Although director Michael Bay is dangerously close to becoming a caricature of himself, his showy, flashy direction somehow helps BAD BOYS II to be a good, if overlong, film. It's pretty much a clichéd action movie, with an age-old plot, yet revamped with outrageous flashy camera-work, non-stop cutting and editing, and a style of filming which is completely OTT in every respect. The bare-bones story sees cops Smith and Lawrence returning to battle a Cuban drug lord, and getting involved in plenty of shoot-outs and battles throughout. Smith and Lawrence fast-talk their way through a vulgar script peppered with hit-and-miss gags and acquaint themselves well with the action scenario. Said action is often spectacular, ranging from super-fire shoot-outs to an amazing car chase involving a car transporter – excellent special effects make this one to watch.Some may be put off by the ghoulish streak of black comedy running throughout the movie, which peaks as the boys chase a morgue wagon across town, with bodies flying out of the back and disintegrating. For a 15 certificate, this movie has more than its fair share of blood, guts and mayhem, so most action lovers will find themselves at home here. On the downside, it is headache-inducing, what with all the incessant music, and it does outstay its welcome long before the end credits roll. But generally this is solid B-movie fare which just happens to have an AAA budget.

Action speaks louder than words! And as its the case with Bay, his films seem to follow the same principle. I am not a Michael Bay fan, but Bad Boys 2 is my favourite Bayhem film (Pain and Gain being the number two). Bay is known not for his storytelling, but for 'action-sense' or 'Bayhem' .. and Bad Boys 2 proves that he is one of the best in the business.The film follows the story of two partner cops who are on a trail of drug traffickers in Miami. From Will Smith, to Martin Lawrence and Peter Stormare, this film has got stock of great actors, but again, this film is not much about acting.Bad Boys 2 delivers some of the best shot action sequence till date. Amir Mokri (DOP) is magical with his work. Every gunshot and explosion seems right in your face, along with what can be called THE best car chase in the history of action films. Technically, Bad Boys 2 was way ahead of its time. Some might disagree but I miss this kind of production in today's age. Hence, Bad Boys 2 is like a bookmark for me in my movie watching timeline.Conclusion: Don't miss this film, if you are an action film buff! And if you have already seen this movie, you know what I am talking about."WOOOOSSAAA!"

The titular pair head up a task force investigating the flow of ecstasy into Miami. Their search leads to a dangerous kingpin, whose plan to control the city's drug traffic has touched off an underground war. Meanwhile, things get a little heated between Mike and Syd, Marcus's sister, which causes a little hostility between the two, and lots of explosions......When this film first came out eleven years ago I thought it was wonderful, loud, and very exciting. But back then, I was 26, and in the demographic for Bay's type of movie.Seeing it again now, it still has some great elements to it, the car chase with the boat explosion is still a thrilling piece of cinema, and the scenes with Marcus under the influence of Ecstasy, and the scene with Mikes daughter's date are still laugh out loud, but there are so many flaws to the movie.Firstly, its way, way too long, by a good forty five minutes, and no matter how many flashy edits, or speeding cars you have, there is a lot of pointless drivel in this movie, and most of it is sexist, and xenophobic humour, that you get in his films now.Still, Smith and Lawrence are great together, and they are clearly enjoying themselves.But just way too long and sexist.

I've seen Bad Boys II on TV. Some genius thought he/she had a great idea and offered us a Michael Bay double feature in the wake of the premier of Transformers: Age of Extinction. So, one of the movies has been Bad Boys II.For the reasons i don't want to go into here, i was stuck in a room with a TV set and saw both of those movie. Actually, i've treated the TV set as a moving picture hanging on the wall and devoted my time to more useful things.Bad Boys II starts with police busting a KKK gathering where Will Smith has the honor of personally knocking out a couple of participants. This might have been supposed to be a political message, i assume. And it all goes downhill after that. If you're into action movies, this is the one for you.Apart from the special effects, there is a small detail about Bad Boys II that was good. I introduced the phrase woosah-woosah-woosaah to my vocabulary.
