I haven't been really excited about this one since the past Jerry Bruckheimer-Michael Bay tandems on films haven't turned out as well as they were advertised ("Armageddon", "Pearl Harbor", and even the first "Bad Boys"). So I wasn't really expecting anything much. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything at all.
"Bad Boys II" tries very hard to be a good action movie. It uses only enough story to tie together its action sequences and the whole 2 1/2 hours are too much and this only drags the inane story. The script and acting do nothing to help the story and its action sequences, supposed to be one of the movie's main attractions, are weak and bloated. Not even the chemistry of Lawrence and Smith can save the fatuous one of Bruckheimer and Bay.
In the final analysis, it's just another summer movie that tastes like salted popcorn. It tastes good while it lasts, but eventually you end up rather dry and thirsty.
