Bad Boys: Movie Review
Bad Boys 2

An all-time favourite of mine is Bad Boys. Will Smith has always been one of my favourite crucial characters and my reasons for this opinion are echoed though his performance in the two Bad Boy films. Bad boys I set a baffling precedent after 128 million dollar earning from Hollywood alone. Can the second one beat it?

Detective Mike Lowrey played by Will Smith and Detective Marcus Burnette played by Martin Lawrence team up again since 1995 for the development - Bad Boys II. Both Detectives are partners in the TNT. They are assigned to a job where a Spaniard, Johnny Tapia played by Jordi Molla is smuggling drugs and a Russian controls the sharing and owns almost every nightclub in town. Together they run the largest ecstasy import business in Miami. Burnette's sister, Syd, is assigned to the same case as Lowrey and her brother. The police are having trouble hunting down evidence to convict Tapia resulting in Syd having to go undercover for five months, almost killing herself in a car chase, while Smith proves that he can drive and shoot at the same time and Lawrence checks to see how effective it is to shoot inside the vehicle rather than out. The peak of the movie is reached when there is a major shoot out in Cuba.

Compared to the first Bad Boys movie this one for me definitely leaves its predecessor in the shadows after a long waited eight years. Nothing in this film is done in moderation...there's at least one million bullets fired in one scene alone! The degree to which the director Mark Hughes has gone to make this film energetic is certainly obvious from the first scene alone, where a heart pumping ambush on the "kkk" is staged by the TNT. Straight away tension, uncertainty and most importantly entertainment is thrown in to viewer’s faces as the pair Will Smith and Martin Lawrence prepare to put in a memorable comedic feat. The motorway car chase is a merging scene of Matrix Reloaded and Terminator 3 put together, this without fail leaves

    I have an odd relationship with this film, it entertained me from start to finish, and at no point did it drag or feel grueling. Some might chock that up to good pacing, but I’d chock it up to lots and lots of brainless and inconsequential explosions. Let me be honest with you for a second, I secretly enjoy a lot of films because I know they’re bad, but that doesn’t make them any less enjoyable. This film is going to fit nicely into that collection of films I liked more than my brain tells me I should have. A lot of people are going to…

    There has always been a debate over which movie if the best of all of film history. From the early days of black and white silent movies to the beginning of the first colored talkies, and finally to the modern day action packed, CGD filled, Michael Bay directed "eye candy" they called movies, movie reviewers and fans alike have debated the best movie of all time. From Casablanca to Citizen Kane, to the Godfather, to The Shawshank Redemption, and more recently to Boyhood, people have claimed that these movies were the best of all time; however, unless the movie that they're talking about is Mad Max Fury Road, then they are clearly mistaken and, to put it more blatantly, wrong. Mad Max Fury Road (as you probably are aware of by now) is the…

    Afrika Bambaataa, Fab 5 Freddy, Frosty Freeze, Kool Herc, and numerous other relevant hip-hop connoisseurs explore the culture of hip-hop, specifically by breaking down how B-Boys and B-Girls pioneered and shaped the hip-hop culture known today. While this documentary, interview-styled film had limited information to share about other aspects of hip-hop, it gave a wide variety of facts and details of B-Boying, or ‘break-dancing’, which is considered to be one of the key elements. Overall, this film did not incorporate an encompassing description of the four main elements that created ‘hip-hop’ (DJ-ing, MC-ing, graffiti, and B-Boying), but it did create a solid foundation of understanding for one of the four as well as provide relevant insight…

    The Book Bad Boys

    • 1324 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In the book Bad Boys, Ann Arnett Feruson originally sets out to look at how institutions create and preserve a sort of racial order, and also how the idea of what race is influences how people view themselves as individuals and as part of a larger community. This leads her into a more specific topic, and a close look at young black males in the education system. What she finds is that black boys are looked at differently than boys in general, and they often looked upon in a negative manner. Teachers treat them differently, and are quicker to punish them for things. This is partially due to the concept of adultification. Rather than looking at actions as childish or naïve, the teachers look at the boys as “adults.” They assume that the misbehavior is intentional and that the children are fully aware of their actions.…

    Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy (2004) tells the story of an underground government agency dedicated to hunting down paranormal threats to Earth. The team is helmed by Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and Abe (Doug Jones), two paranormal creatures with their own unique pasts. Hellboy (complete with demon horns) must hunt down a Robot Nazi villain in order to protect Earth from an ancient evil force. Director Guillermo Del Toro puts his visual mark on the film with his unique aesthetics, while the cinematography is, at times, stylistic and comic book-esque. The film’s weaknesses are more apparent in the writing, over-the-top acting, and noticeable archetypal casting.…
