Well, if you need action or comedy, this is the movie for you. It was a perfect mix with Big Willy and Martin Lawrence.

It was a bit long. It felt like I watched 2 movies, but that's not a bad thing. The action was fast, but the realism of the movie was not believable. Way too many close calls, the way action movies usually are.

The comedy gets an A+ in my book. So far, this is the funniest movie I've seen of the year. There was A LOT of comedy, note that I stress the words, "a lot." I was laughing from start to finish. Very few lines were weak, but there not noticeable.

Overall, this is the perfect film if you want to sit back, watch some people die, and laugh your ass off. You didn't need to see the first one to understand the story, so don't worry. But I do advise you, it was a very gory movie. They showed a lot of disgusting parts, and I'm not talking about sex, I'm talking about gore.

9.1/10

the only complaints i heard was that Mick Bay was trying to make this an R rated movie by showing gore. It seems stupid that they show gore cause they didnt in the first one and i consider that to be a video classic.

My friends and I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny and intense. All the action sequences were involving. My only gripe would be the length of the movie. It wasn't that the 3rd chase scene wasn't entertaining.. no not at all. It just seemed a bit too much.

There was no sex in the movie (unless you count the rats).

I have to be honest I didnt mind the length. It really didnt feel like 2 1/2 hours. I'll be seeing this one again.

There was a lot of needless gore but thats just michael bay and his adolecent mind. Example from BB2...

Do we really need to see a deceased body fly out from the back of a van, get runned over, then show it's head being decapitated??? Do we really need to see that? But of course the movie crowd i was in laughed histarically. The world we live in these days....

downflow311

07-19-2003, 04:42 PM

i dont think he gets paid. he gave POTC a thumb down, i can understand why because its too long. i think bad boys 2 is a thumbs down as well IMO. it is really lacking in the originality department.

07-19-2003, 05:44 PM

I went in to see this movie expecting over-the-top action/gore, and that's just what it delivers. A bit long, yes, but if you're just out to have a good time and enjoy watching cuban drug smugglers get all blow'd up, then this is the movie to see.

Not cinematic gold, and I'm not suprised Roger "Pass Me Another Bacon Cheeseburger" Ebert gave it thumbs down. But I enjoyed it, and all the other guys I went with thought it was a great summer action flick.

Bad Boys II was exactly what is was supposed to be. A buddy Cop/Comedy. It was exactly what I expected going in and exactly what I wanted!! I think the word of mouth is awesome people under 60 seem to love it...not the reviews, but has any action movie by Michael Bay ever gotten a good review? I think the chase "highway" scene absoulutely destroys the chase scene in T3 and possibly contends with the Matrix Reloaded chase scene. The comedy of Will Smith and Martin lawerence is beyond funny. I personally believe Martin Lawerence is an "R" rated comedian. IF you look at his P-13 movies they are pretty lame, but when he starts cussing look out he is hilarious!! Lastly I hope they come through with there promise of having a Bad Boys III.

Lastly anyone know what Michael Bay is working on next?? I saw that he is the producer of Texas Chain Saw Massarcre remake, but what else is he working on??

9/10 overall movie
10/10 Buddy cop/comedy movie

The only 2 movies even or above this movie for the summer are POTC and Matrix Reloaded.

well, box-office results are in. Bad Boys 2 did 46.5 million, pretty modest compared to all the other sequels. i bet this movie does exactly what Charlie's Whores 2 does in the box office.

Halofan1

07-20-2003, 04:34 PM

Ok, here it is, my review...

BAD BOYS II

Michael Bay has made a film I like alot.

I don't even know how I was able to type that after the atrocity that was Pearl Harbor, but I really like this movie. It's been eight years since we last saw narcotics detectives Mike Lowrey(Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett(Martin Lawrence) but they're back, and mostly better. This time our Bad Boys are after Johnny Tapia, who's been dealing ecstasy with a Russian club owner. Meanwhile, Mike and Marcus' sister Syd(Gabrielle Union) are hoppin' on the good foot and doin' the bad thing.

