Bad Boys: Ride or Die
Directed by Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah
- Zokkiie5 May 2026Its all over the place, but still pretty fun. It goes big again, sometimes a bit too much, but at least it never feels boring. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence still have that easy chemistry, which carries a lot of it when things get messy. The Reggie shootout is definitely the highlight haha, that part alone almost makes it worth it. Kinda sucks they recast Marcus’ wife though—the new actress just doesn’t feel right. I miss Theresa Randle, it actually takes away from it a bit. It’s not as tight as it could be, but still an easy, entertaining watch if you don’t think too much about it.
- Adam Abaza10 February 2026The action sequences are as polished and exaggerated as the series is known for, but with greater technical advancement, and the direction is dynamic and action-packed. The comedy is still present, especially in Martin Lawrence's moments, with a clear attempt to balance humor with the themes of aging and responsibility. The story isn't profound, but it's cohesive and entertaining, relying primarily on the enjoyment of watching and the relationship between the two protagonists rather than any grand message.
- MetroidTalon22 August 2025Smith and Lawrence haven’t missed a beat. Ride or Die is loud, slick, and packed with exactly the kind of chaos you expect from this series. The action hits hard, the jokes mostly land, and the chemistry is still the real draw. There’s just enough heart under the explosions to keep it grounded. It doesn’t rewrite the buddy cop formula, but it knows how to make it fun again. High-octane comfort food that delivers on the franchise promise.
- Robert Robins19 July 2025Every New Movie out of this franchise just got better and better. This movie not only delivered Comedy & Action, but this movie made me favor it over Bad Boys 2. It knew when to be Goofy but then it also knew right when to be Serious & to make sure you were ready for a action. I was kept on my toes but at the same time I was enjoying it. It was a Fun action packed thrill ride. It had me laughing one minute then shaking the next. But the best part is that it had a sense of *Style to the movie, you get vibe from this film that makes you remember & most of all i can watch it over & over & over again. That’s why I loved this film. I’ve bought it off YouTube because of how good it is, check it out.
- Kevin Ward1 July 2025B4d Boy5: R1d3 or D13 - there. That should make it easier to remember which one this is. Not quite as fun as I remember Bad Boys for Life being. Some of the jokes fall flat in the early going and this takes a little bit for the film to pick up steam, but once it does the Smith-Lawrence chemistry really works. Loved the hand-held action work or however exactly they filmed the action scenes in Gatorland. Crazy how Rhea Seehorn was completely underutilized though. I did just find out she’s starring in a new Vince Gilligan sci-fi series that’s shooting in Albuquerque now. So that’s a bonus that came out of my google searches today. 🤩
