reply

Yes, yes you are.

That's where you are wrong.

reply

*beep*

reply

no, you're not. anyone who has the ability to convey a rational thought, will think this is a moronic piece of *beep* I absolutely despise this BS movie. Just look at its initials. They fit.

reply

no, you're not...


This movie does have a certain charm, but it is not for everyone. I think there was a big crazy for movie makers to use the most F bombs possible... and while TBDS uses a lot of F Bombs, I doubt it is the king of F bombs, but maybe it is close?

There are movies with more F bombs and movies with more F bombs per minute - iirc.

Beyond that, it is interesting to watch two "good" irish peeps take down the annoying and arrogant mob, be they the typical Italians or even the new Russian's muscling in.

What would you do if some goomba's busted into your bar on St Patty's day/night and ordered you to leave?

I think the Lone Ranger was a vigilantie too.... but I never saw those, just hear about it from other peeps.

"There are movies with more F bombs and movies with more F bombs per minute"

the big lebowski certainly had more F bombs, yet managed to become one of the best comedies ever. this, however, is just an overhyped POS.

reply

So no BS2 for you, then? Nah, I've a number of mates who don't like this film- personally, I love it. Loved the Big Lebowski too.

But if we all liked the same films, life would be dull. And the cinema queues would be entirely too long


reply

Lebowski cant hold Boondock Saints jock. That was just bs comedy.

That statement alone described your movie knowledge and lack thereof.

Therefore, we regret to inform you that your opinion is no longer valid.

I'm sorry. Life must be hard with such a low IQ, huh?

You hang in there, Sunshine.

I get that Echo Boomers wanted their own little cult flick to rally around... like Gen Xers have Reservoir Dogs/The Killer... it's okay, and Dafoe was phenomenal. That said, had it not been for him it would have been pretty bad.

Sometimes I wonder if this flick is an indictment on this generation. In a desperate attempt to have their own cult classic, they adopt this... in other words, they're settling for something just because it's a little off-kiltered and has lots of bullets.

I've got no problems with gun play in films. But, seriously, Echo Boommers/Gen Y/or whatever it's called could have adopted "3,000 Miles to Graceland" instead. Just as campy, and a much better cast.

reply

Well said, this movie was an overblown pile of shít

reply

You're not well-articulated, are you? How the hell is stating "i hated this movie" well said?

reply

"You're not well-articulated, are you?"

Most ironic how my sentence was more articulated than yours..

reply

Congratulations Wayne!

You're the most articulate one on the short bus.
Being the smartest in our special education learning disorders class is like saying you're the tallest midget.

Brag all you want- but you're still not getting laid (the whole school knows about you, your dog, and the or peanut butter incidents) and you're not tall enough to ride the roller coasters at Six Flags on the class field trip this year.

PLEASE - stop coming in my office and asking me, Wayne. I'm very busy.

One more time and NO FIELD TRIP FOR YOU.
You'll be left in class taped to a chair - while 'Boondock Saints' is on repeat.

Principal B.

Why don't you climb up to the top of the nearest 10 storey block, superglue your hands to your head, get someone to tie a piano wire around your neck and then kick you off the arse end of the roof so that it looks like you pulled your own lame ass projecting head off, because that's just about the only funny thing that you'd be capable of, which is more that what can be said of your tragically misguided and unfunny Principal mock up letter.

That being said if Principal B did exist i don't think he'd be too proud of your grammar skills "and the or" make your fúcking mind up, or attend his imaginary grammar class

Theres more chance of me hand delivering a copy of Boondock Saints and wrapping it around your big dumb arrogant head than me watching that horrendously lame garbage once more

reply

I agreed with his statement, therefore in my opinion it was well said you fúcking special needs donkey.

Something like that..

reply

I saw this thing like 10-12 years ago after a friend told me i would like it. He knew the kind of flicks i like - gangster, vigilante/revenge, shoot-em-ups, and guys cursing up a storm.
This had it all. But it felt like it was made by a buncha 12 year olds for 12 year olds. It's seriously silly.
I tried it again recently since it has gained almost legendary status since it came out - same reaction. It's not that it's THAT bad....it's just so stupid and a rip off of dozens of other characters, scenes, attitude, language. It's just not as good as it's rep.

reply

Silly is the right word to describe this movie.

reply



"clichéd"

reply

This movie is not for everyone but it has its charm. It's great if you're into it if you can't get into it then it's just not for you. BTW, I think you want to say which/was/ unnecessary/cliched...I found the characters endearing, the acting fantastic (Dafoe, Flanery, and Reedus). It was made in the time of bug action and gangsta films to be a different sort.

reply

if you don't like it, that's fine, it's a free country....also, being a free country, you don't need to watch it either.....myself, an intelligent citizen of a free country will watch this "cliched piece of....." another time just out of spite, IMO learn to spell before you spit out your opinion or you just look like a *bleeping* moron

reply

No most critics hate it. Check Rotten Tomatoes.

reply

"Check Rotten Tomatoes." ???

I'm sorry but :

We regret (Not really but we're legally required to say that) to inform you that you have been terminated from IMDB.

Based upon your statement, I'm sure riding the short bus has been a tough life but look at the bright side : at least you can live life being told what to watch by the bribed writer's.

And, there's handicap parking, so. .. there's that for ya.

You hang in there, Sunshine.
Don't Stop Believing. .. and all that crap.

reply

Not saying it makes my top ten, but, hey, I popped some popcorn and watched this movie tonight with my brother. I admit it, I'm a chick and wanted to see Norman Reedus, but, it was a good film in its own right.

I enjoyed the way we watch him profiling making it all sound planned to hell and we watch the guys fighting amongst themselves and doing the right stuff by happy accident and it was enjoyable.

I watch movies for lots of reasons - this was a movie I watched for pure escapist entertainment and that is what I got. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel like something deeper and pop in Zero Dark Thirty or something, who knows. Same as with games - I want to think I play Bioshock. I want to escape I pop in Bulletstorm.

So many movies nowadays that are made for men to enjoy don't capture my attention as a woman that is a bit far removed from the 18-25 demographic. I love horror movies and zombie movies and action shoot em ups, but it seems that about 3 times out of 5 I end up sitting down to watch a movie with my brother or fiancee and end up finding something else to do.

I understand people not liking a movie, but to put down those that enjoyed it as being "incapable of rational thought" as someone replying here did is unfair. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and intelligent people can enjoy escapist entertainment for its own sake.
