Boondock Saints… I didn’t get it. A buddy of mine loves this movie, it’s his favorite. I watched it and wasn’t impressed. There were a couple of chuckles I got, but that was it. As one reviewer put it, it tried too hard to be “cool.” The plot was silly and their little “prayer” or whatever sounded like a nursery rhyme. Willem Defoe had moments of funny, but then moments of stupid. The, “It was a firefight” scene was the hokiest scene I’ve ever witnessed in a movie. The “religious” aspect was simply there to add artificial weight, trying to justify their actions. I think it would have been better to leave it out and just let them be unapologetic, “Punisher” style vigilantes. Were we really supposed to believe they were working for God? Terrorists supposedly do that, too.

The best way to sum this movie up came from the AV Club-

“Boondock Saints is a movie for people who think Tarantino is too cerebral.”

I know that nobody has been commenting on this article in months. But it’s the only safe way I can contact you, O’Brien. I didn’t realize who you were until just now. You probably wouldn’t recognize me even if I saw you in person. I don’t think you ever saw me that night. I worked under the auspices of the Chechnyan, and I have to warn you, Machete, because your life may depend on this: Zviad is not dead. He is alive.
Already I’ve said too much.

I liked the first half of Saints…and the bit where William goes “THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!” because that bit was really awesome. The second half is just kinda meh. Except the very end was neat, the courtroom speech and all that…and being a girl, the gay didn’t bother me.

Hopefully I’ll be able to watch Saints 2 and not, after I exit the theater, feel like I need a shower/decide to disavow its existence/cry. For the love of sanity I hate crying during movies.

I freaking loved Boondock Saints. It’s up on my shelf of Awesome, accompanied by other like-minded classics. But as for “Twondock Saints”, I’m not looking forward to it. Well, I am, but not as much as I should be. Willem Dafoe will have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! There will be no gay-but-fucking(rofl)-amazingly-hilarious-and-cool FBI agent to ridicule the boneheaded local cops. Sorry, pigs. Oh, and don’t forget the cross-dressing. And bloody-hand-on-hair thing. Ew, but seriously, he was fucking sweet.

I liked it, mainly because I have this whole Irish fetish thing going for me though…

My dad told me to watch it and I asked him to tell me what it was about and he got to “These two Irish brothers in Boston…” before I was out of the room with the movie XD

My friend spent Sunday and Monday… and Tuesday in Toronto (Boston) on the set as an Extra for a church scene… I’m excited about the movie but I’d forgotten I’d read it was even coming out until I signed on his facebook today lol.

One thing I REALLY liked was the fact that it was pretty entertaining. No romance, lots of death, and I am about 50% anarchist, so the vigilante justice entertained me. Anyways, I’m not saying the movies were great, or you know, one of the worlds best or anything, but it wasn’t crap, and as long as the next one isn’t crap, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be just as entertained.

Seriously, Boondock Saints is every John Woo/Tsui Hark/Generic Hong Kong Action/Opera movie ripped off and blown wide Jesus open by Hollywood. It is awful. Just deal with it.

hopefully BDS 2 will be allowed to stay in theatres unlike the original saints movie, which was removed from the big screen following the columbine shootings….which is kind of ironic considering the theme of the movie was good men doing the correct thing by killing the evil around them
