This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the only movie without michael bay, does it holds up? no! the jokes are flat and forced the new directors wanna be like michael bay so hard that they had him cameo in thias and it just didn't work the storyline about mike lowrey secret son is garbage and they killed off captain howard towards the end and threat it like nothing happened the new characters are annoying and add nothing of value to the plot. bring Michael bay back, this movie is weak with bcuz of these hacks that has no clue on what they were doing.

Directing duo Adil and Bilall inject a manic energy into the production doing their best to ape Michael Bay, but this reboot was always going to be dead on arrival.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence come off as off-brand facsimiles of their younger selves, relying on witless camp and forced back-and-forth quipping. You're better off spending money on a ticket for an Oscar contender you may have missed earlier in the season.… Expand

Positives : A couple decent fight choreography scenes. I didn't have to pay to see it. The movie is structured in a way that allows me to multitask and do other things without missing anything, kinda like an audiobook.

I'm looking forward to the day when Hollywood learns that this endless reboot garbage won't net them as much as ORIGINAL GOOD CONTENT.… Expand

Such a great disappointment, that I had to leave a review. There is nothing funny or interesting in that movie, absolutely nothing.

Bad Boys For Life is bad. Really bad. You might enjoy it if you can completely switch your brain off. I mean completely. But there are so many aggressively dumb things in this movie that I just couldn’t handle it. Will Smith and MartinBad Boys For Life is bad. Really bad. You might enjoy it if you can completely switch your brain off. I mean completely. But there are so many aggressively dumb things in this movie that I just couldn’t handle it. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have great chemistry, but it’s somewhat undercut by the stupidity of some of the dialogue. The action is also enjoyable enough, but even that can gets stale sometimes. Honestly the film gets boring at multiple points and some narrative beats just don’t make any sense.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a disgrace. The characters are destroyed. Awful predictable writing, with a twist, that is so completely stupid and not thought out. The villain (who is Will Smiths characters son) is then let out in the end?? After he killed the fan favorite police chief in front of his daughter? What?? Are you guys smoking crack over there in Hollywood?????… Expand

1) Jerry Bruckheimer had almost retired from film to specialize in television series, and this return shows that he had made the right choice.
2) The core of the plot is a clone [...] of last year's "Gemini Man".
3) Action scenes and dialogue jokes were already outdated at the times of the sequels to "Lethal Weapon" thirty years ago, let alone today.
4) Outside the geopolitical maneuvers of the Academy, Mexico is again the kingdom of evil.
5) How sorry am I for the decline of a good character actor like Joe Pantoliano? I'm desensitizing myself to the worst.… Expand
