Bad Boys

Fans of a pre-Terminator Bay are gonna love it, and I can see where it succeeds, but personally _Bad Boys_ makes me kinda uncomfortable.

_Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._

IDK, I really was never a big Bay fan, but I always sort of liked Will Smith, and Lawrence I only really knew from Def Comedy Jam so I was sort of 50/50 going in...

... but it was 90s Will Smith, when he was nothing but fun, so I went to go see it anyway.

And the brilliant thing is that it stands alone as a decent action/comedy, so all said and done it was already a pretty good film that hearkened back to the 80s buddy cop movies everyone loves. But then it manages to peck, and mock, and spoof Miami Vice in pretty subtle ways through the film and it manages to do it without being a blatant Scary Movie style stupid spoof. It does it in a way that it can get it's digs in and still stand on it's own as a film, so as far as I'm concerned that makes it pretty north of brilliant.

Really funny, and action packed. One of my favorite movies of all time.