That's really all you need to know, storywise. This plot seems more fleshed out than it's predecessor. What surprised me in this one is how well the roles were portrayed. No, this movie will not be nominated for "Best Actor" but when you look at 2 Fast 2 Furious, the performances here are good. I can't remember once I wanted to cringe at a line delivered bad or a line that shouldn't have been included. The action in this film is good, but not great. Before I say why I have some distaste in it, let me compliment Bay and crew for putting on one of the best chase scenes on film. You think the Reloaded chase is good? This one tops that on every level. T3's was magnificent you say? Wait 'til you see the one in this movie. This time it seemed as if Michael Bay actually knew what the hell he was doing when he wanted to film a movie as opposed to his last effort.

Now, having praised the film, I do have some complaints. A few of which don't hurt the score, one of which made me think. Why is it everytime I go to see an action movie that's "fun", THEY RIP OFF THE ****ING MATRIX?! T3 did it with everyone being thrown 806 feet into the air and DareDevil did it with Elektra and Bullseye jumping 923 feet in the air. I swear, it's becoming a crime to use "bullet-time" nowadays. Oh yeah, Bay does it in this film. Something else that irritated me was the "Landmine" scene at the end. Once you see the film you'll know what I mean when the went a little over-the-top with Tapia. Two things that are more "fanboy" bothers is Johnny Tapia didn't seem as menacing as Fouchet from the first film. Maybe it's because Tapia has a daughter or maybe because Fouchet would drop you like a bad habbit if he wanted to, but Tapia didn't come off as "bad" as I would've liked. The last complaint I have is WHERE ARE SANCHEZ AND RUIZ!? Like I said, that's a fanboy complaint, but they were still a good entertaining part of the first.

Bad Boys II is easily the most fun I've had at the movies this year. X2 and Reloaded may be better, but the two combined are not as fun as this vehicle. And that's what Michael Bay is good at doing, making "fun" movies. However, something like Pearl Harbor should have been taken with a more serious touch, and Bay was not the right man for that job. But I'm not here to destory that movie, I'm here to tell you to sit back, don't expect Citizen Kane, and enjoy Bad Boys II.

Ok, you have to take into consideration that Bad Boys II has an "R" rating, while Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle had a "PG-13".

downflow311

07-20-2003, 04:42 PM

Well, thats That idiot Michael Bay's fault, he didnt have to make Bad Boys 2 that gory. i dont think it really matter anyway, most of the bad boys 2 target audience is between 18-25, considering that first one came out in 95. so since its an R, it might even take a bigger bomb then Charlie's Whores did.

I love buddy cop films. I love action films. I love car chases. This movie was interminable. It was like 2 hours and 45 minutes. Everything got old after the 2 hour mark. They should've trimmed it down, it would've been less annoying. If you wanna see my full review, go to www.rockithardcore.com.

I don't get people, some complain because a movie doesn't have enough gore and some complain cause it has too much. When you see the trailer for this film or any film like this you know what you're getting yourself into. They act like its a surprise.

Cmoney

07-20-2003, 10:46 PM

first of all its 2 hours and 25 minutes not 2:45

second of all it didnt rip off matrix because matrix didnt do the bullet slow motion first. i dont know what movie did but blade did it before matrix. the only reason they even did it was to show that 2 people got shot (one being martin lawrence) with the same bullet. i didnt mind it.

and third why complain about the cussing? if you were getting shot at you wouldnt say "well golly gee wiz they are shooting at our buttucks"

I've seen it twice this movie rules.

i dont care wut any critic or person says, this movie is an instant classic, it has all the element to be one.

This movie mkes you laugh ur a*s off and make you say "holy *****," "d*mn that was hott". this is a great movie, everyone enjoy

I love the first Bad Boys, I thought it was a really great piece of work, and the combination of Lawrence, Smith and Leoni was awesome.

