It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Two loose-cannon narcotics cops investigate the flow of Ecstasy into Florida from a Cuban drug cartel. Even tho it's almost 2hrs and 30mins Bad Boys II makes for an even greater film than the first both in terms of comedy, action, effects and villain. Jordi Mollà is great as Carlos and the last few mins of the movie and the entire scene where he gets 'bombed' was freaking awesome also Smith and Lawrence are even better this time around especially the scene where they interrogate that kid in the door. The action is more epic and some cameos like from Michael Shannon for instance were hilarious and overall the film was well made. (10/10)

Bad Boys 2 (2003)Plot In A Paragraph: Miami Narcotics Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Bennett head up a task force investigating the flow of ecstasy into Miami.Over long and bloated this is not the fast paced thrill ride the first movie was. The considerably larger budget is definitely up on the screen, but that does not make it a better movie, too many long car chases and shoot outs left me a little bored, and the non stop bickering became annoying after a while.Jordie Mullà is a good bad guy, whilst Gabrielle Union is a decent addition, but Theresa Randle is under used. While Martin Lawrence plays his part, he gets annoying quick with his constant complaining. it's Will Smith that makes this movie for me, but again, he is just playing himself again. Bad Boys 2 grossed $138 million at the domestic box office to end 2003 as the 11th highest grossing movie of the year.

Bad Boys II rages across the screen for two and a half hours. By the halfway point I was pretty drained, but this worked to my advantage. Michael Bay movies tap a different part of the human brain. Bad Boys II brings the viewer to the darkest parts of the mind, but Bay filters it through a sense of child-like immaturity. This tactic allows the viewer to submit to the images put forth on screen. Instead of being disturbed or repulsed by the extremely dark nature of the humor present, a submissive viewer will go along with this and laugh out loud. A lot of laughter will come from the disbelief of what you are seeing.The stars of the movie, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return as detectives Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett. These two are quite possibly the most hateful, immature, sadistic, and despicable movie cops ever. Bay doesn't shy away from portraying shallow and (subjectively) unlikable characters (Pain & Gain, Transformers 2 & 3, Pearl Harbor) but he can ground them in such a way to make them somewhat sympathetic. In this case Mike and Marcus are the rudest most annoying teenage boys you've have ever seen, but dammit aren't they funny? The villain is Cuban drug lord Johnny Tapia played by Diego from 2001's "Blow". This is the character in the movie that is most modeled after Bay himself. He's rich (like Michael Bay), selling a product that stimulates the senses(like Michael Bay movies), and he's got babes everywhere (this is a Michael Bay movie). But as always the main star of a Bay picture is the chaos, and boy does he deliver and over-over-deliver. It's hard for me to decide which Bay sequel is truly "Bay Unleashed", Bad Boys II or Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In terms of overall scale and sensory overload, Transformers 2 is the winner. But by default it goes to Bad Boys II if only for one reason, the "R" rating, Bay doesn't hold back whatsoever. This movie kicks your ass relentlessly for 148 minutes, if you are feeling any sense of morality while watching this and feel the need to complain, please shut it off immediately. If you can submit yourself to the chaotic realm that is Bad Boys II then you are in for quite a ride.

You could perhaps make collectible trading cards out of the unnecessary, overly-long sequences that exist in Bad Boys II. Is it possible that a mildly pretentious, ridiculous, dim-witted film could get a sequel that is even more pretentious, ridiculous, and dim-witted? When you have a film with Michael Bay's name firmly stamped on the cover, one thing is for certain; there will be booms and a lot of them.This is a tiresome sequel, that becomes long and winded after the first half hour because of its oppressive consumption of self-importance from very early on. This is a film that looks cocky and has nothing to hide. There is a scene in the very beginning of the film where Martin Lawrence gets shot on the cheek of his buttocks and we have to listen to a riveting commentary on how the bullet didn't enter the hole but the cheek and how uncomfortable it will be to sit and how stressful it will be for him to go on. Have mercy.It's scenes like that that make the movie plod along at snail's pace. About halfway through this excursion I came to the consensus that the film was utterly listless, and had absolutely no ambition to be good, entertaining, or anything outside of the cloying genre of a "popcorn flick." I sometimes like a good camp movie, but I despise when films use the excuse "it's an action movie, take it for what it is" or the long over-stayed "just turn your brain off." When you truly think about it, why would a movie want to proclaim itself as a "turn your brain off" type piece? Were the writers lazy or was the whole project lacking any form of motivation and ambition. Or was the easy route taken? I'm not sure, but for whatever reason, the film seems to be inherently inept.Again, the story is made complicated by a long run time, numerous dead-on-arrival conversations between criminals, tedious shootouts, astoundingly incoherent car chases, and the constant bickering between two men we are led to believe have been close friends for many years. Detectives Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Smith) return to track down and abolish the smuggling of ecstasy through many underground routes in Florida. You may ask yourself, why does that task take 147 minutes? Because every five, the film is punctuated with either a redundant scream-fest between the detectives or an unacceptable shootout that always results in the same turnout, making it robbed of credible suspense.Bad Boys II wouldn't be so intolerable and unwatchable if it had just improved on three things; one, lee pretentiousness in the direction and the production. Everything looks too production-heavy, incredibly overbearing, and ridiculously glossy as if it was given a paint job by Hollywood. Two, the film's cynical mean-spirit that is carried throughout the entire picture. Multiple scenes have this built up aggression that goes nowhere except right down the drain of despair. And finally, the removal of needless sequences like the one at an electronic store, the one about being shot in places unknown, and the countless number of relentless car chases. This is one of the worst action movies I've seen in a while that didn't involve metal, soulless robot monstrosities.Starring: Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. Directed by: Michael Bay.
