Wow! Such a good movie.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Bad Boys 2 is the followup to the hit Michael Bay film Bad Boys released in 1995. Released eight years later after the original, Bad Boys 2 returns both leads Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as this film sees more fresh, louder, longer and offers several more explosions, car cases, and over the top violence.The plot has been done before many times but the style of the film is quite entertainment in watching at certain points. The acting from both leads feels more authentic and less annoying this time around compared to the sequel. The same back and forth is continued but the dialogue does feel more refreshing. Overall, critics have panned this film as it seems many of them took the film too serious. In comparison to the audiences ratings, Bad Boys 2 appears to have delivered in what was intended. Recommend the film in trying not to take it overly serious and enjoy the action.
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
This is my all time favorite excellent sequel buddy cop gunplay action flick I love it to death. It is Michael Bay's underrated excellent sequel! This is a prototypical "good" action movie -- intense, perfectly executed, it is original action, shown to the tune of a unforgettable following story from the first movie with a gunplay's fanatic dreams. The score to this movie I would give (for you) for Bad-Boys II a 6.6. To action junkies, this movie is an easy 9, because the only thing that really matters is that the action is superb and the other elements, if not stellar, don't detract enough from the action to really make a difference.Splitting the difference, I am giving an 8/10 -- a good score.Bad Boys II (2003) is Michael Bay second installment in the Bad Boys franchise that first movie from the 90's become a classic buddy cop action flick. I went to see this movie in the movie theater in 2003 when it come out. I loved the first movie so much, that I hoped so much that there would be a sequel to this awesome movie flick and 8 years later my hopes were answered. I got this movie on Blu-ray and re watching this movie again I still absolutely love it, since the first time I watched it in the movie theater. There is action violence, some drug content, and some tiny bit of sexuality but still this movie got 8 awards and was the best action movie in 2003. This is one of Michael Bay's best action films. So in conclusion if anybody like teenagers, or adults want to see this movie then I think this a great movie for them if their interested in action movie. Plot: Narcotics cops Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) head up a task force investigating the flow of ecstasy into Miami. Their search leads to a dangerous kingpin Johnny Tapia (Jordi Mollà), whose plan to control the city's drug traffic has touched off an underground war. Meanwhile, things get sexy between Mike and Syd (Gabrielle Union), Marcus's sister.Michael Bay returns as director and the film finds Miami detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) battling Haitian and Cuban drug runners. The film's cast includes Joe Pantoliano and Gabrielle Union. It may have taken 8 years to reunite the Bad Boys, but it was well worth it as Martin Lawrence and Will Smith go balls to the walls in this roller coaster ride of a sequel. Director Michael Bay leaves nothing unearthed as the bullets fly and bodies fall. The chase sequence on the Miami bridge is worth the price of admission alone.Gabrielle Union as Special DEA Agent Sydney "Syd" Burnett, did a wonderful, brilliant and outstanding job portraying Marcus sister. I am happy that we see Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) in relationship with Syd and that we meet Marcus (Martin Lawrence) sister for the first time. She was never mentioned before in the first movie and we never know about his family. Mike Lorey was an only child and his parents were rich. Watch out for the scene where Marcus accidentally drinks two pills of ecstasy and get's high in Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano)'s house and does a funny scenes, it is hilarious. The sequel is one of the most technically perfect action movies of all time. The set-pieces are jaw dropping and the freeway chase is one of greatest car chases in cinema history. Real stunts, real explosions and arguably the most over the top casual brutality in a mainstream action movie. Bodies flying out of trucks, then being decapitated, it's all right here.There are the wildest car chase scenes put all over the film, there isn't only one scene there are more car scenes. There are cars crashes, explosions and destroyed motor vehicles, you see them a lot in a perfect stunt vehicle. There is a rescue mission when Marcus's sister (Gabrielle Union) is kidnapped Mike (Will Smith) and Marcus (Martin Lawrence), along with their voluntary S.W.A.T. team and Syd's DEA co-workers, prepare a military assault to rescue Syd from Tapia's home.There are a lot of handguns and automatic weapons used in this movie and they are used well, we see a lot of shootouts, watch out for slo- motion on the end of scene where Syd throws Lowrey's other Glock 17, yet Burnett appears with a Glock, he makes a flip from the mine filed, the mine is a decoy and shoots Tapia right in the head between the eyes, the ending is very climatic action perfectly executed on a mine field. The problem: movie is way too long but the action is so spectacular and pace so relentless that you'll be caught up until the end credits. The movie is about 30 minutes too long, clocking in at a whopping 2 and a half hours which is definitely overkill. You'll never be bored though as it rockets along at a great pace. I love Bad Boys I and II to death! Technically speaking, the movie is not perfect. I would give it a 9. As it stands, I give it: 8/10.Bad Boys II is a 2003 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith.

Action speaks louder than words! And as its the case with Bay, his films seem to follow the same principle. I am not a Michael Bay fan, but Bad Boys 2 is my favourite Bayhem film (Pain and Gain being the number two). Bay is known not for his storytelling, but for 'action-sense' or 'Bayhem' .. and Bad Boys 2 proves that he is one of the best in the business.The film follows the story of two partner cops who are on a trail of drug traffickers in Miami. From Will Smith, to Martin Lawrence and Peter Stormare, this film has got stock of great actors, but again, this film is not much about acting.Bad Boys 2 delivers some of the best shot action sequence till date. Amir Mokri (DOP) is magical with his work. Every gunshot and explosion seems right in your face, along with what can be called THE best car chase in the history of action films. Technically, Bad Boys 2 was way ahead of its time. Some might disagree but I miss this kind of production in today's age. Hence, Bad Boys 2 is like a bookmark for me in my movie watching timeline.Conclusion: Don't miss this film, if you are an action film buff! And if you have already seen this movie, you know what I am talking about."WOOOOSSAAA!"
