The opening sequence of Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day is now available for viewing on ign.com, the quality is not stellar, but it is the opening sequence for the movie.
Boondock Saints is a cult hit. It's the ideal movie for fans of clever, unadulterated, violence and snappy dialogue. I personally love the movie, the way it's shot, the way it's edited, and the way it's written. It's not the most technically solid movie, but it's such pure entertainment. I have been looking forward to the sequel ever since the news that it was shooting sprung up last August.
After watching the first five minutes, it honesty looks like I expected it to look; flashy, cool, but too much like the original. That's how the whole movie seems to be shaping up, it's essentially the original which means that it will not be as good. For example, nearly all the cast is back, with the exception of Willem Dafoe. There are some interesting additions to the cast such as Peter Fonda (Easy Rider), Clifton Collins Jr. (Star Trek and Sunshine Cleaning) and Julie Benz (TV - Dexter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as the protege to Willem Dafoe's character. With Troy Duffy back at the helm writing and directing this sequel it should be a big treat for fans of the original. However, by being second in line, the sequel will automatically lose some critical value. This will not necessarily kill the movie, but it does not help the movie's cause either.
In the end, I will go see this movie, I will probably buy the DVD, and I will enjoy it.
