Bad Boys for Life

This feels lethargic and sluggish, its a smack in the face of the fast paced energetic first two. The leads look tired, the dialogue is 90's TV at best and the plot is laughable. Got no interest in a 4th if this is where its going.

They really need to understand what people come to watch when the movie is titled Bad boys... Not some old man remembering good old times. Not emotional philosophy. 5 minutes of action saved my mood for the night, but besides that, I am really disapointed.

This was a disappointing movie all around. The action, jokes, and even chemistry between Martin and Will felt forced as if they were going through the motions. The director seemed like he was trying to be Michael Bay but couldn't quite make it. Marcus was even more of a vagina (censored it) than usual and gets less action than ever before. The ride together mantra that seems constantly repeated throughout the film made it feel like I was watching a boring version of a Fast and Furious movie. Make no mistake I love the Bad Boys franchise. But this film is a weak watered-down version of Bad Boys. If they do make a part 4 which they are alluding to I certainly hope they make it better than this one.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence steal the show with other talented actors and some eye candy along the way with good budget action. I cant give away too much but this movie was great and lived up to the hype of Bad Boys 1 and 2 respectively.

You know the drill. Sony arranged a board meeting:

• Time to milk some more old franchises. Ok, what do we got?
• Bad Boys?
• Got it. Ok, do we have a generic reboot script?
• We have this old one from Lethal Weapon 4? Grandchildren, retirement, you know.
• 4? Well, ok, whatever. Don't forget to do that reboot thingy, write in what is popular right now?
• Like what?
• Tech, drones, tHe InTeRnEt...why are you asking me?
• Done.
• Ah, yeah, write a couple of scenes to shill our phones and other merch, Windows tablets, you know.
• Done.

I mean, I don't have to tell you, you know what it is. Another Sony "masterpiece" with a generic script based on a revenge plot. The humor was cringe-worthy, the action wasn't even that good (and poorly shot), the whole film looks like a rap video. The story makes zero sense and the ending is incredibly stupid and anticlimactic.

Thanks for Michael Bay cameo though, and I guess the credit scene had Jerry Bruckheimer in it for some reason? Probably an inside joke.

I never thought I'd say this, but damn I miss 90ties Michael Bay. If you have to milk these franchises, at least give him the directing spot so I can enjoy his slow-mo, non-CGI explosions, women objectification and American flags.
