Bad Boys: Ride or Die

I will not deny that I found this movie somewhat entertaining. Maybe even fairly entertaining. This mostly comes from the action and a few entertaining humorous scenes splattered across the movie. However, it could have been so much better if the script had not been written by the usual bunch of low IQ Hollywood hacks. Most of the humor is just unintelligent and cringeworthy. Marcus Burnett is simply nonsensically silly most of the time. His feeding nonsense followed by this ridiculous “I am immortal” crap and rubbish dream scenes were not funny at all but rather dragged down the movie. The attempt to create drama by making Lowrey have psychotic episodes which ruined the mission and action on several occasions was also totally unnecessary in my opinion. The bad guy started off really good with the first scenes where the entire plot is set up. Then however, he just became your average Hollywood villain. The initial badass bad guy vibe was never developed. The script itself is a classical Hollywood action script. That is, it is simple, very predictable, unrealistic with lots of plot holes and really just a rehash of something done a million times. However, in this context, it was not bad. It was certainly good enough for this type of movie. This could have been a really good movie if the task of coming up with a script had just been given to someone with some actual talent. As it stands this is just a somewhat (maybe even fairly) entertaining Hollywood action movie.
