Bad Boys: Até o Fim

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.

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.

I looked forward to Bad Boys: Ride or Die as I really enjoyed Bad Boys for Life. It retains a lot of the positive things which have made the past films fun such as impactful action, R rated jokes and family dynamics. That came with a bunch of side characters new and old and an okay plot but there is one thing that lets this movie down and it's Martin Lawrence's character, Marcus Burnett.

Unfortunately, it's becoming all too common in Hollywood for a character to be so over the top for a movie that it just becomes distracting.

After surviving a near death experience at the beginning of the film, Marcus is high on life and he literally acts as if he is high for the rest of the film. This went beyond fun and playful to the point where it was distracting and annoying. It led to many frustrating scenes which felt like they belonged in a cartoon including one scene where the characters chose one of the worst possible moments to sing the Bad Boys theme.

In the End, Bad Boys Ride or Die is a frustrating but okay film which could have been much better with different narrative choices although many people might enjoy the direction that the film went.
