  • Great review! I really enjoyed hearing about the history of Bad Boys and how you brought it all together with this new film. Excellent!😇
  • @r2bchic815
    Bad Boys 2 is without a doubt the BEST film of the installment… but we’ll see what the random ride or die one is about
  • @DosesOfZia
    This movie was really good to be 30 years into the franchise. Will Smith forever!! 🤗
  • @nardinadeleon
    Saw Bad Boys Ride or Die last night and it was A BLAST. The storytelling was excellent, the direction and the character development was just awesome. We really enjoyed the entire experience and our theater was clapping and cheering and just having a good time together. I would see it again. Bad Boys 2 is my favorite and this one comes in close second for me. Then Bad Boys, then For Life 👍🏽
  • @RedisNotaFlavor
    i appreciate the history run down of the bad boys franchise.
  • @karencab9
    Just saw it today and it delivered! Agree with will your points. A Bad boys fan here, too! Had the same feel the 1st one. Truly enjoyed it!
  • @tshidig
    Ah, man, I'm re-watching Bad Boys For Life after this review. The stats on the movie's history, the box office trajectory of the franchisre, and the dramatic moments of each film that you gave here were really fantastic. You spit research out like you do it in your sleep! Bad Boys deserves its credit as a blockbuster franchise. I think this latest one is more about nostalgia than the numbers, I have a feeling it'll do just fine. We didn't mind the muscles debut either😎
  • my bad boys rakings, from loved the most to least 2,4,3,1 loved the all though
  • @abbient
    I agree!!! I loved Martin better in BB4 than he was in 2&3, and I’m grateful for the choice to make him more fearless again… This was such a fun watch!, not as much frufru and lots of fun action and great action shots (especially towards the end). Plus “Baby Mike” is fine so that doesn’t hurt 🤭🤭 I can’t rank them, but I have rewatched 2 more than the rest (I was low key waiting for Syd to pop up). But now I will watch 3 and 4*. BB4 is fuuuun!
  • @ROBERTDAVis2271
    I low key thought nobody liked the 3rd movie too so when i heard a 4th movie was out i was shocked.... Waiting on a new Friday movie lol
  • @idntcare159357
    I watched it on vacation in Dubai and everyone was LAUGHING. Really enjoyed it 😅
  • @TC-fq7pb
    I agree that’s a terrible BBII rating. Absolutely, hands down, one of my favorite movies! ❤
  • @lauraaliaga1898
    I'm kind of torn because while BB2 is my favorite one, I can admit that BB1 is probably the better movie. It's the same thing as Temple of Doom and Last Crusade. Doom is my fave, but obviously Crusade is better. But BB1 and BB2 are such different films that I almost can't compare them! They're both great, there's no wrong answer here
  • @messii648
    We Need bad boys in a winter season for bad boys 5 finale! And reggie and Armando showbizen the fighting skills
  • @tannamoorer6119
    My daughter prescreened it and loved it but had to get Tait's take!
  • I loved Bad Boys and my favorite was the 2nd one. I never saw the 3rd one. My rankings are: 1) Bad Boys 2 2) Bad Boys 3) Bad Boys Ride of Die (4th, that I haven't seen YET), and 4) Bad Boys for Life (3rd that I never saw 🤭). For the other rankings of the first movies in franchises, I choose based on how many times I voluntarily watch them. So #1 is Bad Boys. #2 is Rush Hour. #3 is Beverly Hills Cop. I recently watched BHC again and it was good, but I don't "love" it the way I do the other two movies. Definitely going to see Bad Boys Ride or Die tomorrow. If I can, I'll look up the 3rd one and finally watch it prior to going. Both you and Th3Birdman said this 4th one was great, so that's enough for me to know I'll love it!! As for Marty Mar's health, not only is he 60 now, but he had a stroke a few years back and the vast majority of people never fully recover from a stroke. He is still THE Martin Lawrence so he gets full respect and honor from me. As does Will Smith! 🤗✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 That clip at the end of y'all butchering the Bad Boys song is HILARIOUS!!!!! 🤣😂😅🤣😆😅🤣
