Wtf man if you dont like the movie why would you go read about. I mean what a waste of time and effort to just trash a really awsome movie. I mean what didnt you like the action,adventure, excitment? Did you read the story line for the next move it actually sounds pretty good for a sequel. What kind of movies do you like smart guy.

If I find out someone likes Boondock Saints, it's a total deal breaker for me...it's like a good-film-taste litmus test.

see above

When Troy Duffy talks, a hole is ripped in the douche bag continuum

A raging douche if I've ever seen one.

boondock saints sucked and troy duffy is a hack I never understood the fascination people have with this movie.

overnight the documentary on the production and duffy is top notch though

I really don't mind the first movie, but he does not deserve all of the fortunate luck that has come his way.
I'm waiting for the announcement that production has ceased due to some random douchebagery by Duffy.

im excited. i dont know if saints is a classic or on par with some movies people lump it in with, but i think its a very entertaining action film. and funny. ok, thats my 2 cents.

@ joshmayhood, really?

So if some of my favorite movies are Pulp Fiction, The Godfather 1 & 2, Taxi Driver, Rear Window, Vertigo, 12 Angry Men, TBS is IMO a fun b-movie, i liked a lot.

i'm with joshmayhood and Graham.

Saints is an atrocious, Tarantino-wannabe rip-off. Duffy needs to stick to bartending.

i think people associate their hate for duffy with the first movie, you are allowed to like Boondock Saints and still hate Duffy, you don't have to all it a piece of shit. It's an entertaining, funny movie and nothing more, no need to say it sucks just because it doesn't live up to goodfellas or tarentino's movies. it is what it is.

wow... i didnt know that there was such a hatred for TBS

i think its a really cool flick. extremely kick ass

haha i was the one who tipped slashfilm off!!! lol
and i think TBS a good movie. and i understand if people think it sucks.. but its one of those movies where- u either love it or hate it
and everyone is calling it a tarantino rip-off.. and i agree that TBS a rip off.. but its a good B movie tarantino rip-off..one of my favorites!!!!

Kokushi...those are classic movies you're naming, for sure. But if you say TBS is one of your favorite movies, then yes...i'd tell you your taste sucks no matter what other movies you loved. A fun B movie? Sure, I can KINDA see that, although I bet if it came down to it you could probably name off 100 of those types of movies before you got to TBS.

This movie is just a less-intelligent version of dozens of other movies. Is.

o yeah and um.. the only think that i find stupid about the new film is that there is a character in the mvoie named-"gorgeous george"--and that name is rite from the movie snatch. if that name isnt removed from the movie.. then its rite back to ripoff criticism

The Boondock Saints is a film whose fan-accumulation I shall never understand. It's a work that is on such a low par with The Usual Suspects and Fight Club. The devotion and inflation of this film boggles the mind; perhaps I'm missing the sublime contained therein. But like all overrated films, it hasn't withstood the test of time. Many films have been underrated in their time, but are now looked upon as classics. A recent example would be The Big Lebowski. An even greater example would be It's a Wonderful Life. Both are films whose greatness and stature have grown over the years due to word of mouth. However, in the case of the Boondock Saints, it is slowly fading into obscurity. I ask you, explain to me the artful quality of the film? Show me how and where the cinematography, acting, etc... Succeed? What does it do that is new, as that is the test for what makes "art" art: The quality of something not done before, but done with purpose. So let Mr. Duffy toy with his film, and "pay homage" to a few, greater, film. But like the child who builds a bridge with legos and says he's "paying homage" to Frank Lloyd Wright, the creation will be doomed to the same obscurity of many B-pictures people have long since forgotten.

Dead wrong. I know you think you know something about movies, film, cinematography, acting, etc... But for whatever reason you dislike this movie, I bet you have watched it more then once. Boondock Saints is not a bad flick. It is good enough to have all that are slamming take the time to write about it. One more thing to those who compare it to a Tarantino movie, you have no clue on writing styles. It is in no way similar to a Tarantino screenplay, nowhere similar...

