Default Bad Boys II... is it really this bad?

I don't mind violence or death in movies whatsoever. This review is making the movie out to be the end of the world as we know it. What I mean by bad is the movie itself, I could care less about body count etc. I'm sorry if there is already a thread on this but I found this review to be quite conservative and ridiculous and I haven't even seen the movie.

Let's see: Will "Wild Wild West" Smith, Martin "Big Momma's House" Lawrence, and Michael "Armageddon, Pearl Harbor" Bay.

What's not to like?

(Yeah, the Fresh Prince did Ali, too. And I liked The Rock in spite of its stupidity. But still...)

I saw the movie yesterday (unfortunately, I must say, since I lost $6 and 2 1/2 hours) and I concur with the review. In fact, I find this review accurate, albeit rather lenient. Although I tried to give the movie the benefit of a doubt, I still failed to find anything in it that would warrant its excesses, both in carnage and in length. IMO, any movie longer than two hours does need more than mediocre special effects, ridiculous characters, insubstantial "plot", and gore to justify its existence. The whole thing just exuded contempt at the audience.

Don't Hold Back .... How do you really Feel

Unfortunately I have to agree ... way to long and I would not have went except for some reason a certain female I know likes Wil Smith .... I still failed to find anything in it that would warrant its excesses, both in carnage and in length. I would add .... seemingly un-ending Non-funny sight gags .... Brainless (from the writers absolute lack of effort) Character Sterotypes ... CIA / Special Ops / Bigots / Hillside Shantys / Seemingly Blind to reality Mother / The overindulged adolscent Daughter ... shessh did they miss any ....
