This is the sort of movie which would divide opinion, some would hate it because they'd think it would be too excessive and a bit over the top in terms of violence, language and action. Other people would love it because they would see it as a thrill a minute, kick ass and cool experience. While I can understand why some would have a negative opinion of this movie, I happen to enjoy it. The dialogue at times was sharp witty and at times funny, and the tension as the story builds towards its explosive climax could be cut with a knife. A few faults would be the pacing was inconsistent, slow at times, then suddenly picks up, on occasion the dialogue was a bit cheesy and macho and some of the action was a tad unrealistic, but at the same time fun. The cast by and large were solid, and the chemistry between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as partners who happen to be polar opposites when it comes to personality makes the movie work, and Joe Pantoliano as the beleaguered police captain gives a very good impression of someone at the end of his tether thanks to the antics of Mike and Marcus. Onto the villains, Jordi Molla turns in a frightening performance as Johnny Tapia, whose laid back demeanor hides a ruthless and merciless personality, likewise Peter Stormare as the Russian mobster whose muscled out by Tapia in the drug distribution business. The movie depicts a three way criminal drug and turf war between Cuban Russian and Jamaican gangsters on the streets of Miami with the police caught in the crossfire, and shows how ruthless the bad guys can be when it comes to dealing with those who would get in their way, and how explosive the results can be. One of those movies which I like but I can understand why others may not.

Suitable for kids maybe, otherwise to many stupid trash scenes that should be funny, but in reality so stupid that is embarrassing to watch. Police driving Ferrari, on empty roads in city, haha, good joke. Don't know hoe can you watch this film without thinking how stupid it is.

Action speaks louder than words! And as its the case with Bay, his films seem to follow the same principle. I am not a Michael Bay fan, but Bad Boys 2 is my favourite Bayhem film (Pain and Gain being the number two). Bay is known not for his storytelling, but for 'action-sense' or 'Bayhem' .. and Bad Boys 2 proves that he is one of the best in the business.The film follows the story of two partner cops who are on a trail of drug traffickers in Miami. From Will Smith, to Martin Lawrence and Peter Stormare, this film has got stock of great actors, but again, this film is not much about acting.Bad Boys 2 delivers some of the best shot action sequence till date. Amir Mokri (DOP) is magical with his work. Every gunshot and explosion seems right in your face, along with what can be called THE best car chase in the history of action films. Technically, Bad Boys 2 was way ahead of its time. Some might disagree but I miss this kind of production in today's age. Hence, Bad Boys 2 is like a bookmark for me in my movie watching timeline.Conclusion: Don't miss this film, if you are an action film buff! And if you have already seen this movie, you know what I am talking about."WOOOOSSAAA!"

The boys are back. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are kicking butt. At least Marcus is getting shot in the butt. Mike has been seeing Marcus' sister Sydney Burnett (Gabrielle Union) who's works in the DEA office. Marcus has asked for a transfer away from Mike. But neither is willing to fess up. They're assigned to investigate the flow of drugs, and run smack into Syd who's gone undercover.Director Michael Bay is unapologetic in creating a big bombastic popcorn movie. It opens with the heroes taking down the KKK. And if you think he can't get any louder, he throws you into a car chase to end all chases. I must admit it is crazy fun. The one thing Michael Bay knows how to do is blow things up. But it does get tiring. It's loud, annoying, and doesn't let up. It's a brutal way to spend 2 and 1/2 hours. But I do recommend the car chase to everybody. It's definitely worth repeat viewings.
