BAD BOYS 4 WILL SMITH and MARTIN LAWRENCE releasing June 14, 2024

NOT BAD
PRAISE: The formula of these BB movies still works for the most part as the characters are dealing with multiple personal issues the Bad Boys are set up and while on the run must clear their names.
There's still a lot of fun and funny moments because of not only the fact that the characters Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Miles (Martin Lawrence) knowing each other so well but also the bond between the two actors shines through. The banter between the two was very funny at times.I liked how the movie leans heavily into some dramatic threads in the story and how there are some truly involving moments. I think Eric Dane did pretty good as the sadistic McGrath. I think he should be considered to take on the role of Deathstroke if WB ever gets around to really using the character. By now I'm used to the side characters being sidelined in these movies but there are a couple of moments when they pick up the slack. I appreciated that the movie took the time to explain away a couple of things to avoid plot holes. There are multiple action sequences with kills but one particular kill was outstanding.
PROBLEMS: While I didn't mind some of the call backs,the film goes to repetitive mode several times, in which scene from a former BB movie is just tweaked a little with a bit of different dialogue. A character was thrown in with absolutely no development. I kept saying are they going to give this character something to say aside from a few lines? The cameos felt forced to me but I did like the outcome of one of the quick appearances. A character shows up and I immediately knew they were up to no good ten minutes into the movie.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½

This movie reminds me of the last Bad Boys movie!!...That why I said it was ok!!
Martin killed this shit in my opinion.
Man he’s so out of touch….nobody gives a damn about that slap. I never did but most don’t even remember he did it until he wants to remind people.
I might have to go back I don’t remember him acting different in 2 I thought it was 3 it felt like they tried to hold him back some or help him.
But he back in this one. They gave him way more to do in this one.
I think Bad Boys always gonna work. Slap or no slap lol.
i think will smith movies in general will always work
if he takes the right role that is
It depends. If he’s gonna be in a box office smash with a big budget he’s gonna be straight like most people.
Martin needs to get in the gym and eat a better diet. He just looks tired.
What I mean is some roles don’t matter who the lead is. Ain’t nobody watching no big budget slave filck with Will lol. Just depends.
See how Will can move and function with that bitch out of sight? Can she keep it up though?
It's about time she releases an unecessary dicksucking sexcapade story or some other dumb shit.

This film has grossed over $200 million domestic/internationally.
What’s interesting is the cats who directed this film, also directed the shelved “Batgirl” film that the Agenda cats were having severe strokes over.
If these cats did a good job on this flick, it might get Warner Bros. to rethink their decision and release the Batgirl film at some point.
We will wait and see…
