    Predictable But Fun
    I just got out of Bad Boys 4

    There are tons of jokes, loads of action (two brilliant set pieces) and overall, I enjoyed it.

    Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have amazing chemistry, they are so good together!! But it's Martin Lawrence who steals this movie, he gets almost all the laughs. There is a switch in the dynamic of their relationship. Not sure how I feel about it. It was great to have Joe Pantoliano back and it a decent sized role.

    Reggie, who is normally the butt of the joke, actually has a really good moment, that was one of my favourite parts of the movie.

    Interestingly, I think the best two action scenes, did not involve Will Smith or Martin Lawrence.

    It's not perfect as some of the jokes don't land, the bad guys were dull, I didn't feel any menace from them!! Some of the action was meh, the plots twists were predictable (I knew who the villain of the movie was, after their first scene) you never fall for any the red herrings, Venessa Hudgens isn't given much to do, after the third movie. Speaking of the third movie, I should have rewatched it, as I didn't know who a certain character was🙈

    I was disappointed Theresa Randell isn't back!! Boycott it EvanB

    If you didn't like part 3, you probably won't like this one. I'm sure lots will enjoy the heck out of it, too!!

    Pure popcorn entertainment
    Bad Boys: Ride or Die is pure popcorn entertainment- Adil & Bilall really come into their own with this one not as imitators of Michael Bay, but as successors. This is 90s Bayhem, without the Bay! Acrobatic drones, wild kinetics, and maximalist glee in their own flavor. The visuals are wild and creative, the action is ridiculous, and the comedy hits. It's a perfect summer tonic. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith still have it; they are such dynamically fun double acts! Their comedic timing and chemistry set this franchise apart from others (though it feels like it's becoming more Fast & Furious-esque). The film starts off rough, but Adil & Bilall's exhilarating direction and some top-notch action sequences ensure that it quickly gets better as it goes. At the end of the day, it's a popcorn movie; a real audience pleaser. It is an entertaining movie with a solid cast that doesn't do anything special but is still super fun.
