filmscholar Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) I like how the film set up Marcus's Son In Law Reggie and Mike's New found Son Armando. It felt like those young characters can grow with the franchise going forward and you may have a spin off on your hands down the line. I saw something online saying call it "Bad Sons", lol. Both of them are young actors so I don't know if they can carry a movie just yet. But you can elevate their characters in Bad Boys 5 (You know it's happening). I know the critics hate when blockbusters do this but I enjoyed how there were so many story arcs that connected. You had Captain Howard's Daughter Revenge Arc. You had Mike's Son Redemption Arc after killing Captain Howard. You had the Reggie from shy teen to a Badass Arc, You hard Marcus spiritual awakening no fear arc. You had Mike panic attacks because now he was afraid of losing his Wife and new found Son arc. Ammo team arc along with Rita and her relationship Arc, You had the whole Captain Howard Police Conspiracy arc. I mean for all those story threads, I thought it came together well in the end. The Reggie Scene and Martin Slapping Will during the Panic Attack brought the house down, huge claps, cheers and laughs. Also LOL @ The Michael Bay Cameo. He was driving the original Porsche from "Bad Boys 1": Edited June 9 by filmscholar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Nothing groundbreaking, but upholds the franchise's MO after nearly 30 years of being an enjoyable enough diversion. These films earn points for consistent quality (with the exception of the asinine II). Will Smith proves the Oscars debacle hasn't diminished his natural charisma that remains as strong as ever at 55, and his chemistry with Martin Lawrence (receiving all of the funniest lines, as usual) remains a highlight. Reggie is definitely the MVP though. What an unexpected certified badass icon! B- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menor the Destroyer Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 REGGIE Second best in the series only behind 2, both in action and comedy a step up from 3. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) definitely better than the last one this one actually has cool action. Guessed Mr Fantastic as a "surprise" villain approximately 0.4 seconds into his screentime. Edited June 11 by CoolioD1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Even worst than the last one with an annoying Martin/Marcus! I don't understand how in the hell the last two movies are fresh at RT and loved by the audience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flopped Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I'm a fan of this franchise even though it doesn't have one objectively good movie in it. But this was hot garbage. Last one was much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcaballero Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Echo the praise for the Reggie moments. Easily the best couple of scenes in an overall fun movie. Thought some of the camerawork was inventive too, and lived up to the Bayhem standard. The panic attack subplot felt tacked on, and every aspect of the plot is wholly predictable, but thankfully it stays light on its feet the entire time.

Supercom Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Martin Lawrence has just never been funny to me. Mayeb I'm just an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxon5 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 This film seemed like a made for TV product. Its been 21 years and the production value seems to have diminished and the humour is too tame. I think these directors listened too much to the anti bay critics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
