The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day

[FormerUser123]

I went to see this last night and it was AWESOME. If you liked the original, this one is almost as good. They were a little excessive with the comic relief, but all in all it was a great movie. The cinematography was outstanding, a few of the actors were a little weak, but all in all I'd give it a solid 8.5/10. Definitely worth the drive to KoP.

Anyone else seen it yet? Or fans of the original?

We should consider ourselves lucky to live in the Northeast. I just checked out the list of theaters it's showing in, they are all PA, NJ, CT/MA/RI, and CA. We win!

I've gotta say, though, I think it'll be spread out to a lot more theaters as time goes on, like they did with Paranormal Activity or whatever that ghost movie was called.

Love the original!

Boondock Saints 2 Release Locations Scarce for Saints Fans
By Robert Dougherty

Boondock Saints 2 release locations are few and far between, but those Boondock Saints 2 release locations are valuable to Saints fans. Only 65 Boondock Saints 2 release locations are out there this weekend, mostly in New York and Los Angeles. Despite the Boondock Saints cult following, it might be hard for Boondock Saints 2 to get more release locations in the weeks ahead. That doesn't mean the fans won't try, as they create online petitions for more Boondock Saints 2 release locations.

The Boondock Saints cult following has waited for a sequel for 10 years. Despite the release date being today, many fans may have to wait a while longer. Many of them aren't close to Boondock Saints 2 release locations today, since there are only 65 theaters playing the movie today, most of them on the Coasts.

Fans can only search online to see if they are near a Boondock Saints 2 location. But it is their hope that in the coming weeks, the movie will get a wider release. Petitions have been formed online for a nationwide release, but that might be very hard to come by.

Earlier this month, Paranormal Activity was only out in a select few theaters, and now it is a box office phenomenon. That was accomplished due to rave reviews, word-of-mouth, and some studio backing. But Boondock Saints 2 does not have studio backing, is a sequel to a film that's 10 years old, and only has good word-of-mouth from its fanbase.

To many people outside of the Boondocks cult, the movies are ultra-violent messes that are third-rate Quentin Tarantino knockoffs. Some audiences are probably more familiar with writer-director Troy Duffy from his notorious off-screen downfall, and not his films. If the Boondock Saints 2 release locations are to increase, there needs to be a strong push from fans other than those in the Boondocks/Duffy cult.

But even if there aren't enough Boondock Saints 2 release locations to go around, it may not matter in the long run. The first film only became successful when it left theaters, and became a home video hit. Likewise, the success of the sequel will likely come from DVD sales, especially when fans who aren't near Boondock Saints 2 theaters finally get to see it.

For those lucky fans near the 65 select theater locations, today truly is All Saints Day. But for others, it will take a while longer to see the MacManus brothers strike again.

I don't get why they didnt release it nation wide.
The first was amazing, I can only hope for the second to be as good.
