Film Review
Hi, my name is Darin Schenck and today I will be giving you my review of Bad Boys 2 starring Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, and Gabrielle Union. And also, you may not know this, but it was actually directed by Michael Bay who is best known for directing the Transformers movies. No offense to Transformers fans, but I'd definitely say that Bad Boys 2 is my favorite Michael Bay movie.Bad Boys 2 tells the story of two narcotics cops and one's DEA agent sister who tear up Miami trying to stop a Cuban drug kingpin. A lot of things happen as this plot unfolds, but it's not really that important. Unfortunately the plot is not this movie's strong point, but that doesn't stop the movie from being greatly entertaining. There is just one awesome action sequence after another and in between these sequences are some hilarious exchanges between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. This is what makes this movie great, when you're not at the edge of your seat during the action, you're probably rolling on the floor laughing, so by the time the movie is over, all you really care to know is that the bad guys lost and the bad boys won. Now it does run a bit long at two hours and twenty seven minutes, but I honestly didn't even notice it was that long until the movie was over because it captivating and entertaining.
So to sum up my review I'd say: great action sequences with hilarious comedy to hold you over until the next action sequence, and some of the action ends up being pretty funny too. It does run a little long and the plot was a little iffy, but I'm only barely holding it against them. I give Bad Boys 2 an A-. It is a definite must watch for action fans and anyone else for that matter, so go see it now. My name is Darin Schenck.
