If Bad Boys for Life was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Unpopular opinion: Bad Boys for Life is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of Bad Boys for Life and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Bad Boys for Life is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Bad Boys for Life was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Bad Boys for Life's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love Bad Boys for Life. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
