You know the drill. Sony arranged a board meeting:

• Time to milk some more old franchises. Ok, what do we got?
• Bad Boys?
• Got it. Ok, do we have a generic reboot script?
• We have this old one from Lethal Weapon 4? Grandchildren, retirement, you know.
• 4? Well, ok, whatever. Don't forget to do that reboot thingy, write in what is popular right now?
• Like what?
• Tech, drones, tHe InTeRnEt...why are you asking me?
• Done.
• Ah, yeah, write a couple of scenes to shill our phones and other merch, Windows tablets, you know.
• Done.

I mean, I don't have to tell you, you know what it is. Another Sony "masterpiece" with a generic script based on a revenge plot. The humor was cringe-worthy, the action wasn't even that good (and poorly shot), the whole film looks like a rap video. The story makes zero sense and the ending is incredibly stupid and anticlimactic.

Thanks for Michael Bay cameo though, and I guess the credit scene had Jerry Bruckheimer in it for some reason? Probably an inside joke.

I never thought I'd say this, but damn I miss 90ties Michael Bay. If you have to milk these franchises, at least give him the directing spot so I can enjoy his slow-mo, non-CGI explosions, women objectification and American flags.

I thought this would have been funnier.. based on the first 2 films. It was OK.. but pretty predictable. Some funny parts.. but not as funny as I thought it should be. More violent that it had to be as well. Do I really need to see so many heads being chopped off? Personally no. Some will like it I'm sure.. but for me it was just ok.

Sometimes its better to be remembered for what once was. Bad Boys for Life being a case in question.

This film simply does not work. Its chief failing not the age of its key players but the fact they seem to be forever apologising, for the fact.There are men and women in their 50's in the force, so why all the lame jokes about grey hair, sagging physiques and more?

Plus the need to drag on board secondary characters, apparently to carry the action side of this flick cause the lead characters are "sooooo over the hill"? The result is a film that feels messy, that's only occasionally funny and has no central focus.

What a shame. 5/10.

A fitting end to the trilogy. It's funny and Entertaining

Bad Boys for Life is definitely better than you would expect. Returning to screens 17 years after Bad Boys II, Smith and Lawrence are still a terrific pairing with great comedic chemistry. However, this threequel manages to pack in more heart and maturity than its predecessors. Bad Boys for Life brings all of the explosive fun the series is known for, but takes the franchise in new and exciting directions by choosing to be more reflective in nature.

Why so much hate? As I read the reviews I noticed most had nothing useful to say and I could feel pure hatred towards something else, other than the movie itself. So I did what any bored quarantined person would do.. I looked into it a little closer.

1st. Batch of the feebs mentioned that they were disappointed in the directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (some even were bothered that the directors are both Muslim).

2nd. Batch of the feebs were on about "the movie focuses too much on Feminism". Are you friggin' kiddin' me? The women were awesome in the movie .

3rd. Batch of the feebs were all bots. Rating 1-star and adding few lines of nonsense (I counted 103 bot reviews).

4th. Batch of the feebs were just human beings with bad taste.

Here is what you need to know without: 1. The movie is well directed. 2. The story wasnt perfect, but what is? 3. Acting crew is awesome! And did a perfect job. 4. Enjoy the movie.

REVIEW - BAD BOYS FOR LIFE

Honest review here, the 2 previous films spawned so many other buddy cop copies but the 2 previous Bad Boys had something which made them stand out from the crowd, was it the action? The story? The comedy?

For me this latest installment of the franchise is weak on all of the above, so much so Martin Lawrence just became irritating and actually had no other function in the film other than retiring then coming back then retiring again.

A 2 hour film which in places dragged and one of the weakest silliest plots I've ever seen in a film which disappointed me.

Nowhere near as good as the 2 previous and especially bad because of Martin Lawrence so my score for this complete waste of time and money is,

Rating 6 out of 10

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Bad boys for life is the third bad boy's movie. I would say that was a fun messy movie a symphony of violence and comedy. There was a lot of violence and I lounged a lot. There was a some stuff in the third act I'm not gonna say what happens with the third action sequence is where myself the most and then it went completely jumped the shark and I was like that was fun. The movie has lot of funny moments, there was a lot of part where I chuckled I didn't laugh all everything the movie laughs there's almond. Which is surprising because considering they have not been in Bad Boys since 2003 and Lawrence has not been too active for the past decade because of unfortunate family issue. This movie is better then other ones because it has a much more structured plot and better direction with were it wants to go. I do not want to give away too much detail with the plot. However, you are getting yourself into any action movie with gunfights, chases and explosions. However, that may not necessarily sound appealing. But it definitely feels better if you watch the first two movies to see what you're getting yourself into, but this could also be your first one and you'd still fit right in the movie. The director for Bad Boys 1 & 2 was Michael Bay. Who is known specifically for the extreme quick action movies. Now the new director duo, Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi brought back some of Michael Bay's craziness. Nevertheless, they also brought a new angle were the movie is not so one-dimensional anymore and they has some real life problems which Mike and Marcus have to overcome. This makes this movie so much more satisfying. Because it has been a 17 years wait. If you are going to watch this movie, I think the fact that you should not take this too seriously and only to watch just for enjoying it. Because thinking too much and maybe looking for plot holes will make your experience sour. The way the movie ended there might also have a fourth Bad Boys somewhere in the future. Both of the main characters are facing suffering with Marcus Brunette consider retiring from the police force after becoming a grandfather and decided to focus on his family but Mike Lowery quickly realizes he's not what he once was, and he might have to leave from the police force. They both feel vulnerable which definitely something that I wanted is in the past movies. Because nothing felt like a threat to them. Their relationship was in deep trouble because they were making their ways of impression that they have been doing throughout their whole lives. They all did exceptional work in their parts, but in the past movies having Will and Martin taking too much of the movie. Overall, if we're talking a good action movie with two great action stars with phenomenal chemistry. If you're a fun of this franchise oh boy I cannot wait for you all to see this goodness. I cannot wait to see what the response is and if you're not a fan this could win you over and It is my favorite movie of 2020.

