An unpleasant, mean movie all the way.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 4, 2019

Like our two loose cannons with badges, the movie misses its target at least as often as it hits it. Along the way, as well, it will likely batter a few brain cells into a premature grave.

The producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the director Michael Bay's buddy-cop destructorama has all the editing beats of a sex film.

| Jun 6, 2014

Producer Bruckheimer and director Bay have sunk to a new low for irresponsible, inhuman violence, dragging Will Smith and Martin Lawrence along for a ghastly, deafening display of bloodshed.

Full Review | Jun 6, 2014

By the last-reel showdown in Cuba, your senses have been carpet-bombed past repair, and the overlength of the thing leaves you moaning for mercy.

| Jun 6, 2014

Bad Boys II is the rare case in which escapism involves leaving the theater.

| Jun 6, 2014

Generic, loud and violent action; not for kids.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2010

This sequel is as sour and jaded as they come.

| Feb 5, 2010

There's some 'bad', meaning good, here; there's also a lot of plain bad. Frankly, there's just far too much of everything.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

Way over the top, the film is morally off-kilter, designed for laddish lunkheads with a thirst for the lowest common denominator.

| Jan 26, 2006

Bad Boys II, which reunites Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as Miami narcotics agents, resembles a full-length promo for itself.

Full Review | Aug 7, 2004

Bay's world is basically Miami Vice squared, cubed and updated to THX and Dolby SurroundSound noise levels, and it must have cost the earth to outstrip every other action-bozo currently labouring in the same field.

| Jan 15, 2004

An unapologetic, unreconstructed actioner that's as entertaining as it is politically retrograde.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2003

It's a comedy that runs a whopping 146 minutes, destroys more property than the average hurricane and must have cost more than a small war. In fact, it is a small war, but one where collateral damage is the point, not the problem.

| Sep 20, 2003

Over-loud, overlong and stunning in its crassness and laziness.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 5, 2003

Bad Boys 2 plays like a flashy highlight reel from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

| Jul 22, 2003

... a nasty, mean-spirited movie.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2003

You leave the theatre thinking less of yourself and humanity as a whole.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 20, 2003

Necrophilia, explosions, destroyed motor vehicles, gratuitous T&A and Martin Lawrence and Will Smith doing their lame Abbott-and -Costello act. What's not to hate?

| Jul 19, 2003

Just like Bad Boys, only louder, longer and the stars get paid more.
