after catch glimpse of bad boy for several time on tv i finally decide to watch the whole thing intact . but after do that i find myself puzzle . for what reason be bad boy so highly regard a a great action movie . in my desperate attempt at try to grasp any form of entertainment from this feature i finally come to the realization that it impossible for me to like it . much to some people surprise i find the film style to be a shallow and incompetent imitation of john woo ultra kinetic hong kong film . everything that bad boy do have be already make and only much much good . so what be bad boy all about . well and uh and it about will smith run around in slow motion while talk a lot and and yeah there this other guy martin lawrence who also talk a lot . theyre cop and they be the bad boy who talk their mouth off and run their leg off and shoot their gun off . naturally michael bay do all that in slow motion and because that what action movie be all about you know and slow motion . oh and do i forget to mention that there be a generic bad guy and not bad a the two titular anti hero mind you . this character and he your basic action movie villain who be obviously evil for the sake of be evil . and of course be the person who our two brave bad boy must defeat in an epic slow motion battle to the death fill with over the top explosion and one liner and car chase all directly take from the generic action movie clichés handbook . bad boy overly simple plot exists for the sole purpose of provide u with enough reason to watch the series of action sequence the movie make of . that wouldn not have hurt all too much have these scene be direct capably and yet bay demonstrate an inept ability to create an entertaining action piece . all such sequence be bleak and devoid of originality and stuffed with slow motion and randomly use and make less sense a to why it be add . the usual reason would be to enhance certain dramatic moment in a movie and or for stylistic approach during complex action scene . see a the first one be impossible to integrate here and the second be just not direct with any understanding of detail what we be leave be an approximately 40 minute of slow motion that do it job in extend bad boy into a near two hour length . make this already boring film into an test of will . more than once i be tempt to turn off my tv and stop wasting time with the predictability on screen and fighting of the urge to laugh it all off in denial . i be not actually sure there anything more to say about bad boy . it such a sub par movie that it action become forgettable soon after view and leave only the flaw to remind me why i should never watch anything stamp with the sign hollywood action movie . then again it not such a big surprise why so many people like it . it crude visuals could prove to be impressive enough for people not a familiar with the genre a the more hardcore fan . then again i do not count myself amongst genre fan so it anybody guess why it appeal so much to audience .
