Rating: Summary: Bad Boys II- Simple, Funny and Just Plain Cool Review: Bad Boys II is just one of those films you know you're going to have a great time watching. It's hilarious, action-packed and simply stunning in some places (specifically car chases). Will Smith reprise his role as Mike Lowrey and Martin Lawrence reprises his role as Marcus. Gabrielle Union comes in as Marcus' sister, Syd. The plot of this film is simple, Mike and Marcus are investigating some intensity within the drug trade, our villan who is transporting ecstasy secretly played by Jordi Molla. Suprisingly I must say this film was rather gory, some of which was gratuitous. The car chases were the real highlights of the film, especially the highway chase with truck and the falling cars, simply unbelievable. I thought this film was a bit predictable but I still enjoyed it. Though it is 2 and 1/2 hours long, it doesn't feel to long since it contains incessant action/violence and comedy. Though this one is rather profane and obscene I began to not care about within the first 10 minutes. Now who's funnier, Will or Martin? Well I'd say they're equally hilarious. I liked this one better than the original "Bad Boys." This is definetly worth seeing in theatres, for you'll have a great time and just laught pervasively. Bad Boys II is rated R for Strong Violence and Action (indeed very true), Pervasive Language (also very true), ... and Drug Content. The [physical] content is somewhat moderate, mainly an explicit [physical] situation and some lewd [physical] innuendo. The drug content is fairly moderate as well. See Bad Boys II, a must own when it's released on Video and DVD.
Rating: Summary: NOT QUITE BAD ENOUGH TO BE GOOD Review: For lovers of action and gore, this is a worthy 2 hours and 45 minutes. The movie is rated R, in case you missed it. Some mildly amusing street cop humor, car chases, flying cadavers, rats making out...a lot is stuffed into the rather longish but watchable fare. BUT, this is not for the faint of heart or by the same token the sharp of the mind. Cops drive ferraris and own houses on the beach, Xtasy pills supposedly kill you, action sequences while occasionally mindblowing really amount to very little...etc. It IS an average action flinger and in my mind it is pretty clear Bruckheimer did not really care about being mistaken for anything in the thriller genre. Better than some of the recent misfires like XXX or 2fast-2furious, but dont go expecting anything like the first BB.
Rating: Summary: It was alright...love the effects Review: Not the greatest movie, also not the funniest, to be honest. The only memorable and favourite part was the car chase scene...who doesn't like watching action movies with no serious car destruction scenes?!? Other than that, again, it was okay...nothing much left to say.
Rating: Summary: jaw dropping Review: This movie is my favorite movie of 2003 by far. I don't know how you couldn't find this movie hilarious. It has nonstop action, and awesome carshases including one whe Lowhry(Smith) and Banks(Lawrence) are driving in a ferrari and are being shot at, while at the same time cars are being thrown off a truck at them. Martin Lawrence is absolutely hilarious as is Will Smith. A zillion times better than the first. Awesome.
Rating: Summary: Gross Action & Crude Humor.............I Like It!!!!! Review: Lots of movie critics have always been against whatever Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Director Michael Bay bring to the screen. However, I'm not afraid to say that I've always liked the movies that they've done in the past. Bad Boys II is probably the best movie that Bay and Bruckheimer have ever brought to the big screen (next to Pearl Harbor). This movie is the most action packed movie that I have ever seen. The car chase in this movie is heart-pounding and breath taking. The special effects are awesome. The humor is a little stupid but I still liked it. There were some places in the movie that I couldn't stop laughing. I will admit there are some parts in this movie that are disgusting, but I thought the good parts in this movie overshadowed the bad parts big time. If you like big action packed movies with lots of explosions, car chases and crashes, and guns firing all the time, trust me this movie is for you.
Rating: Summary: [very] good Review: Have to see movie. spectacular action. good story. good humor. can't wait for it to own it on DVD.
Rating: Summary: HORRIBLE, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY Review: This movie is horrible, so long and boring. No plot, was not even that funny. Worst movie of summer 2003.
Rating: Summary: Bad Boys Weren't Quite As Bad Review: Bad Boys II was a good sequel, but directors and producers didn't bring the key elements along. Lawrence portion of the film was some what of a joke, and he is a fav actor of mine. Smith was great, but the chemistry between the two wasn't the same. Marcus character was left dangling at the end of an anger management joke, detracting from the overly cocky character from the first film. Lowry's character is pretty much the same. The action is top notch, but the comedy and drama elements of the first film far outweigh this one.
Rating: Summary: critics and the real world Review: These critics and my sister must be pretty stubborn. How could somebody hate this movie. It's hysterical , got tons of action , and better than the original. I went with my friend and she loved it also. Everyone should see it despite bad reviews. The DVD will be a major part of my collection.
Rating: Summary: Eye Candy Review: First I'd like to start out by saying that I defenitely enjoyed this movie from start to fin. The only thing I was bothered by was the constant eye candy throughout the flick. I think it defenitely took too much away from the action and one liners that most people probably missed. My advise to those who have yet to see this movie is to try and ignore the mindless eye candy and sit back and enjoy the ride. It was definitely a fun ride. Enjoy!