That being said...I hated this movie. It's two hours of my life that I could have spent doing something more interesting...like playing Playstation lol

The car chase scenes? I thought they were too long, too loud and done far too often. Before seeing this movie, I had thought that the car chase in T3 was long, but the scenes in this movie are so ridiculously stupid and drawn out, it made the one in T3 look like Arnold and Loken were taking a nighttime stroll in Central Park.

Also...Martin Lawrence's cop character living in THAT beautiful piece of Florida property? I live in Miami and I've seen those homes...impossible on a cop's salary, lest he were running drugs lol

Haitians with Jamaican and Trinidadian accents? As a West Indian, I take offence to that. Every accent is different, and since when on earth do Haitians have dreadlocks? Errrrr, just because one island's got it, doesn't mean the rest do too lol Shame on Bay :P

All in all, I was sorely disappointed with this movie. The slow motion shots were just overdone, like a well-done steak, tough and hard to swallow. Made Will Smith look like some rookie actor who needed those kinda effects to make him look cool.

And Gabrielle Union? She turned in a better acting job in Bring It On and The Best Man than she did in this overcooked gunfest.

All the swearing? Didn't work either.
Sorely disappointed in this movie. :(
The only thing worthwhile in this absolute waste of my good time was seeing my dream cars, the Cadillac CTS and the H2 :D Pity they got all beaten up :p
Oh and nice shots of making Puerto Rico look like Cuba lol

This movie was excellent,excellent,excellent. I have been looking for the #1 movie of the summer for me, and I have found it. I already know that no other movie will come close to this one. I saw this last night with friends and we all loved it. This movie was playing to all sold out shows, and this was the first movie I saw in a long time that no one in the theater talked on their cell phone, everyone was glued to the screen. Martin and Will= movie genuis!! I was waiting 8 years for this sequel and it was definitly worth the wait. I loved the action and I love the chemistry between the actors. I was glad that this movie was long so we could enjoy it more. I wished that it would never end. This was good from start to finish, and I will definity see this again. At the end of the movie everyone leaving was talking and calling people telling them how good the movie was, it completly topped the first one.

My final score 10/10!!! The first movie of the summer I gave this to. This flick kicked ass.:)

I notice that you hate every DAMN movie that comes out, what the hells wrong with you. You said you hated this movie once, ok, but you dont have to keep comming on here saying how much you hated it. And this movie is NOT a dissapointment it made 48 MILLION opening weekend. The original only had 15 million opening. And dont hand me that crap about ticket prices going up. people just REALLY wanted to see this movie. This movie made more the T3 and POTC for 3 DAY opening weekends. With all the good word of mouth this movie will cross 100 million. This movie made 3 times the gross of the 1st because it was better, people know martin and will better for there movies since the 1st one opened 8 years ago!!

Trinity1975

07-21-2003, 09:27 PM

I would have to make this my fav of the summer so far. I thought it was a kick ass flick, I'm gonna check out POTC sometime this week and compare, I thought this was better than T3. I liked both.

Knerys

07-22-2003, 03:31 AM

Bad boys wasn't bad. But it was great either. The acting was good and the story was intriging but the action, in a word, overkill. I just wanted to through my hands up when I saw the bodies rolling out of the morgue truck. Too much too fast. And the cussing was really unneccessary. I hear Will Smith won't let his own children see this movie because of that.

But it wasn't bad. There were parts I liked. I loved the interaction between Smith and Lawrence, they work very well together. And I love Joey Pantilano, he was one of the highlights of the movie.

They wanted bigger and badder and they certainly ran with it. Don't get me wrong I love my action movies. But you can only take so many explosion in a row.

7/10

07-22-2003, 10:21 PM

Well his taste kinda sucks, he gave XXX thumbs up. He can be a moron sometimes, he said X2 didnt have a storyline at all and it was for "those with short attention spans." And then he gave Spiderman thumbs down, he said something really ridiculous, it was concerning gravity, that spiderman landed too lightly like a bouncing ball. And then he praised Daredevil. I seriously cant understand him.

