Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A team of two narcotics investigators must take in custody a key witness after an immense quantity of drugs has been stolen right from the police. Together, they must solve the case in order to keep their jobs but their difficult and different characters will play an important role in the investigation, especially with a witness which has no sense of security or respect for other people's property.It's an action packed movie which brings excitement with almost every scene it depicts but its biggest upside is by far the quality of entertainment and laughter it provides. This is how a comedy should be made. This is how you keep the viewers pointed to the screen, by providing them a good plot and a couple of complex characters which manage to make you laugh out loud with almost everything they do. It doesn't have the best story or the best implementation, but it has two brilliant actors which will definitely raise your mood.

A typically bombastic and derivative actioner from the Bay/Bruckheimer team, this time taking the form of the age-old '80s "buddy-buddy" movie and reinventing it with the casting of not one but two black men in the leads: Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Surprisingly, the central pairing is what makes this film work just fine. Despite the juvenile and unnecessarily crude script, Lawrence and Smith have a successful enough screen chemistry to provide a fair quota of laughs along the way (their pairing proved successful enough for an sequel in any case). In fact this film works just fine as an action comedy without ever breaking any new ground. Every scene and situation is sign-posted and clichéd but nonetheless I still found myself enjoying the laughs, antics and comedy situations in which the protagonists find themselves.The action sequences are often loud and quite splendid, although I would have liked a little more originality in the settings and events rather than the predictable old shoot-outs and gun-battles. At least the choreography is spot-on and the action is greatly improved by the bombastic music score which just pumps sheer adrenaline through the listener's system. Highlights to watch out for include an excellent car chase scene and the final, bloody battle at the aircraft hangar which doesn't disappoint in any respect.The usual cast of solid faces flesh out this big budget enterprise: a young and surprisingly beautiful Tea Leoni is the fragile but feisty witness; Joe Pantoliano is the stressed out superior and the sneering Tcheky Karyo is the evil European bad guy (a nice part but Karyo is grossly underused; to see him in a similar but far better role check out KISS OF THE DRAGON). Even Marg Helgenberger and Kim Coates have brief cameos. On a final note, BAD BOYS is one of those films where the two characters have to swap identities halfway through, leading to a major running gag which never lets up and provides some worthwhile situations and banter. Frivolous but fun entertainment.

Bad Boys is an excellent,thrilling and hilarious Action-Comedy that combines great direction,a fantastic cast,amazing Action,non-stop laughs and a memorable score and soundtrack. All of those elements make Bad Boys one of better Action movies of the 1990s that is Michael Bay,Martin Lawrence and Will Smith at their best.Set in Miami,Florida,Bad Boys tells the story of Marcus Burnett(Martin Lawrence)and Mike Lowery(Will Smith)long time best friends who are also Cops and partners in the Miami Police department and are good at their jobs. When a large supply of Heroin is stolen from the police department Burnett and Lowery have to try and get back the dope while protecting and watching over a murder witness Julie(Tea Leoni)with Action,thrills and laughs coming from every corner.Released in 1995,Bad Boys is a terrific,Action-packed and hilarious Action-Comedy that looking back on the movie seemed like a big gamble at the time because it was the directorial debut of director Michael Bay with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith(who were both on very funny hit Sitcoms Martin and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)in lead roles. But the gamble was a big pay off with Bad Boys grossing 141 Million dollars dollars worldwide at the Box Office and is one of the better Action-Buddy-Comedy films in the genre that is still watched to this very day and is one of my favorite Action-Comedies. Bad Boys is a movie that I have loved since I first saw it in theaters in 1995 and is a film that I watch to this very day whenever it's and is just a movie that is just pure,solid entertainment from start to finish for 2 whole hours with Action,thrills and laughs that come at a non-stop rate and is a film that grabs your attention with lots of style. While Bad Boys has an air of predictability and the storyline isn't very groundbreaking or revolutionary there is just something about Bad Boys that makes it so re-watchable after many viewings. The Action scenes in Bad Boys are terrific and memorable with plenty of gunfights,explosions and chases that are exciting and well-done like any Jerry Bruckheimer-Don Simpson production. All of the Bruckheimer and Simpson style is in this film:slow motion,flashy visual style and camera movements presented in all of it's glory in this film. Also,Miami,Florida in Bad Boys is stunning and gorgeous and is one of the best movies set in Miami because with Bad Boys you as a viewer are sucked into Miami and you are having fun while being thrilled. The Comedy and laughs in Bad Boys are just hilarious and funny with scenes and dialog that come alive thanks to the antics of Burnett and Lowery whether it's the back and forth bickering between them or the one-liners that are said. The thing that makes Bad Boys so entertaining all of these years what holds the movie together is the duo Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowery. Unlike most Buddy movies or Action-Buddy-Comedy where the duo are put together and take time to gel together,Burnett and Lowery are already partners and best friends who know each other like the back of their hands. You feel like there is a love and brotherhood between the two and when there is always trouble they will be there for one another no matter what. We also see the differences between them in terms of their personal lives where Burnett is a married man with kids and Lowery is a bachelor with a lavish life style,but when they get into a shootout or chase the two manage to work together and get the job done. Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowery are a great and funny duo that are in my opinion one of the better buddy cop duos in the Action-Comedy sub genre. The ending of Bad Boys is fantastic and great with plenty of Action and thrills that will leave viewers smiling and wanting more. A wonderful ending.The cast is wonderful. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith are excellent and hilarious as Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowery,with Lawrence and Smith being funny and having great chemistry. Tea Leoni is terrific,beautiful and sexy as Julie,a witness who's being watched by Burnett and Lowery. Tcheky Karyo is fantastic as Fouchet,the main villain. Joe Pantoliano is great as Captain Howard,Burnett and Lowery's commander. Theresa Randle is memorable and beautiful as Theresa Burnett,Marcus' wife. Vic Manni(Ferguson),Frank John Hughes(Casper),Nestor Serrano(Detective Sanchez),Julio Oscar Mechoso(Detective Ruiz),Marg Helgenberger(Captain Ailson Sinclair),Michael Imperioli(Jojo),Saverio Guerra(Chet),Mark Macauley(Noah),Karen Alexander(Max),Emmanuel Xuereb(Eddie Dominguez)and John Salley(Fletcher)give good performances as well.The direction by Michael Bay is wonderful and stylish,with Bay giving the movie a nice pace and a cool visual style using different angles and doing a great job with the Action scenes. Fine direction,Bay.The score by Mark Mancina is great,intense and matches the Action throughout the film. Good score,Mancina. There is also a terrific Hip-Hop/R&B soundtrack with songs that goes with the energy of the film.In final word,if you love Michael Bay,Martin Lawrence,Will Smith,Action films or Action-Comedies,I highly suggest you see Bad Boys an excellent,thrilling and hilarious Action-Comedy that you will watch again and again. Highly Recommended. 10/10.

This is one of the most enjoyable romps I have seen. An excellent and difficult production, bolstered by great performances. Wonderful movie, and I should know, I practically grew up on it. This cast interacts with absolute precision, whether walking around a room or interrupting each others' wisecracks. Certainly the characterizations are shallow and quickly changeable, often for little or no reason.As social commentary I give it an eight; for story and acting a five. It's worth seeing for some inventive uses of sound and the actors. This is a great film with a tone reminiscent of other great films. Quality work that draws you in and doesn't let you go.
