I'm with you, bro. This was a cool movie, fun to watch and all, don't get me wrong. But I don't want another one. One was good. A second one might be a damn Michael Bay blow shit up deluxe. Totally destroy the good that the first one was

Hmm. The movie is good. I myself find it a very nice artistic expression of a fairyland that doesn't exist anywhere in Southie. That said, it's not a dumbed down gun and run flick, but it's not the epitome of elegant action that you may find in a more nuanced film. Truthfully, I like the film in part because I think Willem Dafoe puts out a great performance, and it deals with traits I can find in people I knew in the not so distant area around Boston.
BUT, I've seen some summaries of the previously aborted stillbirth of a sequel he was trying a few years ago. It's not a movie that I would shit on without getting paid; all of the things I enjoyed in the original are stripped away and thrown out. Probably worse than the Highlander that shall not be mentioned. I think he just needs the money; maybe his house has lost some value.