Knerys

07-22-2003, 11:55 PM

So he's nick picky, alot of critics are. He bashed the Mumy Returns for being historical inaccurate. He makes some good points in he reviews and in other he has his own reasons. I liked Daredevil, and I know people who didn't like Spiderman. Probably not for the same reasons but everyone has their own perferences.

Bad Boys 2 will have a considerable drop in ticket sales. proving that this movie is not considered by many to be a "good movie."

i dont hate everything; i just dont like a large majority of the movies that you two like. except you psykooo, im a big LOTR fan like yourself. and im also looking forward to once upon a time in mexico, like yourself Hitman. Both of these movies are cutting edge and (not sure about OUIM yet) brilliant. once upon a time in mexico looks awesome except for the fact enrique the fag is in it.

I said "Wow you sure do hate Charlies Angels". Not "You must've hated Charlies Angels". I don't know how my quote got changed..... Anyway, I hated Charlies Angels 2 so it's not like you're the only one. Overmarketing and mass appeal has little effect on me when it comes to how I judge movies so you're gonna want to talk to someone else about that. I'm glad you're looking foward to OUATIM like myself, hell I even got one of the quotes from the trailer as my signature. I won't go over my whole "speech" again but I said it once and I'll say it again, "Charlies Angels is a FUN movie. A movie where you leave your brain at the door and get ready for some mindless action/fun". Don't expect Titanic but just a fun popcorn flick.

OK so....I thought Charlie's Angels 2 was the worst film so far this year...I couldn't stand it.."I know! We'll put hot girls in different costumes for an hour and half with a soundtrack that changes every two minutes and with horribly shot and uninspired action scequences, plus a plot no one will bother to follow!"...yeah so, I was looking forward to Bad Boys 2 but...well, am I going to like Bad Boys 2 if I hated Charlie's Angels 2? I dig Will Smith, he's always a crowd pleaser, and I'm ok with over-the-top action as long as it has some sense in it and is well done at least, not ****ty wire fu and bad computer generated effects.

You will love Bad Boys 2, it has no cheesy computer generated effects whatsoever, and contains no wire fu. Will and Martin do a great job together, and you will have a great time at this movie.

07-26-2003, 02:19 AM

Well I thought Bad Boys 2 was ok. A lot of stuff seemed out of the ordinary, and a little over the top, not to mention more cussing than cussing itself.

But man XXX was a disappointment, and Mummy Returns was an even bigger disappointment... for the comments above.

I agree with all of Ebert & Roeper's thumbs up though. It helps me pick a movie when they thumbed it up usually. But i've disagreed with a lot of their thumbs downs.

Bad Boys 2 will have a considerable drop in ticket sales. proving that this movie is not considered by many to be a "good movie."

i dont hate everything; i just dont like a large majority of the movies that you two like. except you psykooo, im a big LOTR fan like yourself. and im also looking forward to once upon a time in mexico, like yourself Hitman. Both of these movies are cutting edge and (not sure about OUIM yet) brilliant. once upon a time in mexico looks awesome except for the fact enrique the fag is in it. You can like cutting edge movies and fun actions ones all in the same lifetime though. ;)

Some movie are made to be inovative, and other are just for fun. This is definitely one that was just of fun. There are alot of movies out there, and many differnt genres, all that have good and bad movies. Just because a movie isn't the most brillant thing since Citizen Kane doesn't mean it's bad. And with movie after movie after movie coming out these days I think repeat viewings are goign down. There alot on the market.

I see movie that intrige me and movie that are simply an escape.

i just came back from seeing the movie. Only two things ruined the movie for me:
First, the porn video was very explicit and could have been done better if it was only sound, but they showed the video itself, which wasn't right at all. Second is the dead women's breasts, should not be there. Looking at a dead women's breasts is not sexy, should have been deleted out.

If these two things weren't in the movie, i would have bought this movie, but now, it's not a movie to see with my family.

I saw the movie last night. I came in just to enjoy something and get my mind off the hell of the work week I had. I enjoyed the movie, thought the comedy was top notch, and the action kicked serious butt. The car chase scene definitely tops T3s and comes very close to Matrix Reloaded. The only complaint I have really was how long it was. I had to go to the bathroom so damn badly by the end it was foul.

