Hollywood Reporter

The pairing of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith generates a winning comic chemistry.

Roger Ebert

It has relentless editing, slick action sequences, and blows up stuff real good.

Empire Magazine

A frantically slick and thoroughly enjoyable extravaganza.

Variety

This highly polished package is formulaic in the extreme...

The New York Times

This film isn't aiming for high-toned drama, just high-energy entertainment, which is what it delivers.

San Francisco Chronicle

Bad Boys... benefits from Smith and Lawrence's chemistry. As long as they're on screen together, things breeze along. But when they're apart, the movie flounders.

The Washington Post

Even by the low-low standards of cheap action flicks, this one's bad, boys.

Rolling Stone

It's all special-effects noise and nonsense.

New York Daily News

Entertainment of the gratingly commercial, teeth-rattling variety...

Chicago Reader

Directed by Michael Bay from a script by several hacks...

TV Guide

This is pretty conventional fare, but it's consistently diverting.

Independent

You may rest assured that whenever a glass object hoves into view, it will be shattered in slo-mo by the end of the scene.

Chicago Tribune

Haven't we seen this all before? Four or five dozen times?
