Yes folks, as a projectionist...I HAVE SEEN BAD BOYS II. So, for the sake of the viewing public who might actually put down good money to see it, here's my reenactment.
SPOILERS AHOY!
Will Smith: Let's shoot stuff! Martin Lawrence: I hate you. You're making me overly stressed! Will Smith: We're disfunctional! [Gunfight.] Will Smith: Your sister's hot! Martin Lawrence: I hate you! You're not good enough for my sister! Will Smith: We're disfunctional! [Gunfight.] Gabrielle Union: My brother's overprotective! I'm my own woman! Will Smith: You're hot! Martin Lawrence; You're my sister! Will Smith: We're disfunctional! [Gunfight.] THE END
All-in-all, just the same old stuff that Michael Bay did in the first movie...mixed in with some slow motion gunfights. Stuff blows up good, but there's NO PLOT AT ALL. It's hard to tell who's who and what's going on for half the movie, and by the time you do figure it out...it's too late.
If you have money burning a hole in your pocket and want to see cool explosions...sure, see Bad Boys II. Otherwise, go see Pirates of the Caribbean again.

Ok... so judging by your spoilers... Bay remade Tango & Cash?
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Saw it last night with hopes that it would be better than it looked. It was actually WORSE!
I won't post spoilers, but let's just say that's 2 hours and 26 minutes of my life that I'll never have back. Bay needs to be horsewhipped for this atrocity. And I thought PEARL HARBOR was bad!
Originally posted by CRZThe REAL question is, did they replace shot after shot of Tea Leoni in a short skirt with something comparable?
(I'm guessing not so much)
Gabrielle Union (from Bring It On) plays Martin Lawrence's DEA Agent sister. Hilarity ensues, as she & Will Smith have entanglements that make the movie THAT MUCH BETTER.

I'll go against the grain here and say this is the most over-the-top fun I've had at a movie in a long time. I was never bored during the 2 1/2 hour run time and that's saying something. It's Michael Bay turned to 11. And there's no reason to see it if you get no enjoyment out of that. Sometimes a guy just has to watch shit blow up real cool like.
Caped Boy: Excuse me, ladies. You may remember me as the guy who came to dinner a few weeks ago with underwear on my head. My name is Keith Stat from Milbourne, New Jersey. State bird, the mosquito. And as you may have heard I am recently a crowned class B dungeon-master. So if any of you would like to play D&D today, please speak now or forever hold your peace. [He chuckles, and there is an awkward silence at the table.] Caped Boy: Anyone? Alexa! [Alexa gives him a withering glare.] Caped Boy: Maybe you would like to join in? We do need a druid, and you have definitely cast a level 5 charm spell on me. Alexa: In your dreams, douche-bag! Caped Boy: Douche-bags are hygienic products, I take that as a compliment. Thank you. [Keith walks off] Alexa: Ewww!
2 1/2 hours of film footage I'd say that 2 1/4 of that was just shit blowing up and getting shot. Most of the Dialogue was lame but i can think of 3 solid scenes in the movie that had me almost in tears. It was still worth it for the Boom boom bang bang!

I thought it was good entertainment. Stupid, mindless, sometimes really gross stuff, but still entertaining. It's not like you don't know what you are going to get with Bay and Bruckheimer.
I hit the records stores during one of my college trips and found that Vegas isn't much better or worse than any other big metro, but my tastes ran pretty esoteric back then. Now, the PAWN shops...