Loved the first 2 films but loved this one even more. The first ones had good humour in them but a lot of this movie I was laughing out loud! It's a movie that's relatable as Marcus and Mike are much older now and so are we as an audience. Great film, lots of action, great story and some really good humour for the older generation.

I wish they made 20, there chemistry is awesome yet again, great great movie, Really impressed me. Vanessa Hudgens was very hot and extremely impressive in her role, shock the heck out of me, many jokes had me in teers, can't wait to watch it again

I never thought I would say this...but I wish Michael Bay had directed this. Maybe the earlier entries hold something dear to his heart and he wouldn't have allowed this to go off the rails.

The biggest casualty is the riffing between the Lawrence and Smith, which practically rips the soul right out of the franchise. The laughs from the first two movies came from the strong chemistry between the two leads and how they could argue in the middle of gun fights, car chases, etc. Here they just sound like an old married couple who have grown tired of each other.

The other casualty is the action scenes. The great Sam Peckinpah once said of the violence in his films that he wanted the audience to feel the impact of getting shot. Modern day use of CGI and such does the exact opposite. It feels more like you're watching somebody else play a video game. While some praise the visuals, I criticize its effect of pushing the viewer further away rather than drawing them in.

This could have been like Lethal Weapon IV and had some fun with its theme of the loose cannon dealing with aging. Instead its more like Beverly Hills Cop III and becomes a sad entry in an otherwise solid franchise.

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.

I'm not sure I can finish the quote on imdb. Swearing and all that. But that aside and not even close to comparing this to the Lethal Weapon franchise, the next entry into the Bad Boys series is here. Many have been waiting for this for a long time. Not sure why that was (many speculations about that), but let's just enjoy that it is here.

It also feels like both Martin and Will never left ... the roles. It feels like they are those guys. Maybe some parts of them do match to their personality, who knows? Having said that, the movie is quite predictable, but also quite fun overall. I cannot be mad at some of the flaws and the convinient timing of certain events. Nor the added relationships and backstories that might feel detached to a degree. If you can just watch it, without thinking too much, it'll be ok. But I reckon it is time to rewatch the first two movies again ... (4 Life though? Shouldn't they have waited to use that for a sure to come part 4? I mean come on!)

Need I say more?.. Will Smith is now so much up his own ass that he can't see a red warning sign, and Martin Lawrence's career has downspiralled so far, he'll take anything... There's no real wisecracking, there's no real plot, they're's no feel... Yet another example of Hollywood overusing another franchise/and it seems they're going again?.. Mmeer...Now the Gods are telling me I need to add to my review because it's too short... So I shall recommend watching Barry Newman in well, anything really, or perhaps 'Vanishing Point' best of all-or, you could watch 'Roesanne'-any episode, or 'Frasier'-the same... The point is, don't watch this crap... I used to like Will Smith, until he tried to bully Hollywood into persuading that his son had talent-he's just awful...At least his (less than talented) wife realized when to lwalk away... This is just another pile of self-appreciating faeces piled onto us, the stupid public, to add to Mr Smith's estimated $1/2 billion worth...

Don't waste your time...

D.

It just rides on the old bad boys vibes to cash out its investment. Nothing more interesting than a typical Hollywood movie anyone can direct.

Don't expect anything different, the jokes are recycled from the first two movies, i like the onscreen duo of Smith and Lawrence and the first two movies so i enjoyed it but will forget it quickly.

In Miami, Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) is a grandfather and intends to retire. Meanwhile, the dangerous Isabel Aretas (Kate del Castillo) escapes from a Mexican prison and plots with her son Armando Aretas (Jacob Scipio) to kill the people responsible for arresting he husband that died in prison. Armando tries to kill Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) but he survives. When he recovers, he decides to hunt down Armando with the support of Marcus and the AMMO led by Rita (Paola Nuñez).

"Bad Boys for Life" is a funny, full of action and entertaining film. This third film of the franchise has a good combination of action and comedy. The plot is predictable but the chemistry of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is worthwhile watching. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil):"Bad Boys Para Sempre" ("Bad Boys for Life")

Man, this movie is awful! Awful story, bad acting. Even bad than the last Fast and Furious

This was surprisingly good and exciting. A few times in the movie they completely surprised me, there were things I didn't expect. Not predictable at all. Also thank you for using real women, with real bodies and not overly skinny women.

25 years old, the first one out. this one got pretty box office still. most jokes are around Martin though

A terrible movie. Script horrible! Numerous goofs! Did they get paid for this? Not even entertaining. No acting....just fooling around. Plot? Copied and predictable. I'm nauseated.

I walked in to the cinemas ready and prepared to watch and expect it to be another bad remake of a movie, and walked out satisfied with what I just watched. This movie was spot on with the environment and the comedy back to its old days. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch something with tons of comedy, and tons of action at the same time.

Good job!

Worth a watch, but not a great movie. They tried to hard to make it funny and it's abit cringe as the jokes were lame. Acting far more natural in 1st 2nd movie. The story line was also weak. The scenes were shot beautifully, good cinema movie. Unfortunately acting and story line let it down. Could have been amazing.

I wish I never watched this movie. A complete waste.
