Good fun and a decent end to the trilogy.

I must also be getting old as I quite liked the Porsche!

Saw it on Friday. Very good i thought. Few laugh out loud moments. Predictable at times, but still good!

I like the fact that it was a generic action movie that wasn't trying to be anything else.. nothing fancy, just an old school shoot them up. That's worth some merit nowadays amongst all the dross.

Saw it Saturday post football, was better than the football and enjoyed it. Liked they dropped in the strong women characters without making a big deal out it, just joining in the st kicking / shooting etc.

Watched it at the weekend. Really enjoyed it, about what I was expecting. Better than 2, not as good as 1. Liked the references back to the other films, especially using cues from the original Mark Mancinia soundtrack.

Shame the other computer nerd from 1 and 2 wasnt in it.

Script was a little bit all over the place and the whole story line felt a bit rushed but that's a minor criticism. Also felt like the jokes took a while to start flowing but once they did it was funny.

Porsche was nice. I watched it in Isense which is like IMAX mini, bigger screen and the sound turned up to 11. Opening car scene was amazing.

Had a strange mix of graphic violence and comedy. The first is moderately violent and funny, 2 is funny with a load of comic book violence and this one was very violent and funny, but also quite dark in places.

8.5/10 for me.

Oh and did anyone else spot the Michael Bay cameo. He one in 2 as well driving the car. Apparently that was a spur of the moment thing as the extra didnt turn up.

You people are nuts, this film was terrible and I say that as someone who really enjoys the first two.

It lacks the humour of the first two, it's not particularly funny, Martin Lawrence barely has any screen time and when he does it's like he really couldn't be bothered (has he had a stroke? One side of his face looks weird), the dialogue is bad and the acting is poor in a lot of places. It was also extremely boring and the plot made no sense unless you disregard everything you've learned about the characters in the previous films (they were at high school together and came up in the force together, when did Mike go on a super secret undercover mission and why does this apparently coincide, based on his sons DOB, with the same year as when the first movie was set?). They basically just made it into the more recent F&F / Hobbs and Shaw movies without any of the self awareness.

Loved Bad Boys - 9/10

Really liked Bad Boys 2 - 7.5/10

Bad Boys 3 was about as average as an action film can get, and less said about the plot the better. 5/10
