Bad Boys for Life.
Well...unlike the latest "distant" sequels I've seen (Bill & Ted/Jay and Silent Bob) this one actually managed to feel connected to it's franchise...which honestly surprised me. Props to Will Smith for keeping his character the same...with how kind of family friendly he's been over the last decade this was actually a nice surprise that showed respect to the initial installments.
I didn't want to see it...I was pretty sure it would be horseshit...but it managed to be a decent (albeit explodey) action film with a nice balance of comedy sprinkled throughout. They didn't pull many stops on this one though...few things I really wasn't expecting.
It's competent, even though it felt a bit like spinoff bait.
If you liked the first 2, I don't see you being disappointed in this. Is it *as good*, maybe not, but close.
Bill & Ted Face the music.
Meh. Fuck off with this shit. 10 years ago was bordering on "too late" if you ask me...and the guys absolutely slept through their parts, with Teds daughter doing a better Ted than he was.
Just felt pointless.
The humour was gone.
...and I really don't need to see anything with Kristen Schaal in it ever again, let alone Rufus' daughter FFS...what an insult.
Felt a bit too much like a loose rehash of the first one as well.
Also found it a bit chauvanist...where the two main guys look like walking dogshit (you see why Keanu wears a beard now, his face is melting) yet they replace the princess actresses with chicks 10 or more years their junior.
What a fucking flop.
Never again.
