Bad Boys
Slick to a fault, this glossy action flick takes place in sunny Florida, where Martin Lawrence and Will Smith play two cops--one married with kids, the other a swinging bachelor. The two are forced to trade places to foil criminal mastermind Fouchet (Tcheky Karyo) who has stolen $100 million worth of heroin from a police lockup. Violent, illogical, and filled with wall-to-wall profanity, Bad Boys was the last film produced by the hit-making team of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer before Simpson's untimely death, and marked the directorial debut of Michael Bay who followed up with The Rock. Bad Boys will be of interest to action buffs and fans of Tea Leoni, who makes one of her early screen appearances in the central supporting role. --Jeff Shannon Bad Boys II
No one goes to a movie directed by Michael Bay for delicacy and grace; you go because Michael Bay (Armageddon, The Rock) knows how to make your bones rattle during a high-speed chase when a car flips over, spins through the air, and smacks another car with a visceral crunch. Bad Boys II fulfills this expectation and then some. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence may be mere puppets amid all this burning rubber and shrieking metal, but they actually provide a human core to the endless cascade of car wrecks and gunfights. Their easy rapport makes their personal problems--a running joke is Lawrence's attempts at anger management--as engaging as the sheer visual hullabaloo of bullets and explosions. The plot is recycled nonsense about drug lords and dead bodies being used to smuggle drugs, but orchestration of violence is symphonic. If that's your thing, then this is for you. --Bret Fetzer

 Bay! A Genius Emerges September 28, 2006
While I thought this movie was silly ... and the script was particulary ridiculous ... also the performances were competent but not transcendant ... and the whole identity confusion thing was unnecessary, but I guess when the script and story are so thin you have to find something to fill the 90 minutes. So yes, this movie is severely flawed and not worth anyone's time to see it, but (and it's a big but) you can see the genius of Michael Bay working his way through the film. Little things: the placement of a trash can, the bangles on Tea Leoni's wrist, the use of slow motion, when it doesn't seem called for. The rest of it is really intangible and I don't know whether he did this before or after that terrific Lionel Richie video he did, but there's a certain uncomprehensible quality that just screams ... Bay = Genius. So again, I would see this only if you consider yourself a Bayophile. Even then, you'll not like it, but you'll appreciate what Bay tried to do, even though everyone else let him down.
Put Your Money on the Bad Boys! November 6, 2005

The bad boy duo that you once witnessed took it there, and were back to take it there again. These thrillers are action packed from beginning to end. Bad Boys and Bad Boys II are must haves in every DVD collection.
In the premiering Bad Boys movie, detective Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) of the Miami Police Department partner up to take on a mission to retrieve 100 million dollars worth of missing cocaine and save the Narcotics Department from being shut down. When their jobs are on the line, a couple of murderers and a witness will only make them focus on putting their "bad boy" skills to work.
In the sequel, Bad Boys II, there is more action and a bigger crime to be investigated. Between the emotional and short fused personality of Marcus and the calm but aggressive behavior of Mike, negative issues in their partnership are on the rise. Issues hit a climax when Marcus is revealed a shocking secret about his sister Sydney, who works for the DEA, and Mike's affair. But not a bullet, some ecstasy pills, or a few crashed cars will stop these two detectives from fulfilling their prestigious bad boy reputation.
If you recall, when Bad Boys was released in 1995, Sony Productions made a total gross profit of $68,647,413. Bad Boys II opened in 2003 and made a total gross profit of $138,608,444. Director Michael Bay shot and hit the target of most American movie consumers. Both movies did very successful.
Some final words for all action seekers. If you have it, keep it. If you want it, go get it. If you've never seen it, rent it. Because once you watch it, you will not regret the purchase.

These two movies are very good movies that should be in everyone's collection. There's a wesome action, great comedy, and 2 just awesome movies. They both involve Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as cops who have to deal with crime. They work so well together and that makes the movie even more likeable. They're just a great duo. Both movies delivered great laughs and explosive and memorable action scenes.
But, I have to say that I loved the 2nd one and liked it a lot better than the original. The second one had great humor and some of the most awesome action scenes and chases ever! I mean, you have no idea what cool is if you didn't see Bad Boys 2.
There are big guns, and sweet cars( Ferrari Marrinello, Caddilac, Hummer H2) in beautiful locations. Believe me, the action, chases and humor are great.
The only downsider to me and the only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the language and some unnecessary scenes. But I mean the language is pervasive with a lot of F words being used. But besides that, it's great. The opening scene of Bad Boys II is awesome!
