    An hysterical, heartstopping, nail-biting blast that blows the first movie out of the water.

    I hate this film. It's just 2 grown men arguing for 2 hours! - Again!
  • July 18, 2009
    Too much too late, waaaaay to stupid with over the top action and unrealistic set pieces. Too much swearing and too many close ups of the cop duo, its almost like a fashion show with pretty explosions, and its unbelieveably too long for an action cop flick, ego trip for all and i...( read more)t kinda looks like an MTV music video hehe

    I didn't turn off a movie in a very long time. But the first 45 minutes of this were nothing but annoying, dumb stereotypes. Although I enjoyed the first part, this sequel had nothing to offer. Shiny camera tricks, car wrecks, shootouts, sure, there are worse things to see in a m...( read more)ovie of the cop buddies genre. The thing is, we've seen it all before and better. This film tried to top it all by boosting the violence to new levels, but the general feel of the film was so stupid and, even worse, inhuman and misanthropic that I had to turn it off because I felt it just was stealing my time. What a waste.

    On continue bien la suite du premier film. J'ai beaucoup plus aimé que le premier, mais ... beaucoup plus violent par contre. On na gardé la petite touche d'humour. J'adore la fin à dans le sud, à Cuba, j'adore.

    Throwing more comedy into a movie doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. This is where Michael Bay got the idea that he likes comedy a lot, so he decided to put it into every scene he could. The only high point in this movie was Peter Stormare's rampage toward the end.

    I have this dvd: this shows good, great, laugh.

    The best........ wild actions

    Michael bay believes in excess, and everything to the sequel of the the first Bad Boys is writ large. The two leads - Will Smith and Martin Lawrence still work well together with their chemistry. Some of the new cast members were also great, especially Gabrielle Union - I'll also...( read more) add that she is so sexy! The villain in this one is very different compared to the villain in the first film. He's a bit more woosy at times, but he's more badass at times. The action is at a much higher level than it was in the first film. There's a lot more of it. The explosions are louder, the badass car stunts never cease to amaze and the new slo-mo special effects look awesome. Some of the visuals look fantastic as well. The story still has the same formula as the first film, except they've added in a few different sub-plots. The finale is one of Michael Bay's greatest - and that's saying something. I like both of the Bad Boys films - but this is definitley my favourite out of both of em. A fun, explosive, energetic action flick. One of Michael Bay's greatest!

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Very funny at times, maudlin at others and excruciatingly violent throughout, Bad Boys II -- director Michael Bay's latest festival of exploding cars and shaking cameras -- is, at 147 long minutes, ju... full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Despite some awesomely choreographed stunts and the two stars' pedal-to -the-metal appeal, the movie seems endless. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Everybody involved in this project needs to do some community service. full review

July 17, 2003
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The cinematic equivalent of toxic waste. full review

July 17, 2003
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

[An] assaultive, bombastic, and occasionally funny spectacle. full review

July 17, 2003
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Jerry Bruckheimer has delivered a destruction extravaganza that is the peak, the thundering apex, the exploding propane refinery of overblown mayhem. full review

    I disagree with ihuge The Action scenes were very well thought out. If the camera angle didnt change youd just have a movie from a few angles it wouldnt be exciteing... dont start criticizing the camera changing if you don't know what you're talking about... The camera changes often to keep the action exciting, it is an action/comedy you know?

    An action pack film with the ecentric comedy backing from Lawrence. Very well constructed plot line complimented by Smith's typicaly cockiness. A very entertaining film.
