Brief synopsis of Bad Boys 2

Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) return as partners on the Miami Tactical Narcotics Team in director Michael Bay's (PEARL HARBOR, ARMAGEDDON) sequel to the 1995 blockbuster BAD BOYS. Car chases and shoot outs are daily occurences as the two try to track down a big time Ecstasy dealer. The trail leads to Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla) a Cuban immigrant who runs the biggest drug cartel on the East Coast. The stakes are raised when Marcus discovers that his sister, Syd (Gabrielle Union), an agent for the Drug Enforcement Agency, is working undercover trying to bust Tapia as well. And to further complicate matters, Syd and Mike have become involved romantically and are keeping it a secret from Marcus. Jam-packed with massive explosions, wild chase scenes, and flying bullets, this wild ride is filled with action and violence. Smith is charming as the quick-tempered, fast-talking Mike, and Lawrence is his ideal counterpart as the stressed-out Marcus, who resorts to therapy tricks to keep calm. Joe Pantoliano reprises his role as Captain Howard, who is livid about the trail of wrecked cars and damage his boys leave behind them.

Rated - 2 starsHmmmmmm

I feel really let down, the original Badboy's was a really good film. Fair enough it was a no brainer, not exactly one you had to think about, but it was good, some nice action, funny one liners and a nice relationship between its main characters.

But the sequel, come on, absolute pants.

Most of the gags weren't funny, they tried to incorporate lines from the other film in such an awkward way it made me shout with disgust. Some of the action was good, but in no way original. And the final nail in its coffin, 'IT WAS OVER 2 HOURS LONG' Why would someone subject us to that. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't

Rated - 1 starsUnless you are impressed by predictable action alone - just don't bother!

Bexley from Enfield , 14/07/2004

Oh dear - what a poor film.

I liked Bad Boys 1 - it had a fairly decent fast moving plot, good action, witty lines, some intelligent dialogue (but to be fair we don't ask for much of that) but Bad Boys II had none of this.

It was utterly predictable from start to finish. Never a mind a 'no brainer' action movie this is a 'no hoper'.

You don't ordinarily demand really fantastic plot nor dialogue from an action movie but when even the action itself is predictable it just gets kinda tiresome.

(I'd give a warning that there is a spoiler coming up here - but really my point is that anyone watching this movie will KNOW exactly what's gonna happen well in advance anyway - so carry on reading you have nothing to lose).

Take the, admittedly action packed, car chase for example. This is possibly the only scene worth watching in the entire movie. Yet...

You're watching the scene and you think 'oh look a fast uncontrollable car chase'...'oh look a car transport truck with lots of cars loaded on top of it'...'oh surprise the cars are sliding off it'...'oh look a medical truck carrying corpses with an open back door!'...'oh look there are corpses flying out of the back'...'oh look a truck with a boat on it'...'I wonder what's gonna happen next?!?' - NOT! Ad infinitum

I am afraid I can't comment on the last 20 minutes of the movie. I fell asleep. It was far too long for such a movie anyway. When I finally woke up I asked my friend did X, Y and Z happen and he said 'yep - I wish I'd fallen asleep too!'

So, it's OK, but there are better ways to spend your time and better naff action movies to watch. If you're gonna watch it, have the fast forward button in your hand! :o)

Rated - 2 starsGive it a miss...

Very average buddy-cop movie, with one decent car chase, mixed with American anti-Cuban propaganda.
