I’ve Finally Watched…is back again with my review of Bad Boys For Life.

I wanted to see this in theatre but…yeah, Covid. So, I just watched it. In the beginning, I didn’t feel an immediate connection to the film. I heard a lot of words and some action but I was worried this movie wasn’t going to be as epic as I’ve heard. Mike is shot, Marcus was being religious, and everything seemed disjointed. I suppose that may have been done on purpose.

It wasn’t until the Bad Boys became Bad Boys again that the movie picked up. Lawd…laughs, explosions, and mayhem. Mike is targeted because his past has come back to bite him in the ass. Yes, and it is epic. It starts out slow but when it picks up…YAASSSSS.

The bad guy is uber cute and ass kicking bad. He was a force to reckon with and at times I thought, how the hell are our Bad Boys gonna deal with this dude. They supermaned the heck out of homeboy.

The new police team “assist”…eh. Their impact was minimal and I found myself asking where the tech savy badasses were during a few important scenes when Mike and Marcus could have used them. I will say I felt the “romance” interest for Mike felt forced and she kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Not sure why.

The plot is basic revenge and if you are like me, you will have two key mini plots figured before they’re revealed but it was awesome watching it all play out. I suspect from the end scene that they’ve set up a option to continue the Bad Boy Legacy and I hope they do. If you haven’t seen this one…please watch it.

Look of the film: 5
Plot: 4.5
Character Development: 5
Overall Movie: 4…because of the slow start.
