Thats the problem.

The 1st movie was not that great. Poor dialogue. Poor scripting. Poor pacing. etc. It had the novelty of Irish/American vigilanties done in a dark-comedy style.

I liked it as another Pulp Fiction derivative. It failed at the box office for the reasons mentioned above, but managed to build up a cult status for its irish novelty value. That was built up and built up, and as is often the case, the sequel not live up to the hype.

The sequel is no worse then the original though. Its just the hype that led to the disappointment.
