Boondock Saints 2.0 Triumph Part 1: The List of Charges
Posted on | November 19, 2009 | No Comments
It’s no secret that Boondock Saints Franchise creator Troy Duffy and his begrudged movie critics have differing opinions on what makes a good film.
The charges critics made of the film include:
- 1) Copying Tarantino, John Woo, Mario Puzo, and moreorless anyone who’s made an action film
- 2) Horrific language
- 3) Offending the Irish, Mexicans, Catholics (Irish Catholics I’m assuming), the Corleones, cat lovers, and the Almighty
- 4) Objectification of Special Agent Eunice Bloom, the only major female character with significant screen time (for those who aren’t a fan of the Boondock Saints Franchise, yet, the MacManus brothers’ mother was the reason they learned five languages and if you saw the uncut version of Boondock Saints, you actually meet her)
- 5) Both “Stiff acting” & “Over acting”
With the now-national release of Boondock Saints II, Troy Duffy has shown once again that the only critical voices he chose to listen to when making the film were of his fans.
As shown in C-Ho’s previous article, a simple Twitter search of “Boondock Saints” shows the love actual moviegoers have for this cult film. And for the record, the popular Twitter RT during the post:
RT @TFLN: (518): just saw a girl with a lower back tattoo of the boondock saints prayer.. i will marry her
Corporate Whoredom will spend the next few days breaking down the hypocrisies associated with each charge and inconsistencies amongst critics with respect to each charge as well as show examples of other “great” movies “guilty” of these charges. The analysis will lead up to a convincing arguent which supports our initial assumption:
And while we do this, we’ll point out that Troy Duffy has a better grasp of the 2.0 world than his critical adversaries.
Were there any charges we left out?
