Did you hear that? That is the sound of tens of thousands of college students around the world simultaneously creaming in their pants. Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen, the Boondock Saints are back, ready to do some more "gratuitous violence".
Now I haven't seen the first film, but I am more than aware of it's reputation, and have had the displeasure of interacting with a few of it's more hardcore fans. Essentially, this movie is Twilight for guys, by which I mean it inspires effeminate squealing and mass hysteria for no discernible reason. The story follows two brothers who decide (for what ever reason) to start leaping through the air in slow motion whist wearing sunglasses and wielding duel pistol. C'mon people, why don't you try a John Woo movie instead?
I have little interest in seeing this film, especially after such a mediocre trailer (and one relies so heavily on an assumed knowledge of the first movie). The theme song is atrocious, the dialogue taken straight out of the Tarantino imitators handbook, and tattooed hands? Glad to see you're not straining yourself Mr. Duffy. Furthermore, I know that Julie Benz is a terrible actress, and this footage doesn't give me any hope for the rest of the film's cast, least of all Billy Connolly, who looks like a cross between Neo and Santa Claus.
Still, if you want to see this movie (a lot like New Moon I guess), then there's nothing I can say to stop you. So my only advice would be to have fun, and try not to faint in delight before the end credits roll.
