बैड बॉयज़: राईड ऑर डाई

I loved the first two and felt like the third was very, very off tone and out of place for the "trilogy". If like me you disliked the third, you will hate for forth. Where the third introduced this bazaar soap opera styled movie with a witch and a long lost son, this one they introduce.... god? And soul mates..... its funny I completely missed the warlock and demons in the first and second film.

I genuinely hope this movie makes enough money to fund a 5th film just so they can afford Michael bay and some decent writers! Because I love seeing Will and Martin together and the characters (at least the OG version of them were so great). Why have they made Marcus SOOO dumb... it didn't work for Thor love and thunder and it doesn't work here.

The directors need to quit and just work for MTV it's genuinely like they have never seen the first two films and have only HEARD about Bay's style of directing. Just because you can fit a camera in a seemingly impossible position doesn't mean you should do it every 3 minutes. Every shot and scene in this film is just flooding with an attempt to be stylish or cool or bay-esc. The camera is constantly spinning or moving it makes Bay's shaky cam feel like a tripod. Also what's with ALL the colour/neon!? Every close up I swear has either a red, green or purple glow to it; unless it's interior, in which case you are treated to over the top lens flare from curtain less windows. The OG films looked beautiful but also had some grit to them.

Point is I am a fan so wanted to like it but it didn't look good, it wasn't funny and it just felt like the franchise is going the same direction as fast and the furious but some how less entertaining.

The last two films have been a crime to cinema, how they got Will and Martin to sign their contracts I will never know.

How two thirds of this film was ever put on the page, I will never know. It felt like a straight to DVD waste of time.

So I was left a little disappointed after the last film, something just seemed to be missing but this really hit the spot.

The 2 central characters still have great chemistry, but this felt a lot more like an ensemble piece with more fleshed out characters around them. I'm just going say #Reggierocks.

Some great cinematography with lots of fab camera and drone work zooming around all over the place. The first person gun work at one point added a new dimension.

Miami looks beautiful with the Orange and Teal tones.

Action galore and a good protagonist in Eric Dane, although his motive and why he is doing what he is, was pretty rubbish, but he still played it well, and to be fair you don't come in to this sort of film hoping for Shakespeare level story telling.

Some fun cameos pop up which raise a smile.

The soundtrack is good and Lorne Balfe delivers on the orchestrated score.

It has all you would expect from a Michael Bay production. Definitely life still in the franchise.

The movie" continues the long-running saga, but this latest installment falls into the trap of delivering more of the same without much innovation. The film lacks any fresh elements and largely recycles tropes seen in countless other action movies.

The action scenes, while brief and sporadic, feature our heavily battered yet inexplicably bulletproof heroes. These sequences are interspersed with lengthy, tiresome filler dialogue that does little to advance the plot or develop the characters. The two hours in the theater felt more like a slog, as the film struggled to maintain engagement with its audience.

"Bad Boys 4" at times resembles an ego-shooter game, a style that may appeal to fans of intense, immersive violence. However, this aspect requires a particular taste for such content. While the film manages to deliver solid entertainment and the dynamic chemistry between Smith and Lawrence remains a highlight, it ultimately fails to rise to the level of a masterpiece.

One of the most glaring issues is the evident aging of the main actors. Smith and Lawrence, though charismatic, often show their age, and the series' attempt to maintain the high-energy antics of its predecessors feels forced and out of touch. The weariness is palpable in many scenes, making it clear that the franchise is running on fumes.

A passable action film that relies heavily on the established rapport of its leading men. It offers a familiar blend of action and humor, but its lack of originality and overused clichés render it a largely forgettable experience. While fans of the series might find some enjoyment, it's time for this franchise to finally rest, acknowledging that its stars can no longer convincingly play the roles of youthful action heroes.

Longtime, not to mention long in the tooth police partners Mike and Marcus ride together...they die together...and now are back in a superfluous sequel together. Mike is attempting to settle down, Marcus is trying to avoid stress, but that all goes out the window when their late superior officer Captain Howard is implicated to be in cahoots with a dangerous drug cartel. Naturally they feel inclined to preserve the posthumous legacy of their fellow policeman. Beyond good use of the Miami scenery, there isn't much going on here to justify this sequel's existence; it shoehorns in some major characters who aren't given anything substantial to do, with a stale plot that runs on autopilot featuring generic bad guys, rat-a-tat-tat action scenes (with disorienting camera work), and forced attempts at humor which continually flop. The results aren't funny or exciting despite how hard Martin and Will try to make it work, and attempts to recapture the magic of earlier movies only highlight how lame and unneeded this newest entry truly is...whatcha gonna do? Find something else to watch. *½

I'm not understanding all these good reviews on here? I LOVED the first two, liked the 3rd one, but have recently grew more attached to the 3rd one as of lately. However, this one, what a major disappointment. It seemed like they had a set amount of days to make this movie with a set amount of money to spend for the movie. It literally was not like ANY of the other 3. The action was scenes were abysmal, their usually funny and perfect timed humor was nowhere to be found. Thinking the funniest part of this movie was the very end with Reggie. I'm hoping that this movie will be like the 3rd and grow on me. Oh and not to mention, the casting was awful! I LOVED the captain, he was the 3rd most loved person in all 3 movies, next to Mike and Marcus. I love the idea of the daughter to avenge his death, however, the casting of his daughter in this movie was an awful choice. I just felt her acting was pitiful. I'm not sure what happened to Michael Bay/ Jerry Bruckheimer making this movie, but my thumbs up are for the first 3 and a thumbs down for the 4th.
