waited sooooo long to make another one, and now I wonder why they really bothered. The only REALLY good things about th... read moreis movie involved the scenes with the saint boys, and II Duce. All that other stupid stuff that surrounded them just was getting me annoyed. In my opinion, they should have just kept up with Willem Dafoes character, too, since he was EVENTUALLY in it. I found that girl who took his place totally idiotic. I was so excited to see this movie, and now I am bummed. ...sigh. I guess it was too much of a great thing to try duplicate it.

    Falls short of the first. Too much corn and cheese! At times what was corny & cheesy was at least done cleverly in the first is done gratuitously this time. The substance of the first was lost for the sake of entertainment. Time showed the the actors faces, but lack of time ... read moreand effort in the script was even more evident. One sequel that should not have been made on the heels of such a great inaugural effort! If I had not enjoyed the first so much, the rating for this may have been stronger. Ten years after the first should have resulted in near equal accomplishment only fell short.

    If you can get past the semi awful acting, it's an awesome movie. I love the story/plot, but it's not as good a movie as the firsts one. The ending is pretty bad ass though and as long as they keep making these movies, I'll watch them.

    Troy Duffy decide to try and cash in on his first entertaining movie by pissing all over it and throwing in every cliche possible. In my mind the real sequel is watching the mess that he is in the documentary Overnight.

    Director: Troy Duffy

    Summary: The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is the much-anticipated sequel to ... read morethe indie cult classic, The Boondock Saints. The film is the continuation of writer/director Troy Duffy?s tough, stylized cutting edge saga of the MacManus brothers (Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery). The two have been in deep hiding with their father, Il Duce (Billy Connolly), in the quiet valleys of Ireland, far removed from their former vigilante lives. When word comes that a beloved priest has been killed by sinister forces from deep within the mob, the brothers return to Boston to mount a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those responsible.

    My Thoughts: "For some reason I really liked the sequel much more then the first. I don't know why, but I did. I laughed a lot in this one. Clifton Collins Jr. really was funny in this. I thought he was a great addition to the story. Julie Benz was great as well. It has loads of action and killing of course. It is also funny and had a great back ground story of their father. From the ending, you get a sense of a third installment. I hope so, cause for me it just got better with the sequel. If your fans of the first, this one might disappoint, but it also may have you liking it much better then the first one. Great action flick. Give it a watch."

Bold prediction: At his current glacial pace of progress, Troy Duffy is likely to write and direct the great Irish-American payback movie sometime in the year 2049. Full Review

It's as if writer/director Troy Duffy threw every idea he had at the wall, creating a very messy wall. Full Review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

Writer-director Troy Duffy needs to YouTube himself a new idea or two, because his variations on themes provided by Quentin Tarantino and Guy "RocknRolla" Ritchie are pure mold. Full Review

Can you fly forward through the air while firing two heavy-duty handguns without your arms jerking back and smacking you in the chin? Would that violate one of Newton's laws? Just askin'. Full Review

The only truly ugly side to this self-consciously grimy movie is the streak of Neanderthal humor. Operatic overacting is funny. Racist and homophobic jokes? Not so much. Full Review
