I see a lot of the Negative reviews for this film seem to miss the point of a Popcorn film. Popcorn flicks are 9 times out of 10 cookie cutter scripts that serve one purpose, to let your forget your troubles for 2 hours and enjoy things being blown up or shootouts occurring that you would never see in normal day to day live.
Did people forget that the average day for a cop is pretty much boring? They are not chasing down international drug dealers everyday where they have one assassin who is the best trained and can take out an entire squad on their own?
Did people forget that most police officers, even narcos do not have the swagger and personality of Mike Lowery but are more like a Marcus Barnett (Married Kids, trying to have a peaceful existence)
If you walked into Bad Boys 4 Life expecting anymore than what was promised via the previous 2 films you set yourself up for failure.
Bad Boys 4 Life, even under new directors, still entertains and has some great laughs because it never set out to be an Oscar Contender, it was made for the exact same audience as a Fast & Furious movie and the expectations to be that were met from start to finish.
One thing BB4L did accomplish significantly is that it shows neither Will nor Martin have lost their comedic touch and make us remember why we enjoyed the 1st two films as much as we did.
Also, BB4L is a natural progression of getting older, living off the Lethal Weapon Mantra that we're not too old for this stuff, and it is true, while Will and Martin are in their 50's and one is definitely ready for greener pastures they still delivered.
So stop trying to act like every film needs to be Oscar Worthy, they don't. They need to accomplish one thing... Be Entertaining, and BB4L delivered!
Marcus and Mike are back.
