Sure, a lot of people here pi$$ all over this film because it ISN'T the original... Okay, fine... BUT, let's be realistic. Just exactly HOW many sequels, especially sequels to outright Classics like this one, ever come any where NEAR close to the quality of the first one...? Exactly... Take the awesome film 'GET SHORTY'. Now, if you have had the tragic misfortune to see the horrendous 'sequel' 'BE COOL', then you know PRECISELY what I mean. This film here is not even in the same UNIVERSE as that atrocious sequel as far as genuine quality and the clever thought that clearly went into it.Anyway, what I mean is that the first film is SO completely iconic that just about ANY attempt at a sequel will be bound to disappoint many people. I very much liked the Ultra-Coolness of the first film, and I found this one to be VERY entertaining and funny as Hell. Yes, I think this film leaned more strongly toward direct humour than the original, BUT... I personally felt that most of the humour worked just fine, despite some of it being rather obvious.Romeo was great. I loved his reaction to the constant barrage of racial slurs that came his way. Honestly, I thought that there was some pretty clever writing in a lot of the humour. Like when the guys were making fun of his rather 'Gaudy' car, saying that he had claimed that his car was inconspicuous. He answers, 'I don't like any words with 'spic' in the middle...' I know, I know... Corny as Hell, BUT... :) And YES, Judd Nelson seriously overdid it with his role (and I frigg'n LOVE Judd Nelson!) Personally, I think that rather than trying to come across as a character SO far removed from his usual style, if he had just played it WAY more laid-back and with his usual brand of Snarky-Cool, I really think that it would have gone over a LOT better than trying to force the characterization that he was trying to do.I suppose you could say that the stratospheric heights of 'Cool' that were in the first film are missing here. But, I think that the film makers really tried hard to come up with something that, YES, relies much more heavily on various forms of obvious humour, but I feel is genuinely VERY entertaining overall. There were also some pretty slick sequences, as even haters here will admit. And, Bill Connolly's back-story is quite intriguing and fits well with the story.Honestly, I really, ***REALLY*** liked the film. I thought it was a frigg'n Blast! The characters were not quite as iconic as in the first film, but considering what they had to try to match, I truly feel that they came up with a film that was very entertaining, VERY funny, and had enough cleverness throughout it to relate quite well to it's Cult predecessor.Just ONE thing, at least to me, that REALLY sucked Donkey Balls was the bland, generic, mind-numbingly boring song in the closing credits. That's it... The rest of the soundtrack was awesome.My take on it is that IF you liked the first film and you are NOT too terribly harsh and unreasonably expectant with this one, I honestly feel that you could very well find this movie quite funny and entertaining...

(19%) I haven't seen the first, and I'm not too sure if I want to after watching this. Main issue here is that they tried to cover up the crap plot with a thick helping of overblown garbage that stinks up all the movie's problems resulting in them if anything being highlighted and more clear. The two leads are an insult to 2D poorly fleshed comicbook characters, and the strong desire to be cool comes across as forced and annoying. The performances at times are acceptable for this type of thing, but the script is hampered by clueless dialogue and lackluster plot structure. Also, how many times can these Irish Jules from Pulp Fiction wannabes fire without reloading? Because I didn't know handguns had 2000 bullet capacity sized clips.

I am both confused and angered at the filmmakers for choosing to go this route with the supposed "sequel" to The Boondock Saints. This time round it appears that the director was going for an action-comedy, but way too heavy on the so-called "comedy." The action was somewhat there, but cheesy, and the comedy was even cheesier. The detectives were basically complete buffoons and relied entirely on Eunice Bloom (Julie Benz), the protégé of Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) of the first film. Do not get me started on Benz. Her terribly fake southern accent only complemented her god awful acting. The antagonists, some sort of Italian mafia, were just as infuriating. They were a bunch of goofy morons and really could not be taken seriously. In fact, the entire film was basically one giant joke, so they really fit in quite nicely I suppose. I'm honestly surprised I managed to watched the film all the way through. In short, All Saints Day is a complete insult to the first film and an utter waste of time. Do yourself a favor and watch something worthwhile.

First of all, I'm a huge fan of The Boondock Saints I. It was cool and I didn't force myself to get in mood. Especially Willem Dafoe was great. But this time, it started like a parody of The Boondock Saints. I tell you what makes this movie a parody. A character instead of Rocco(and he was trying to be a part of the team like Rocco,what a shame !), A detective woman acting like W.Dafoe, Insincere dialogs and atmosphere.The main advice is if you want to make a sequel, you shouldn't force the characters. Let us feel the story. For instance, you heard that they are making a new Batman movie. You can't witness these things; Gordon tells Batman how much he loves him, Joker says he'll take his revenge and someone named as Bobin instead of Robin. What is this ! I was bored and it was a boring process to wait until the end of the movie. They should have protected the lines between the characters and create new characters instead of copying the old one.I had fun from the last 3 minutes of the movie. Willem's part was good(And I gave 5 out of 10 because of this). And that's all about the good parts of the movie. Sorry I meant the parody.I'm warning you. If you watched first one, Please don't decide to give it a shot. It will ruin all your good memories about the The Boondock Saints. I thought nothing was going to happen but I wish I hadn't watched this movie.
