![]() ![]() Miyagi ("No fighting, no fighting, no fighting.ok, go ahead and fight") and predictably went back into action again. Of course, Lawrence broke his promise to God at the end anyway because he did the Mr. It seemed unlikely than a rather non-religious, non-churchgoer like Lawrence would be risking losing his friendship (and his friend's life because he was in danger) based on some mumbling he did while that buddy was in the hospital. #Bad boys for life movie#I think he took the Cypress Hill lyric "Fat boy on diet, don't try it" to extremes! At one point when Lawrence was walking away on a wooden floor, It sounded like an orchestra of squeaky nails and groaning floorboards playing him out of the room! Back to the "plot".Lawrence whines throughout the movie about a promise he made to God. And, wow, Martin Lawrence.at one point on set, the crew thought they were going to have call the paramedics because Lawrence was having trouble inhaling - a pizza! He's so fat now, he jumped in the air for an action scene and got stuck! I'm serious.on the running/action scenes, you won't see Lawrence for more than 5 seconds straight, most likely due to being out of breath. It was really that pathetically predictable. Will Smith gets badly shot 10 minutes into the movie.is he gonna make it through?!?! Aw, man, no way.he made it! You don't say! Martin Lawrence."No, no no, I'm not helping you any more Mike Lowery.I made a promise to God.No, no, no.I'm retired" - I looked over at my buddy at one point and I said "Uh.I think he's gonna help". I can't think of a worse movie I've ever seen. Instead its more like Beverly Hills Cop III and becomes a sad entry in an otherwise solid franchise. This could have been like Lethal Weapon IV and had some fun with its theme of the loose cannon dealing with aging. While some praise the visuals, I criticize its effect of pushing the viewer further away rather than drawing them in. It feels more like you're watching somebody else play a video game. ![]() Modern day use of CGI and such does the exact opposite. The great Sam Peckinpah once said of the violence in his films that he wanted the audience to feel the impact of getting shot. Here they just sound like an old married couple who have grown tired of each other. The laughs from the first two movies came from the strong chemistry between the two leads and how they could argue in the middle of gun fights, car chases, etc. The biggest casualty is the riffing between the Lawrence and Smith, which practically rips the soul right out of the franchise. Maybe the earlier entries hold something dear to his heart and he wouldn't have allowed this to go off the rails. I never thought I would say this.but I wish Michael Bay had directed this. If you have to milk these franchises, at least give him the directing spot so I can enjoy his slow-mo, non-CGI explosions, women objectification and American flags. I never thought I'd say this, but damn I miss 90ties Michael Bay. Thanks for Michael Bay cameo though, and I guess the credit scene had Jerry Bruckheimer in it for some reason? Probably an inside joke. The story makes zero sense and the ending is incredibly stupid and anticlimactic. The humor was cringe-worthy, the action wasn't even that good (and poorly shot), the whole film looks like a rap video. ![]() Another Sony "masterpiece" with a generic script based on a revenge plot. I mean, I don't have to tell you, you know what it is. #Bad boys for life windows#Ah, yeah, write a couple of scenes to shill our phones and other merch, Windows tablets, you know.Tech, drones, tHe InTeRnEt.why are you asking me?.Don't forget to do that reboot thingy, write in what is popular right now? We have this old one from Lethal Weapon 4? Grandchildren, retirement, you know.Time to milk some more old franchises. ![]()
