Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Vanessa Hudgens
This
is the 3rd in the series and I wish I could say I liked it, but I can’t really
give it two thumbs up. I saw the first 2 over the years and they were fun. What
made them fun was the banter between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. They
absolutely play well off of each other. With the new one - it’s like they
forgot to bring the chemistry that made them “Bad Boys.” The movie starts out
very violently and really didn’t let up. Yes, there’s always violence in these
shows - but it seemed extreme this time. I liked some of the action sequences -
but it just didn’t seem to click this time.
The story line focused on Will Smith’s character, Mike Lowery, whose past comes back to haunt
him. Martin Lawrence’s character no longer wants to be a “bad boy” and retires
after Mike gets shot. Mike can’t let go of it, and as he unravels the truth, we
find out the double life he once led. I
wanted to like it so much more than I did. But it forgot who were the “bad
boys” and just made them “old boys.”
