| I wasn't expecting some serious melodrama about two black cops trying to stop an ecstasy dealer in Miami and through rough times, near death experiences, and some soul searching they not only get the bad guy, they find deeper meaning in their partnership and friendship. 'Cuz all that is crap. This movie is basically another attempt by Michael Bay to blow as much shit up as he can, make Will Smith cooler looking, Martin Lawrence funnier, and hot women HOTTER!! No matter what it does to the plot, script, character developments, and anything else that could have made this a better movie. It is a good popcorn movie though, and the combo of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is still good. Though some of the banter between the two in the "life threatening situations" got old: "Don't start with that shit, that's the shit I'm talking about, that's how you shoot. . ." It goes on and on. But there were some funny ass scenes including the camera store and the mortuary were some laugh out loud stuff. And Bay seemed to rip off some special effects from The Matrix, a coupla times. And there were some scenes that "payed homage" to some of his own past movies, The Rock for one. It's not a bad movie per se, but it could've been better if it was less Michael Bay. 7/10 |
