I'd been intrigued by these movies and all the references I hear from it, or used to back when it was cool :bleh:

. So I saw the original last year, and the second one just today, and thoroughly enjoyed it. But then I check the reviews for them, and I simply cannot understand why it had all bad reviews. I mean, I thought the first one was absolute gold (the second one lacking a bit in the department of making some damn sense), but reviewers didn't seem to think so. Hell, NONE of them did (according to metacritic).

So, my question is, why so critical? Who doesn't enjoy epic fight scenes involving porcelain toilets dropping 10 stories onto someone's face?

None.

I dunno. First was amazing. Second was amazing. I had friends who left halfway through watching the second movie though, because they thought it was that bad. TBH, so did I, until the ending.

I dont see how anyone could think that the first movie was bad in the least. The second one, I can kinda understand, since it was kinda on-off for a lot of my friends.

None.

Whaaat? I enjoyed both of them. The only part I hated in the second one where the parts that gave that old red head screen time. I disliked her character.

Of course the ending to the second one was fuck yea awesome. It hints at the possibility of a third movie and the fact that if the saints are released they are going to get more members or something and take it global. The comedy in the movie was the kind you could probably only enjoy with masculine friends and alcohol. The Rocko dream sequence was very memorable.

Truthfully I don't know why but I do enjoy these movies and to be honest looking at them from the out side they really don't seem that great. It's something about them that makes me really enjoy them. I try to get my friends into them for for every 1 person that I can get to like them 10 more think it's stupid.

None.

Woah

I think most of the bad reviews come from people who watched "Overnight," the documentary about the writer/director of "Boondock Saints." He thought "Boondock Saints" was the second coming of Christ, and had the biggest ego of anyone I've every seen. I think a lot of biased reviews came about after that documentary was released.

The first one was a stupid but fun one-time-watch. Haven't seen the second one.

None.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

[08:48 am]

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

[08:47 am]

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
