Bad Boys: Ride Or Die (2024) | Movie Review 

So apparently, I was wrong about Judy being the girl playing basketball in Bad Boys For Life. So I stand corrected on that. That was Callie. But here's the thing. Judy wasn't mentioned at all in any significant capacity in any of the other previous films. So can you blame me for getting things mixed up? There was no previous connection other than maybe the girl he was watching play basketball in the third movie. Plus they also screwed up that continuity too because she's clearly older in the last one that she is here. It's still a bad script. And with the random addition of U.S. Marshall Judy Howard who now is just being introduced fully in this film alone? It just makes that particular character and her part in this even worse. Now, the writers are pulling other characters kids out of their behinds that the audience should care about just because they are now in the film. So now there's Mike's new wife and Captain Howard's new daughter? Ugh. Armando is enough. And they handled that really well in the third movie. This is just lazy writing.

This movie should have been called Bad Boys 4 Life and the last one should have been called Ride or Die. Definitely a missed opportunity.

I enjoyed this movie, but Bad Boys for Life was definitely better IMO. The first movie is still my favorite but after rewatching it again I just love the father/son aspect of that movie which gave Mike a lot of interesting character development. I also think the action sequences were much better in that movie too as well as the villain, but I can't say I didn't have fun with this movie. The Reggie sequence and the finale with the gators was definitely the best part of this movie and Will Smith/Martin Lawrence still have great chemistry but I wish we could go back to the grittiness of the first movie again.

If we wanna make a better Bad Boys Sequel, have the 5th movie be the final of the series, wrap up everything and even wrap up that cliffhanger ending of the cancelled spin-off series "LA's Finest." Bring Syd back, team up with Mike and Marcus again to find out who tried to kill Syd, maybe bring Jessica Alba who's Syd's partner from "LA's Finest" in the 5th movie. Like, some bad guy tried to kill Gabrielle and Jessica's characters, they both go to Miami and team up with Mike and Marcus, but they also get involved accidentally.

I enjoyed it but it kinda felt a bit disappointing. I wish the villain was more three dimensional and Fletcher wasn’t killed off. I had more of a fun time watching BB4L in the theaters than this. Good review, Mike.

Honestly, how some people personally thought of John Wick 4 last year was what I thought of this movie. Almost felt way too fast and furious with the action, Marcus was heavily ruined in this movie by making him too much of a junk food addict that whines about getting a black jelly bean or no chips in his house,Ioan Grufford was too much of a goof villain and the villains plan is shitty as since they are framing a dead guy, they would probably get exposed quick. The clearly ran out of ideas at this rate, I give it a 4/10

I only saw the first 3 films (the first 2 films on DVD and the third film in theatres). I never saw the 4th film. I was going to see it around Father's Day weekend, but my dad didn't want to because he couldn't look at Will Smith the same way again after the slapping incident (despite it was 2 years ago). Now after I heard Ride or Die is not as good as the first 3 films, now I'm having second thoughts. I would probably rent it if it hits on Amazon Prime.

I liked it I seen it twice in theaters. I do feel they dropped the ball..with not taking full advantage of them being on the run, and not giving armsndo more bad ass scenes. He should of had like 3 bad ass scenes. I hsve way more critiques, but those are my main two. Yeah fletcher being a tech guy in the first two. I thought in this one. He would be helping ammo do something. Or something to that nature. I hope they get it right in bad boys 5. The writers and the directors. I think will and martin still have great vhemistry. What fucked it up is that. They didnt adlip their jokes as much as the other films. They basically let the writers write the jokes, and thry arent comedians nor good writers. I think one of the writers is a new writer. That thry happened to give a chance. Smh

I thougbt this movie was fun as hell. I thought martin was on his A game and Will Smith was As usual solid. But to each their own.

This is my 2nd fav after Ride or Die. Actually Callie from the last movie is his granddaughter. His daughter wasn't in the last movie. His daughter's name is Judy. Two separate people. Don't think Judy was in the last one. I haven't seen it in four years. They should all team up in the next movie. All four of them.

Great job on the review.

They rode hard and got put away wet.

I liked this movie some of the humor was just a little to silly I didn't like it as much as the 3rd one

Yeah it’s my least favorite and weakest entry in the series BUT I still highly enjoyed it. Bad boys is a strong franchise in my book especially the third one coming almost 20 years later. And I disagree with your sad boys rant song at the end. A 5th film isn’t needed I agree but Will and Martin look good for their age and are still believable in these roles.

Sorry the film proved to be disappointing to you Mike but at least you didn't hate it. For myself I enjoyed it, really enjoyed the climax given the alligators. :D

Do you think the 1995 first is the best.

BB 4 was boring as hell. Axel F was actually pretty decent tho. That just dropped today on Netflix.

Yeah that I just saw at theater, definitely so boring and lame fourth one is really lame annoying, no piece of lot of action felt like so lazy storyline, I felt sleeping at theater, because it is sequel not really unfunny and one of the worst sequel franchise, started off will and martin he got drunk something unlike previous one, I do love it last one third film have something issue and because more action than this garbage lame boring sequence.

worse film of the year. it makes Bad Boys 3 look like a classic.

Worst in the series