Get over it...

@ joshmayhood

Maybe a ''rip-off'' like alot of people said of tarantino with reservoir dogs to City on Fire and thats crap, i liked transformers BUT No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood were my two favorite movies from 2007, so your argument that if i like TBS i cant have a ''Classic'' as one of my favorites, yes is a B-Movie and i enjoy it a LOT, Ebert liked The Mummy 3 (btw mummy 3 sucked) but Citizen Kane is his favorite movie, So his taste is crap right?

It woudnt put TBS in my top 100 but only im allowed to like fellini, bergman, hithcock, kubrick, scorsese movies, come on sometimes it get tired to eat in 5 stars restaurants a burger king from time to time doesnt hurt.

@ joshmayhood

So, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood were my two favorites from 2007 but i liked Transformers, so i cant like my summer over the top explosions, right? Only movies that are ''serious'', i enjoy TBS as a b-movie that is similir to a lot of movies and your argument that my taste sucks because of that is crap, people can ejnoy their ''bad movies'' from time to time but when i want to see movie TBS doesnt come to mind first i think of other better movies.

everyone, calm down, for today we are at "full fuckin' boondock."

the first one was T R I P E !

Mattias Galvin, can you say movie snob? Films can be entertainment you know, they are not all pieces of , you want art go to the museum or some playhouse art school film.

pieces of art*

I still feel Duffy shouldn't have been given the sequel. Really its a movie that should have come out at least 5 years ago...and since Duffy completely self destructed the first film by being a snobby cunt and the nightmare that followed simply trying to release the damn thing, I have no idea why they simply didnt steal the thing from him and give it to some other guy who hasnt been whacking off to his own self pity for the last ten years...I bet he gets his lame ass band on the soundtrack again. Watch the film 'Overnight' and you'll never have an ounce of respect for this guy.

Totally agree, but I still like the movie.

Think what you want I love this movie! I also love many other so called "classics". I'm actually very surprised to see such dislike of this little flick?
I can't watch the video, but I'm aware that Duffy is a douche, so what? I don't have to like him to watch his movies. I don't personally know any of the directors I like but probably would dislike a few if I actually met them.
I just dig great movies and this is one. Period.

I dig David O'Russell movies to and I'm pretty sure I'd pimp slap him if we met...

First of all...The Boondock Saints was a great movie. Of course thats my opinion. Just like its my opinion that No Country for Old Men was highly over rated, as is Taranyino's movies. I mention his movies (exept True Romance which he wrote but did not direct, and From Dusk till Dawn) only because Boondock was called a so called "rip off". Sorry, don't see that. Of course I always question the opinions of those who say Fight Club is low par.

I was surprised by the hate for this film. Almost everyone I know that has seen the movie loved it. I have watched it with my teenage son and even he gets the fun of it. I wouldn't lump it in with the classics from directors like Hitchcock, but just because it isn't a classic doesn't mean it can't be fun. There are a lot of fun movies that are not classic Top 100 movies. Almost anything Mel Brooks made is funny, but not a piece of art. Enjoy a movie once in a while just for a simple laugh.

TBS was a very entertaining movie considering the budget.. This is one of those films that have built a fan base that will ensure the second one will be a $$ maker. So "vent" all you want...it really makes no nevermind.

I don't understand a lot of the blind hatred going on here toward Duffy and his film. I don't agree with that. What I DO agree with, however, is The Boondock Saints is EXTREMELY overrated and by no means the caliber of film most people seem to lump it in with.
I genuinely enjoyed Overnight. The documentary was very well done and all the more heartbreaking because it was real...as most documentaries...seem to be.
Anyway, thoughts on the sequel: truly, I can see this film falling flat on its face and going nowhere after its completion. The next several months will be very interesting.

I have difficulty separating the art from the artist. Usually I can overlook minor personality flaws, but with Troy Duffy, no dice. I will never support a scum-of-the-earth type like Troy Duffy. His name taints his "art" and he spreads unhappiness to all that he influences. Troy Duffy = waste of space.
