BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE

5/10 for me - Way, way, WAY better than 3, kind of level with 2 maybe but still not a patch on 1 for me. I liked the role swap between the pair as Smith is now the "neurotic" one and Lawrence is the "cool in action" one, Reggie got a really nice cameo/callback, the humour was a little hit/miss with Lawrence having to do most of the comedy heavy lifting and the story was mostly "the plot needs it to happen no matter how silly it is because we can't think of another way to make this work" but it was an OK use of a few hours of my life.

The cinema however sucks donkey parts, absolute shocker with people happily texting on phones, and a couple having a heated argument about where to eat afterwards :(

First 15-20 minutes were rubbish. Didn't like the whole dream saw the future/past/emlightenment etc stuff. Just wasn't very funny (even the post credit scene was related to it!)

The rest of the film, pretty good fun. Reggie gets to go God Mode. Martin Lawrence still very funny. Great action scenes.
Too many drone camera shots. Enough to make you dizzy. Will Smith didn't seem to put in 100%. Probably refers back to the previous films too much. No problem for me, as i've seen them all multiple times. But its more of a sequel to Bad Boys 3 than I expected.

7/10
