Bad Boys II

"Everybody involved in this project needs to do some community service."

"Two-and-a-half hours of total Bayhem."

"Bad Boys II is the rare case in which escapism involves leaving the theatre."

"Bay ... inflates what should have been a lean, taut action comedy into a two and a half hour marathon."

"Frankly, there's just far too much of everything."

"The cinematic equivalent of toxic waste."

"Assaultive, bombastic, and occasionally funny..."

"A simple cop buddy movie extended to unconscionable length..."

"Appallingly mean-spirited..."

"A mind-boggling... combination of shock-and-awe brilliance and idiocy..."

"It's bigger. It's louder. And, like the title says, it's bad."

"What's not to hate?"

"One bloated, loud, frenetic slice of all-around excess, but it's all in good summertime fun."

"Plays like a flashy highlight reel from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City."

"As entertaining as it is politically retrograde."

"Resembles a full-length promo for itself."

"Designed for... lunkheads with a thirst for the lowest common denominator."

"This sequel is as sour and jaded as they come."

"Bad Boys II still punches the pleasure centres enough to qualify as big, dumb fun. Just."

"Producer Bruckheimer and director Bay have sunk to a new low..."

"Like our two loose cannons with badges, the movie misses its target at least as often as it hits it."
