Anyone here seen it? It`s an awesome movie! It was, in some parts, hilarious, and in others, very exciting(The uncle benny syndrome - F***! A**!

).

Yeah, good movie, especially that part with the toiletbowl.

Yep [img]smile.gif[/img] . Also, the soundtrack was superb.

I think Irish people are the ones that really love this movie [img]smile.gif[/img]

Great great flick.

It was a good movie but I thought they overdid it with the gay cop thing but maybe it's just me.

Overdid it? How?
IMO, the "What? I just wanted to cuddle" Scene was the funniest scene in the movie [img]smile.gif[/img] .

****Spoiler

I thought it was OK, but to honest I was disappointed. I had heard good things about this movie from several people, and my one friend just bought it so I went over there to watch it. I don't think they did enough with the plot development here. The movie was a little thin. OK they are killing people, but they are only killing bad people. But WHY? I dont think they go far enough in answering that. They kill these guys in self defense and then from that just turn into walking vigilantes? I don't buy it. I thought the action scenes were pretty good, and I liked how they presented what actually happened after DeFoe walked the crime scene. And him being gay added a lot to the humor relief of the movie. It did pose and interesting moral question, but I felt that the script could have better explored the philosophical issues it brought up, as upposed to just having lots of gun fights. Overall I give it a 6 out of 10, slightly above average.

*Spoiler again

I think the reason behind killing all those mobsters was enough. They were trying to make the world a better place. Remember that scene where the saints were sleeping in the jail? At that moment, they got a message from God(or atleast, thats what it looked like to me).

One more thing, everybody. Just yesterday, i checked out the Boondock Saints site and i saw that they are making a SEQUEL!!! Maybe it´ll say something more about why they killed the maffia, AzRael [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW, are we all sure it's BoonDOCK Saints? I thought it was BoonDOGLE Saints.

I know they were supposed to be doing it for the good of everyone, but what made them decide to just go ut one day and start killing gangsters? the plot was a little thin for my tastes is all I am saying.
