Movie Reviews of Bad Boys - Special Edition
Movie Review: Whatcha Gonna Do?
Summary: 4 Stars
When the movie first came out in 1995 I was only 5 years old and didn't really care about it. But as I got older I saw the trailers and commercials for Bad Boys II and I had to admit, although it was R, I was interested. It starts off with two cops; family man Marcus Burnett(Martin Lawrence) and the ladies man Mike Lowry (Will Smith), driving on the Miami streets. After a very successful heroin drug bust (worth one hundred million) they feel pretty good about themselves. That is, until they find all their evidence has disapeered. As the story goes on the only witness to a crime linked directly with the heist they're working to break will only speak with the cop named Mike Lowry, which, at the moment is not around. What's a best friend/partner to do? Pretend to be his friend of course! The plot can be easily guessed for the most part and there is heavy violence and language but nonetheless I found myself laughing (especially the minimart scene, you'll see) and forgetting all about the predictable plot and cliches. If you can easily ignore the strong profanity use or love it then this movie is for you.Movie Review: Whatcha Gonna Do?

Summary: 4 Stars
But I really enjoyed the catty and sarcastic back and forth of Will Smith's and Martin Lawrence's characters. For some, this may be a detractor and get annoying quickly. But for me, I was very amused by it. This is perhaps director Michael Bay's best film. (Armageddon and Pearl Harbor were both wretched.)
An enjoyable film. Better than "Con-Air." On par with "The Rock." Good action. Funny banter and repartee. Although a lot of killing - what would you expect from a Simpson/Bruckheimer production though?
I know --- I've panned American Beauty, Magnolia, The Green Mile, Unbreakable, Wonder Boys, Cider house Rules (what am I forgetting? -- and now I'm lauding this movie? Go figure. It made me laugh. A lot. LMAO is good :)
If you enjoyed "Midnight Run" and or "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," then give this one a try. Or if you like Bad Boys, you may want to look into PlanesTrains&Automobile and Midnight Run. All have a lot of enjoyable banter.
Movie Review: smith & lawrence make Bad Boys a blast
Summary: 4 Stars
if one is looking for an action/comedy, cop-buddy movie, this is the one. lawrence and smith are definitly very funny in this movie and you can tell they had a blast making it. this is micheal bay's movie directorial debut and he directs it with flash and style... there is energy and excitement in each of his shots. the plot is cliche, the story predictable, the characters are poorly defined. even bay admits the script wasn't the best. but its the performances turned in by the main actors and bay's visual style that makes what could have been a standard lethal weapon rip off into one hell of a fun movie.
as a side note, mark mancina's score for this movie is among the best I've heard in an action movie. he has fast paced pieces for the action scenes and slow, beautiful music for the scenes involving emotions. without his music, Bad Boys would have been a little less enjoyable.
Movie Review: Lawrence and Smith makes this film entertaining.
Summary: 4 Stars
Two Miami Detectives (Martin Lawrence & Will Smith) are to investigate missing large quantity of Drugs from a Police-Evidence Room, stolen by a European Thief (Tchery Karyo). When the Thief killed a Call Girl, which one of the Detectives knows her, when a Key Witness (Tea Leoni) saw her friend died, the Two Cops have to protect her.Directed by first time:Micheal Bay (The Rock, Armaggeddon, Pearl Harbor) made a sytlish action-comedy thriller. Lawrence and Smith are Well-Matched together in this. A Box Office Hit in 1995. A Comeback for Producers:Don Simpson (who died after Producing The Rock) and Jerry Bruckheimer. Familiar but it`s great fun filled with Comedy and Exciting Action Moments. Grade:B+.
