Review:
A guilty selection on Netflix, as I love the original film and am a sucker for the nostalgia that was Martin and Fresh Prince coming together, I didn't dislike this film. Turned off by some of the sequels, I was willing to give this a try on a day home from work. And you know what? I don't regret it.
Bad Boys Ride or Die wasn't bad. In fact, once the credits scrolled, I was entertained and didn't have any ill feelings towards it. The characters of Mike Lowrey and Marcus Bennett are clearly past their prime, but they acknowledge their age and wear and tear as part of the film. As any good action franchise should. In some ways, they've even evolved a bit.
The action shots were well done and enough to hide so many other areas of the film. Visually, the film was appealing, and there was enough comedy, mainly from Marcus Bennett, played by Martin Lawrence, to keep things light and entertaining
It won't shake up the world, and I'm not expecting it to like the original did. I honestly would be interested in another, as they did a decent job of adding some new characters to the franchise, which could add a bit more life to the series.
Grade: 3/5