This isn't supposed to be a masterpiece of film I will say to the haters. It's just for fun and to see ish get blown up. That's how I went into it, and had a good time.

I was suprised by how much language Will Smith used...quite disturbing for him to bust out so many four letter words.

Personally I though the amount of language was wholely unnecessary. You can get you point across without **** 10 times in two minutes.

Did you ever see the 1st Bad Boys? That movie damn near brought the 4 letter words back in style, as if they ever left.

No doubt. Bad Boys II had expletives x10. It didn't bother me at all though. Jay and Silent Bob could top Mike & Marcus in cussing anyday.

Yeah I don't mind the cursing, because I've heard and said worse. And I've seen the first, it didn't compare to this one in quantity wise.

Wow everyone that didn't like this movie is a baby, and you don't diserve to see it anyways. It was a great action flick, and it was damn funny. I didn't even notice the swearing, the gore, or the length, because it was a good movie and I don' think they over did anything. All of the stunts and chases had to be bigger and badder, its the sequal!

agree movies are for fun. but a movie wont be fun to me if its been done 100 times before and if its another needless action sequel, which is essentially what Bad Boys 2 is. i didnt laugh, i wasnt amazed by the action, and wasnt impressed with the direction. when you compare to the other blockbusters (T3, POTC, etc.) its ultimately passable, which is why i hated it. if you had to pick only one blockbuster to see, this movie would be the wrong one to pick, the competition drowns it out. POTC or T3 are 10 times the movie that Bad Boys 2.

with a statement like this, i think you are the one that doesnt deserve to see movies. you can watch Bad Boys 2 all you want, i never wanted to see it in the first place. this sequel in fact DID over do EVERYTHING IMO. T3 is a sequel that didnt over do everything, it stuck to what made T2 a hit. like i said before, when you compare Bad Boys 2 to everything else, its ultimately passable.

what was so special about t3?

actually, i can't complain about the excessive action and jokes. I laughed hard in this move. Why not have a 2 and half hour movie with alot of action and adrelinine? It's a sequel, and it is way better than the first movie. Like i said before, only two things ruined the movie for me and possible many of u.

Excessive gore, running over dead bodies is wrong, they made it funny later on with the captain and critizing Will and Martin for what they did. But still, not a good site to see, especially the dead guys head popping out, that made me sick. Plus, the morgue scene was just sick with Will Smith putting his arm in bodies. Too much gore, not fun too watch, probably murderers will enjoy that scene.

Nudity and porn. The porn video was funny, but they shouldn't have showed the video to us, it was too explicit. And again, the morgue scene, with the dead women's breast, not right at all. Seeing a dead women's breast is not sexy at all. It's like they had no respect for the dead at all in this movie.

I think people didn't expect this kind of sickness in a Will Smith movie. The first movie didn't have all the gore and nudity, which is why people can enjoy it. Who agrees with me here? For people who hate this movie, aren't these the two things that ruined the movie, be honest now? I bet if these two things weren't here, you guys would have loved this movie.

Downflow311, I got to ask you again, since you were talking crap on this movie before it came out why in the world did you go see this in the first place? was it just so you can keep coming on this thread repeatedly Bi*ching and bashing this movie? If you hated this from the start I can't see you going to see this, wheather someone forced you or not, you should have stayed home, or went to see POTC or T3 again if thats what makes you feel better.

i saw this movie because my girlfriend wanted to see it. if i had my choice, i wouldve picked 28 days later because i havent seen it yet. i liked bad boys 1; but highly disliked bad boys 2. Excuse me for not having the same opinion as all you fanboys out there.

Marvin

07-27-2003, 07:54 PM

I just saw it with a girlfriend. I'll post my opinion in due time.
For now I'll just respond to posts.

For starters, all T3 did was rehash ideas from T2, it was almost a spoof if you ask me.

The new director didn't improve upon the preceeding in any way.

