Clevercell Very disappointing...

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

adonis98-743-186503 Two loose-cannon narcotics cops investigate the flow of Ecstasy into Florida from a Cuban drug cartel. Even tho it's almost 2hrs and 30mins Bad Boys II makes for an even greater film than the first both in terms of comedy, action, effects and villain. Jordi Mollà is great as Carlos and the last few mins of the movie and the entire scene where he gets 'bombed' was freaking awesome also Smith and Lawrence are even better this time around especially the scene where they interrogate that kid in the door. The action is more epic and some cameos like from Michael Shannon for instance were hilarious and overall the film was well made. (10/10)

Druffmaul 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.

KineticSeoul This is the sequel that Michael Bay took it over the top. Some parts are just annoying to sit through, but at least the chase scenes are cool. This is part buddy cop movie and part cop fantasy. In other words this is the movie that will make kids want to be police officers. Not because of what the job really is but because it has a lot of stuff the main duo does that they can't get away with in real life. This is the movie that showcases what Michael Bay is all about. It has just about every trademark Bay is known for all crammed up in one movie. When it comes to the plot, it's probably the worst one yet. It's all basically a set up for the next action scene. Which might work for a video game but as a movie, well it falters. The shootouts seems like it's a copy of John Woo movies but without the riveting emotions and grit to it. Instead it's a sequel that tries to be more of the first one in every area to the point it sometimes gets annoying to sit through. Especially when it comes to the interaction between the two leads. Although Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) is more likable this time around and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is the one that gets annoying with the over exaggeration. This is a serviceable action movie if you don't care about the plot at all and just want to see kickass chase scenes then it's passable.6.8/10

bowmanblue Apparently not many people have. 'Bad Boys II' is one of those rare films which seems to have totally eclipsed the original. Most people seem to have seen the second part without seeing what came before. Therefore, if you're wondering what Part II is like, you really should start by watching the first one. It's basically the same, or at least the same tone. If you like Part I then you'll definitely like Part II.Martin Lawrence and Will Smith play two Miami cops who 'do things their own way.' Yeah, nothing new there. In fact, there's nothing much new about the whole 'Bad Boys' package... and yet it's still soooo much fun. Okay, so you may have to suspend your disbelief slightly – a lot of what happens is probably a little more exaggerated than it would be in real life. However, it's not supposed to realistic – it's just a great film to watch and enjoy.It's about a drugs kingpin who...well, does what evil drugs kingpins do. And Will and Lawrence have to bring him to account. You really don't need to know much about the plot. It has fantastic car chases, wicked shoot-outs and Martin and Will play off each other perfectly. Again, the fact they tend to argue their way through gunfire is just one of many telltale signs that this film isn't supposed to be 'hyper-realistic,' but, what the hell, it makes a good film.Don't let the fact that it was directed by Michael Bay put you off. It was done waaaay before the travesty that is the Transformers franchise. Just put your brain to one side and enjoy the craziness and general banter between Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. If you want 'realism' in police drama, watch a reality TV cops show. If you want overblown shoot-outs, car chases and beautiful scenery – you know where to come!
