Bad Boys II (2003)

Admirable film.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Bad Boys 2 is the followup to the hit Michael Bay film Bad Boys released in 1995. Released eight years later after the original, Bad Boys 2 returns both leads Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as this film sees more fresh, louder, longer and offers several more explosions, car cases, and over the top violence.The plot has been done before many times but the style of the film is quite entertainment in watching at certain points. The acting from both leads feels more authentic and less annoying this time around compared to the sequel. The same back and forth is continued but the dialogue does feel more refreshing. Overall, critics have panned this film as it seems many of them took the film too serious. In comparison to the audiences ratings, Bad Boys 2 appears to have delivered in what was intended. Recommend the film in trying not to take it overly serious and enjoy the action.

Boys, what a movie! I remember when I was watching it, I couldn't help but wonder how they made it way better than the first one. The two main actors work so perfectly together and are so funny, together with their chief.Without going into details, just do yourself a favor and watch it. Not only you won't be disappointed, it will make you seem you passed 2 hours of sheer joy.

Never saw either of the Bad Boys movies until relatively recently. A few years ago my curiosity was ~slightly~ piqued when I saw Hot Fuzz and one of the characters kept asking "You ain't seen Bad Boys II???" Soon afterward I ended up buying the blu-ray double pack, watched the first Bad Boys, and enjoyed it well enough I suppose. I had every intention of following up with Bad Boys II, but somehow the motivation to sit down and watch it simply never manifested and it's been collecting dust ever since. The other day I saw a video of Henry Rollins telling a long, rambling and hilarious story about him going to a disastrous movie audition, with the surprise twist that he actually somehow managed to land the part... revealing at the very end of the story that the movie in question was in fact Bad Boys II. For whatever reason, that made me go to my backlog bin of un- watched (often unopened) DVDs and blu-rays and rummaged through it until I found Bad Boys II, and I finally watched it last night. Not a whole lot to say, really. I generally don't buy into the Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer bashing that's been going on for the last 15 years or so, and I guess I expected more. I thought it was a painfully unoriginal and dull movie, despite all of the car chases, shootouts, and explosions. Why did I think it would be more than a retread of countless cop/buddy movies that had preceded it for 20 years (e.g. 24 Hrs.)? It did have a few genuinely hilarious moments, but at this point I'm assuming that the "fawning homage" in Hot Fuzz was purely sarcastic and I was an idiot for not realizing that until now.

I've seen Bad Boys II on TV. Some genius thought he/she had a great idea and offered us a Michael Bay double feature in the wake of the premier of Transformers: Age of Extinction. So, one of the movies has been Bad Boys II.For the reasons i don't want to go into here, i was stuck in a room with a TV set and saw both of those movie. Actually, i've treated the TV set as a moving picture hanging on the wall and devoted my time to more useful things.Bad Boys II starts with police busting a KKK gathering where Will Smith has the honor of personally knocking out a couple of participants. This might have been supposed to be a political message, i assume. And it all goes downhill after that. If you're into action movies, this is the one for you.Apart from the special effects, there is a small detail about Bad Boys II that was good. I introduced the phrase woosah-woosah-woosaah to my vocabulary.