Bad Boys 2 on the other hand...

Was damn good.

Hitman

07-29-2003, 08:52 PM

I enjoyed this movie thoroughly but not everything was THAT funny. The funniest part was when Mike & Marcus where talking in the store about when Marcus got shot in the butt and everyone watching thought they were a gay couple talking about sex. That had me crying with laughter. But stuff like the rats screwing and the morgue scene weren't that funny. I take my hat off to the Freeway scene. Definitely the 2nd best car chase of the summer, right behind Reloaded. It was intense and loud as ****. Just how I like a good car chase! :applaud:

FrankTheBunny

07-29-2003, 10:14 PM

I think the scene when Martin Lawrence's character takes the ectasy and when they're talking to the captain at his house was absolutely hysterical. I couldnt contain myself, but then again, no one could.

teewee1432

07-29-2003, 10:19 PM

I agree I loved that scene. It was also funny when he came down the staires in the captains bathrob like he owned the place and started talking on the phone.

JohnnyBgood

08-03-2003, 02:43 AM

...very weird to see in a action movie, yet thats why the humour worked. "His head fell off, shhit", Lawrence is the great. Although I can see how intense the freeway chase is, especially when the cars are dropped, it just didn't grab you like Reloaded or T3. Also, it didn't work so well with Lawrence's constant one-liners, it interrupted the flow of the chase, although there is one part which was gut wrenching, the scene where the boat skipped over the car and Lawrence looked like he was going to pass out?, yeah, that was funny.

I actually laughed when they ran over the corpse, it wasn't that offensive at all(since the corpse, by definition, is already dead, but the reviews I read made it seem it was a live body, grrr), and neither was the decapitation for the same reason. If you dig gore, and realize no matter how realistic it can look, it will always be fake, well, if you're in that mindset I guess its not so hard to take, or watch Dead/Alive if you want to be appalled by fake looking body parts, you may even laugh.;)

Another sequence I enjoyed was the shoot-out later on, you know, the one where the camera pans in cirles around Smith and his enemies, it was a interesting action scene and it actually looked real, like realistic, not a special effect. If it was, I don't know, but if it was it was convincing...and the audience went "owe..." when the baddie placed his eye in a hole where, at the same time, Smith places his gun on the opposite side, and then a "blam!", yes, the audience went owe and awe, as I was oweing and aweing in unison, a great action scene.

I like the Ludacris gag, too hilerius.

10 out of 10 for the shootouts
8 of 10 for the chase scenes(highlight? when the cars are droppedof course, the one in Cuba wasn't that great, so it loses points and some of Lawrence's one-liners fell flat during these chases, but 8 out of 10 is great still, and the free way chase itself is incrediable, I've actually watched it quite a few times since its so impressive)
and 9 out of 10 for humor(I vaguely remember not laughing at some of the jokes, but there were times nonetheless, but this was the funniest cop buddy film in a whaile, or action film in recent release)

My third favorite film of the summer...

Before I write this I must warn you I have not read the rest of thread so may repeat certain comments. Firstly up until the Cuba part this film was heading for a 5/6 out of 10 from me. I mean the cuban drug lord realises NYPD has his money so hes kind of asking alot straight away when he asks Martin Lawrence to recover it to save his sister.

It was also damn handy that the Cuban cop happened to have a borther with underground connections. Another funny part was when this Cuban was telling them the safe house would be fine even though it was across the road from the drug lord's house. Course he happens to tell them this has they are leaning out of the balcony staring straight across. Whats more for all the high security this house was supposed to have you would have thought they had realised there was a tunnel that ran under the house.

I also hated how so many jokes were repeated like the swimming pool one and the gag where they get the bad boys words wrong(I'm pretty certain they used this one alot in the original too). Theres so much more I could go on about but I'm going to leave it for now.

This film is another fine example of Hollywood money making.

P.S I also had to mention the fact that not one single cop was killed throughout the whole film even several thousand Cubans were. They should just send Will Smith and Martin LAwrence after Saddam and Bin Laden.
