Sometimes its better to be remembered for what once was. Bad Boys for Life being a case in question.
This film simply does not work. Its chief failing not the age of its key players but the fact they seem to be forever apologising, for the fact.There are men and women in their 50's in the force, so why all the lame jokes about grey hair, sagging physiques and more?
Plus the need to drag on board secondary characters, apparently to carry the action side of this flick cause the lead characters are "sooooo over the hill"? The result is a film that feels messy, that's only occasionally funny and has no central focus.
What a shame. 5/10.

Marcus doesn't really have a role in the film, he continuously goes on about god. The supporting cast have no personality. The brilliant relationship between Mike and Marcus (that made the first 2 films so unique) is non existent. Should have been left alone and just left it with the original 2 films!
How does this Bad Boys sequel gets such a high rating? There's clearly some cheating going on with those ratings. Bad Boys For Life is without a doubt the worst movie of this franchise. I did enjoy the early Bad Boys so I thought this one would be in the same lineage but all I got was irritation. I don't know who wrote this script but it's cringing to watch at times. We're used to overly exaggerated action scenes in this kind of movies but here it just gets ridiculous. The chemistry between Will Smith and the normally always funny Martin Lawrence is completely lost. I could count the funny moments on one hand, and even with those I had to force a smile. I can't say I did enjoy this movie, I was glad when I saw the end credits appearing, and I sincerely hope that they will close this chapter forever. We don't need another Bad Boys.
There's not many movies that I don't sit all the way through, but this is a rare exception.
Even the concept itself is pretty laughable.
I love the first 2 films, but this is just sad and predictable.
I swear the score is stolen from Hans Zimmer too.
Good photography though I guess?
Jokes: meh Action: meh Acting: meh Script: lol
The only half decent scene was the simultaneous shots of Mike getting in the car and Marcus getting food and putting on the TV. That's a great takeaway from a BAD BOYS movie, huh?
I rate 3/10 because people worked hard on this steaming pile of sloppy manure.

This feels lethargic and sluggish, its a smack in the face of the fast paced energetic first two. The leads look tired, the dialogue is 90's TV at best and the plot is laughable. Got no interest in a 4th if this is where its going.
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Martin Lawrence, Will Smith and he had to rewatch "Bad Boys" 1 and 2 multiple times everyday in order to get their characters back on track, since it's been so long after the second sequel.
- GoofsThe police drone used is an off-the-shelf DJI Mavic Pro, available to consumers.
It is incredibly loud, and would have given away its position to the bad guys long before it was able to spy on them.
- Crazy creditsAt the end, the movie fades and it shows a title card Bad Boys For Life. Then there is a brief scene of Mike visiting his son in prison before the actual credits role.
