This sequel is as sour and jaded as they come.

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

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

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

... a nasty, mean-spirited movie.

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?

Epitomising everything that's wrong with modern Hollywood, Bad Boys II isn't simply bad, it's one of the worst films of the year.

Generic, loud and violent action; not for kids.

Sure, we can quibble about the bloodied body parts, the gluttony of bullets and gore, but who's gonna give a damn, when there's so much fun to be had?

Bombastic director Michael Bay oughta have his artistic license revoked.

Hollywood psychopathology writ large.

The movie is one big raging pile of macho steam-blowing. Maybe the participants got something out of their systems, but the result just feels like hot air.

Window to the Movies

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

Jerry Bruckheimer nous offre une fois de plus du cinéma fast-food très vide et irresponsable.

I'm going to get straight to the point on this one: Bad Boys 2 sucks.

Bad Boys II is indeed one bloated, loud, frenetic slice of all-around excess, but it's all in good summertime fun.

Film Threat

The film is able to use the two stars to relieve tension with quips and rejoinders, while not breaking its veneer of seriousness, or, at least, not breaking it too much.

Just when you think Hollywood movies can't get any worse, Bruckheimer and Bay outdo themselves for another exercise in pulverizing macho brutality

Bad Boys II' has all the elements of a great popcorn flick, but not even the wonderful chemistry between Smith and Lawrence can save the film from gore, a confusing plot, a long running time, and slow motion scenes of people looking cool.
