Bad Boys For Life - Official Trailer
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
Fucking hell, some of the comments in here are disgusting. Who cares if a man in his mid-50's isn't as fit as he was 16 and 24 years ago?!
That's true I guess I still look at that period (Jan. specifically) as a dead period, I know Black Panther did gangbusters though in Feb.
Michael Bay is, let's say controversial, but his visual direction was a major reason why these movies worked. Without him the concept seems ordinary and flat.
While it's not Bay, I think they did a decent job of emulating the look and style. It does seem a little smaller in scale of a movie compared to the last? 2 was huge over the top action film so it had so many insane huge set pieces of action, this kinda seemed a little mundane when you kinda expect them to try to top 3
Pretty bad? It looks cheap, and way too bright.
The contrast is also fucked.
This looks like a Bad Boys TV show.
I take that back, L.A.'s Finest looks better.
Yeah thats my take as well, like damn, for so many people in the thread the only takeaway from that trailer is Martin's physique.
Bad Boys 2 is still the greatest action film ever made.
I realized this when they were throwing bodies out of a truck at someone chasing them.
It was cemented when they had the trope of fist fighting in a mine field.

The star of these movies was never Smith or Lawrence, but a saturated exaggerated vision of south Florida, the Keys, and especially Miami. If you took the city in GTA: Vice City and made the city an ultra violent caricature of itself you'd have Bay's portrayal of unhindered excess encapsulated in a place. The appeal of these films has very little to do with the duo of characters who are nothing but an audience vehicle into a bigger world. It's exactly the same way that detectives in procedural crime dramas operate like Columbo and his Californian elites. The setting is the star, and I dont think this trailer gets that.
I mean, it's a January action movie with Will Smith. I don't think they're expecting this to exactly be a billion dollar movie.
But it could be a decent nostalgia kick, so I'll probably end up seeing it. Even though that trailer was a bit rough. (Except for Joe Pantoliano...BRING HIM BACK FOR MATRIX 4, TOO!)

Should have used the original bad boys song. Remix sucked.
It looks like bad boys, but there's just something missing that I can't put my finger on.
I will be there day one but Bay really should have directed this

Some of the shots with old pillars and collapsing stairwells, feels randomly like cutting in Uncharted
Oh shit, retiring? Please don't die!
Also, I hope none of the stunts are CGI. We need that Michael Bay touch.

Disappointed that Michael Bay is not involved but hey I'll take another bad Boys movie anyday. Love will smith and Martin when they are on screen together.
Hope this still has the set pieces and actions as good as the second one. Bad boys two still one of my favourite movies of all time.

i dont get the point of this without bay. i mean this looks dull as fuck, and smith and martin can only carry it so far, and in this day and age with FF, i thought this would go NUCKING FUTS and throw logic completely out the window and have them drive cars up buildings and shit but this looks like an even lower budget bad boys 1.
