Unnecessarily over the top action, too much macho man bullshit, and annoying editing; yeah this is a Michael Bay movie. I liked Martin Lawrence and Will Smith's chemistry but everything else is too much.

When watching Bad Boys again lately I thought it less funny than I had in mind from seeing the flick at the cinema when it was released. There is "that certain something" missing. But it's entertaining none the less!

I’m pretty sure that this movie served as an inspiration for many of the GTA games, especially when you look at the yellow and orange soaked hues of everything that takes place during the day. That’s pretty much the biggest compliment I can give this film, because the directing and editing are shit, the comedy is godawful, the music is obnoxious, the acting sucks, the racial stereotyping is annoying and unfunny, and everything is really predictable and cliche. In short: it’s full of Michael Bay’s lowbrow, overly commercial and at times pornographic sensibilities. 3/10

Bad Boys is one of the best Michael Bay movies. Due to a great score, fine over the top Bay action, good chemistry between the three leads. As well as the film actually having a plot. More of a plot than most Bay movies anyway. Lawrence pretending to be the Will Smith character. Is quite fun and funny. Though maybe that would have been better left for a sequel. After we got to know the characters better. This is one of my favorite 90’s action films and buddy cop films.

The only reason I give this 2 stars is that I've watched Bad boys 2 and it's worse.
