Boondock Saints 2: The Review

YOu ever eat like... Cocoa Pebbles in the morning?..

and your like aughhh man.. that was hellla good!

SOOOO good in fact your like.... im going to have a second bowl!!!

and that second bowl isn't as good.... but not BAD!!

until you get to your third bowl... at which point your like

wow.... this is kinda gross....

Well... thats how Boondock Saints II is... like your 3rd bowl of Cocoa Pebbles. Its soooo good the first time that you really want more...

But once you realize you're already expecting so much from it... you can never live UP to the hype.

Ecspecially if your "sequel bowl" comes out like 10 years after the original; and now Fred and Barney have aged terribly; while still attempting to pull of their original rock star hair cuts?!... and the biggest/ most sucessful star of the original Velma is too good to " glue" the film together and instead only signs on for a Cameo.....

Hey.... you remember those Cocoa Pebbles Commercials?... where Barney is always trying to Steal Freds Cocoa Pebbles with all these elaborate tricks?

WHy come he can't just be like; lemee get some of that; I mean you dont have to be all GREEEDY asking for the whole box!.. TRust me Rubble when you get to the 3rd bowl you're going to be pretty grossed out anyways...

.... stupid Cavemen no wonder they're all extinct Accept thos 2 super smart ones from those Geico Commercials?

..... ahh Great review! (good work Zia!)

see you guys next time...

WAIT!!!! oh yeah!! soo.... " Boon-dock saints 2"... right.... Hey isn't it ironic that this was releasted so close to saint patties day?.... err... wait..

.hhm.... im not sure what ironic means...

Anyways.... Overall it was a descent movie; it lacked a bit of focus and thread or theme which is REALLLY what seperated the first one from all the other action movies of the time.

With the acception of a descent plot; this film was almost a parody of the first. the whole time watching it all i could think about how much better the original was.

I did really like the one chick who aws the detective; she was cute and brought an sense of individuality and unique-ness to the flim.
I'll definatley give it up for the cinematography; some of the shots and use of slow motion was great... but now that i think of it thats pretty much all they used.

I can see what they were going for: Mission statement lets create the irish gangster version of The Godfather Part II

all they ended up accomplishing was making a rather "hoaky" early 90s style action parody of the original more indpendently flavored film.

Also that one " crazy eyed" mexican dude?... REALLLY took the sophistication of the film down several notches with with his Jim Carey like expressions and over done slapstick comedic moments.

One of the things that I really appreciated about the first one is that it wasn't "trying" to be anything; it was a little funny; a little clever; a little violent; and alot of fun. This one?.... was alot LESS of all that; and trying a little too to re-create the magic of the first one

Synopsis: The Sequel that'll never live up to the hype; but will never live up to the original; Fun if you wanna see your homies do something new, but gay if you are expecting a similar experience to the original.
