    Don't Bother

    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!

    What...why?

    They really need to understand what people come to watch when the movie is titled Bad boys... Not some old man remembering good old times. Not emotional philosophy. 5 minutes of action saved my mood for the night, but besides that, I am really disapointed.

    Worst one in the series

    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.

    A weak watered-down version of a Bad Boys movie

    This was a disappointing movie all around. The action, jokes, and even chemistry between Martin and Will felt forced as if they were going through the motions. The director seemed like he was trying to be Michael Bay but couldn't quite make it. Marcus was even more of a vagina (censored it) than usual and gets less action than ever before. The ride together mantra that seems constantly repeated throughout the film made it feel like I was watching a boring version of a Fast and Furious movie. Make no mistake I love the Bad Boys franchise. But this film is a weak watered-down version of Bad Boys. If they do make a part 4 which they are alluding to I certainly hope they make it better than this one.

    Walked in with low expectation, walked out satisfied.

    Will Smith and Martin Lawrence steal the show with other talented actors and some eye candy along the way with good budget action. I cant give away too much but this movie was great and lived up to the hype of Bad Boys 1 and 2 respectively.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According 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.
    • Goofs
      The 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.
    • Quotes

      Marcus: I'mma penetrate this man's soul wit my heart.

      Mike: What?

    • Crazy credits
      At 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.
