Honestly, I think I like this the most out of the three! Still felt a wee bit long but not as bloated as the other two. Was just great fun to see Lawrence again, and he and Smith still have an infectious chemistry with great humor.
Was pleasantly surprised at how dark it is. Loved the turn though, because it shows that there are real consequences for being gunslinging, shoot-the-club-up cop cowboys (especially Mike) and I felt that this movie really delved into why its characters are how they are, again especially Mike. We've always seen he's a fly-by-seat, trigger happy dude, but now it makes sense. Wonderful to see Paola have a nice sized role in this too after being very strong in Season 2 of The Purge.
Good action, but fairly bad CGI and green screen at times, and I don't love the villain turn, came off too much like The Fate of the Furious at the end. All that said, pleasantly surprised. 7/10.

I think Mike has been taking advice from Han Solo on how to have a psychopath for a son. Action heroes really make shitty parents lol.

In addition to james bond and top gun, this trailer looked pretty good.

I'm either seeing this or 1917 tomorrow, and I somehow don't mind either way. I've been hearing good things on both.

It was my least favorite of the three, but still not bad. Had some good moments.

People complain about the CGI a lot with this one. Can you name some specific scenes that bugged you re CGI?

There's a moment during the car chase where Will is talking to Martin and it's so clearly green screened, nothing looks real. And then Martin has a Gatling Gun that's pretty bad as he's firing to a helicopter.

The fire at the end looked like a video game, but other than that it wasn’t bad.

I like how they adhered to the same formula while progressing the arc of the story. Many franchises mistake attempting something new, whereas if they just left stuff alone it'd all be okay.

This was more fun than it had any right to be. I liked the first but hated the second. I would rate this as the best in the series.

I was actually kind of amazed by this movie and I'm even a little embarrassed to say it but I literally laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time.

It's now by $336.3 million worldwide. That's really awesome.

I saw this on the weekend. It was okay, pretty gory, some laughs. And at the end a woman at the back of the theatre yelled out “Burn in hell, you bitch!” That was the high point of the experience.

Saw this. Would have been better if they had killed off Martin Lawrence's character. His acting was terrible and his joke lines even worse. Smith's character partly made up for it so overall it ended up pretty good.

BAD BOYS PART I 3/10 BAD BOYS PART II 3/10 It appears that the makers of BAD BOYS FOR LIFE took notes of what people didn't like about BAD BOYS PARTS I & II and tried to fix them. It's not 2 1/2 hours long and the audience is actually allowed to enjoy what's on screen, because editors Dan Lebental and Peter McNulty and cinematographer Robrecht Heyvaert know how an action sequence should be presented. Also, instead of relying on only 1 (yellow) or 2 colors (orange & blue), multicolored neon lights are present in many scenes (they're even attached to the vehicles during car/motorcycle chases). Many shots look good, and some of them showcase impressive camerawork. Do you remember when Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett (the protagonists) harassed Reggie (the boy who wanted to go out with Marcus' daughter), which left critics and audience appalled? He appears again, but they all get along. Unfortunately, 2 hours is still not a justified amount for this plot, the humor is still hit-or-miss, and Martin Lawrence's performance is more over-the-top than ever. Without getting into spoilers, the climax involves a place on fire. The characters don't cough due to the smoke. Not even once. There's another cop named Rita Secada. Mike says he used to go out with her. I thought that she was supposed to be the psychiatrist that he slept with (the one who called him papi). There's a scene where they talk about emotions and Mike asks her not to psychoanalyze him. I asked the friend I saw this with if it's possible for a psychiatrist who works for a police department to become an officer and he said that it's allowed. Also, it would be another form of course correction (turning an objectified character in a kind-of misogynistic franchise into a strong woman). Alas, she's a new character. She's the head of a team that consists of younger cops played by recognizable actors. I assumed they would either be revealed as villains in disguise or that Marcus and Mike would pass on the torch to them for the next installment, but none of that happened. In fact, they weren't really highlighted in the marketing. That's something a blockbuster with an R rating would normally do to make sure the 18-25 demographic would buy tickets (not having a PG-13 rating is already seen as a risk). Yes, Will Smith is still a big star, but Martin isn't, and 17 years is enough time to make an I.P. lose its appeal as a brand. However, their strategy still resulted in a box office hit. 5/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.
