Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics

This sequel is as sour and jaded as they come. full review

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

Bad Boys II, which reunites Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as Miami narcotics agents, resembles a full-length promo for itself. full review

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine

Bad Boys 2 plays like a flashy highlight reel from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. full review

Jon Caramanica, Village Voice

... a nasty, mean-spirited movie. full review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Necrophilia, explosions, destroyed motor vehicles, gratuitous T&A and Martin Lawrence and Will Smith doing their lame Abbott-and -Costello act. What's not to hate? full review

Charles Taylor, Salon.com

Just like Bad Boys, only louder, longer and the stars get paid more. full review

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Might be considered three action sequences and four comedy routines in search of a story. full review

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

Hulk plays like Three Sisters in comparison; T-3 is a talky thinkfest and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle a model of restraint. full review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Very funny at times, maudlin at others and excruciatingly violent throughout, Bad Boys II -- director Michael Bay's latest festival of exploding cars and shaking cameras -- is, at 147 long minutes, just too much of a mediocre thing. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

This film, whose nonplot seems to be motivated by a contempt for humanity, takes violence and turns it into a new form of pornography. full review

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

Despite some awesomely choreographed stunts and the two stars' pedal-to -the-metal appeal, the movie seems endless.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Bad Boys II just goes on and on, with more dazzling camera work, more 'funny' murders and executions by the bad guys and the good guys and judiciously used profanity and the occasional 'N' word for comic effect.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

The perverse feat of Bad Boys II is that it's formulaic enough to serve as a format-compatible sequel to half the cop buddy capers ever made. full review

Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger

A brutal, 2 1/2-hour display of production overkill. full review

Jami Bernard, New York Daily News

The latest collaboration between director Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, two filmmakers who bring out the worst in each other, is just as bloated and fatuous as their previous efforts. full review

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

A mind-boggling, nerve-numbing, adrenaline-pumping combination of shock-and-awe brilliance and idiocy. full review

Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

Everybody involved in this project needs to do some community service. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

BBII ripples and rumbles with remarkable stunts. full review

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle

In some eyes, this is a movie; in others, it's a weapon of mass destruction. full review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

It is the loudest, crassest, fastest, most destructive, biggest and dumbest.
