Bad Boys: Ride or Die

I do not understand why some people are still at this "Will Smith" slap stage. Just get over with it. You don't give 1/10 to a movie like this unless you're dumb and got shot in the head. Yes what he did was bad, but it has nothing to do with the movie nor his actions, cuz remember he's an actor. Remember all these people giving 1/10 are still but*hurt about the slap & are trying to boycott Will Smith for his acting career. I don't want to include any spoilers, The movie is funny got great comedy lines, great acting and the jokes are just too funny so don't lurk around giving weird unrealistic rating just because you don't like the actor in real life. & i'd suggest to watch it for fun.

Been a hardcore fan of the first bad boys and also enjoyed the second but this one lacks depth and the way the camera moves around all the time makes it really uncomfortable to watch and takes away a lot how you experience the story. It's like they try to cover the lack of depth with some spectacular filming but they made it worse. Quite disappointing. Don't get me wrong it's still entertaining but it's just not bad boys anymore as it used to be. There just could have been worked more in depth around the characters and conversations instead of trying to focus only on the filming. It's like the directors want it just too much. Keep it simple and don't overdue it. Especially when you have good actors.

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.

It's still the same old routine. It's so boring to watch. How could the director have the nerve to make this? The bickering scenes from the first to the fourth installment have just worn me out. The only part that left a bit of an impression was the airplane scene, but even that was just so - so. After all, Hollywood action choreographers have exhausted every possible idea from space to the ocean floor. It's really difficult to get the audience's adrenaline pumping these days. And the ending, with the villains getting caught and the so - called forgiveness, is all the same old cliché. The crux of the matter is that in this combination of an action movie and a comedy, neither aspect has a single outstanding highlight. That's why it's a failure.
