Product Description
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back – and oh so bad – on the streets of Miami in Bad Boys 2, reuniting them with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay. Narcotics detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) have been assigned to a high-tech task force investigating the flow of designer ecstasy into Miami. Their inquiries inadvertently lead them to a major conspiracy involving a vicious kingpin (Jordi Molla), whose ambitions to take over the city’s drug trade have ignited a bloody turf war. But Mike and Marcus’ friendship and working relationship is threatened when Mike begins to develop feelings for Marcus’ sister Syd (Gabrielle Union). Unless they can separate the personal from the professional, the bad boys are in danger of blowing the case and endangering Syd’s life in the process.

If you liked the first one then you'll probably enjoy this. This is same formula stuff, lots of action, guns, explosions etc, an old storyline and quick dialogue. As expected there's some humour kicking about, and some in fairly poor taste, but it's enjoyable enough stuff for a Saturday night. The budget was 200 million dollars and it needs to be seen just to witness first hand the amount of damage done in the chase scene, unbelievable. The actors are obviously comfortable in their roles and the script does them justice. All in all it does what it says on the tin.

Will smith and Martin larence are the best when it comes to action, guns and death! Men in Black 2 wasn't as good as the 1st one and most people thought that bad boys 2 was going to be the same. But people were wrong! The number 2 in the title of a movie is always a sign that its no going to be as good as before. Bad Boys 2 proved me wrong, I have to say this was one of the best movies i have ever seen! The feachers arn't that bad iether. Loads of extra, never before seen footage and song videos from the movie. If your looking to buy a copie of bad boys 2 form amazon.co.uk, go ahead!

I quietly loved the original and was very surprised when a sequel was being touted. Much more surprised when the original stars came back. You just know that Smith is only there to try and help rebuild his friend Lawrences' career. Was it worth it?
Well, not sure. Smith has made a few dubious career choices lately and has certainly lost his magic touch. MIB2 was pointless, just an exact rehash of the original. This though, really does try to push the original idea forwards. You get the idea that Bad Boys 2 is the movie they originally wanted to make years ago, but didnt have the budget.
The action is breathtaking. We were supposed to be in awe of the car chase in the second Matrix movie, but it has nothing on this. The chase with the dead bodies is close to the mark, but who cares.
The banter however, is the low point. Why make the two of them start to question each other, when we want to root for them? But, when the unscripted arguing is in full flow, its like a warm, funny blanket.
An undeniable pleasure, with a slight aftertaste of 'am i allowed to really enjoy that?'
Well, yes you can. Big, loud, stupid and funny cinema at its best

One that was eight years later than the money spinning first film made in 1995. Directed again by Michael Bay, this sequel sees Will Smith and Martin Lawrence joined by Jordi Mollà, Gabrielle Union and Peter Stormare. Plot sees the wise cracking, bickering, buddy cops out to stem the flood of designer ecstasy into Miami. But the lads don't just have the pressures of the job to handle, but also some personal issues too; and the strain is starting to tell on both of them.
Lets cut to the chase here, which ironically is what Bay does frequently in this movie, the film is too long, too shallow and devoid of a decent plot. But is it fun? Does it do exactly what one expects of a Michael Bay popcorner? Hell yes it does. Even if after you have peeled your eyes and ears off of the walls-and sifted thru the carnage-you find that more is more is not necessarily a good thing. But hey, on the good side of good is that Messrs Smith & Lawrence still function well as a duo, quipping away and standing tall in the name of machismo. Bay's pyrotechnics are at times incredible, with a Miami freeway pursuit as good as it gets for such entertaining devastation. But the script (Ron Shelton & Jerry Stahl) is often dull, and worryingly sometimes, offensive. Bigger budget means that everything on the film is also bigger, but it's not a better film than the one that went before it.
Making back over double its $130 million production budget, the film clearly had enough interested viewers. It also meant that somewhat inevitably a second sequel will surface in the next couple of years after an 8 or 9 year gap. It's hoped that the writers can come up with a cracking plot that's with the times and that Bay can find the right level of action to go with the narrative. 6.5/10

The one thing i liked about Bad Boys 1 was that even though it was an action film, it had a decent plot. This movies plot is really uneven. This movie really relies on good humor and action to really make up for the plot, and who better to do that then Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. Also, the hilarious Joe Pantoliano as the captain, he is even more funny then he was in the first Bad Boys. Some really funny scenes in this, Martin Lawrence and Will Smith checking the dead bodies is my favorite scene, also Martin Lawrence seeing the rats having sex. Will Smith is alright on comedy, he is not at his best in this movie when it comes to comedy.
This movie was long overdue, which is why i was disappointed with the plot of the movie. I mean, it had been over 8 years since the original, and i was really expecting better. The action scenes are good though, very well directed and well setup. On action, this movie really tops the first Bad Boys, that is almost obvious.

Mediocre
At this film's premise, it's a police action film. The plot (not that you'll care) involves Will Smith and Martin Lawrence hunting down drug dealers. Read more

Glossy high quality comedy action that almost matches the original
The Bad Boys series is defined by sarcastic, slightly bad-taste comedy blended very well with fast hyper-violent action, and as such the films make for hugely entertaining viewing... Read more
