(1 - 38) of 38 OFCS Rating: 11% Rotten Page   1   3/10 "Full of misfiring humour, inappropriately sadistic violence, and paddle-pool shallowness."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 3/5 "a strange and semi-disturbing post-9/11 paramilitary fantasy"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti 1.5/4 "The laughs die down as bullets rip through people's necks."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger 2/4 "...an occasionally entertaining but ultimately overlong and bloated summer action movie."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1/4 "Every last bone in its body is hateful, offensive, and sickening."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 0/4 "Michael Bay’s latest jingoistic fetish film, Bad Boys II, could be the most vile creation to come out of Hollywood since Patch Adams."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez D- "An utterly crass, clueless exercise in noise just for noise's sake."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 0/4 "Seeing Bad Boys II at the critic's screening was like being in the audience watching Springtime for Hitler on opening night; a torrential downpour of horrific detestation, then laughter so thick at how insanely preposterous it all gets."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C "For the most part, it's 'close-up, close-up, explosion, bullet, crash, crash, close-up.'"   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 1.5/4 "...yet another brainless and boisterous formula that’s sure to make one’s hair curl on their arms. Bad Boys II is a vacuous vehicle that struts its stuff without any convincing ounce of concrete involvement whatsoever."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "'Bad Boys II,' which is nothing more than tired formula, pure and simple, feels longer than 'Pearl Harbor.' And it's got a lot more explosions and violence than that World War II picture, too."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 0.5/4 "Bad Boys II isn't just bad -- it's a catastrophic violation of every aspect of cinema that I as a film critic hold dear."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1.5/4 "The action is so consistently incoherent and mind-numbing that it wears you down to a pulp before the halfway mark."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 1/5 "Film's bombastic bad-boy Michael Bay mixes idiocy and pretension in a grotesque wreck of epic proportions."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/10 "The movie is one big raging pile of macho steam-blowing. Maybe the participants got something out of their systems, but the result just feels like hot air."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 34/100 "Even though I occasionally admired the film's hallucinogenic grandeur and bold scope, the majority of Bad Boys II feels like a bad trip."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 6/10 "... just enough escapism laughs and action to recommend to anyone who isn't drooling for Seabiscuit just yet."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2/5 "The Boys aren't what's bad - it's the movie."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3/4 "With apologies to Joe Carnahan, THIS is the movie that should be called 'Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane'!"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 1/5 "Longer, louder, stupider and more vulgar than 1995's Bad Boys."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/4 "It's big, loud, about half-an-hour to an hour overlong, and devoid of the things that make big, loud action flicks entertaining."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "He’s angry and he’s scared, this beastly filmic inner child of Bay’s, this Id with a camera and a bloated Hollywood budget, and it’s coming to a head if Bad Boys II is any indication."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Bad Boys II plays like one huge "f**k you" to [Bay's] critics by giving them all that they expect from him to the nth degree."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 0.5/4 "If there are movie theaters in Hell, Bad Boys II is certain to be a perpetual feature."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "The old-fashioned real-deal movie star charm of Will Smith can occasionally be glimpsed somewhere inside this cacaphony of car chases, shoot-em-ups, and explosions."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Bad Boys 2 não é apenas uma comédia policial excessivamente longa e nada engraçada; é, também, um filme que deixa evidente a terrível falta de caráter, humanidade e bom senso de seus realizadores."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca "This is a film that is so bad that it forces me to consider whether I might have been a bit hasty when I recently claimed that "Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle" was one of the worst things ever produced by man."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 2/5 "There's basically nothing to it at all, which is kind of clever since the film is two-and-a-half hours long (it feels like five episodes of a TV series)."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Despite its Hollywood trappings, Bad Boys 2 remains perhaps the summer's most refreshing action picture."   TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)   Rick Curnutte 1/5 "Hollywood psychopathology writ large."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "The fanboys are bound to enjoy it, though, with its action, action, action, bits of gruesomeness and sometime bawdy humor."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1/5 "What's most enlightening about Bad Boys 2 is this: you'll never see a better example of filmmakers' contempt for their audience."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 0.5/4 "A reptilian collage of seething that stands as possibly the most misanthropic, nihilistic, exploitative, hopeless film ever released as a mainstream blockbuster."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 4/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 2/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (1 - 38) of 38 OFCS Rating: 11% Rotten Page   1
