Plot: The boys are back and badder than ever.The danger quotient is heightened and so are the laughs in this new installment as Miami narcotics detectives Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) become part of a high-tech task force assigned to stem the flood of designer ecstasy into Miami. They unwittingly uncover a deadly conspiracy involving a ruthless drug lord, played by Jordi Mollà, who is determined to expand his empire and take control of the city’s burgeoning narcotics trade, killing anyone who stands in his way. To make matters worse, Marcus’ beautiful sister Syd (Gabrielle Union), an undercover DEA agent, gets caught in the crossfire, forcing our heroes to the edge of the law. The assignment takes on further complications when romantic sparks start to fly between Mike and Syd, driving her overly protective brother completely around the bend. But Marcus and Mike must overcome their differences to bring down Tapia. And when Syd’s cover is jeopardized, it’s up to the Bad Boys to rescue

 Bad Boys II represents a new low for director Bay, who, at least to this point, could be counted on to make semi-competent popcorn movies. This film, however, needs more than salt and butter to make it palatable.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Necrophilia, explosions, destroyed motor vehicles, gratuitous T&A and Martin Lawrence and Will Smith doing their lame Abbott-and-Costello act. What's not to hate?--Charles Taylor (Salon)
"Bad Boys II" is a bloated, unpleasant assembly-line extrusion in which there are a lot of chases and a lot of killings and explosions. Oh, it's all done with competent technique.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
"Bad Boys II" might be considered three action sequences and four comedy routines in search of a story. Failing to locate one, the film diverts to Plan B: the invasion of Cuba.--Stephen Hunter (Washington Post)
LET'S NOT get shocked or outraged to learn that "Bad Boys II" is just like "Bad Boys," only louder, longer and the stars get paid more. And let's not fall over backward with surprise when we discover this sequel amounts to a catwalk contest, a testosteronal preen-off between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.--Desson Howe (Washington Post)
The dumbest action movie to hit theaters this year D--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
Bad Boys 2 not only improves on the action content but it sets new standards for buddy cop movies to aspire. B--Gareth Von Kallenbach (Lee's Movie Info)
Bad Boys II doesn’t live up to the status of the original (B+), but it ends up being one fun ride, even if the editing room should’ve been occupied just a bit more. B---Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
The sequel is aggressive in its effort to be bigger and badder, so to speak, than the first one, which was pretty flashy, fast, music-soaked and all about style, not substance.--Barbara Vancheri (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
And boy, have I missed it. For a long time, I've been craving a new 'R'-rated bloody action shoot-'em-up and this one certainly fills the bill. 7/10--Nate Anderson (Movie-Vault.com)
...like the original, Bad Boys 2 relies just as heavily on humor as it does on thrills, and there are a few genuinely funny moments interspersed among the action.  --David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
Bad Boys II has non-stop action and laughs, go see it and have a good time.  --'JD' (MovieWeb)
Bad Boys II : Get Ready For A Hell Of A Ride. --Jane Doe (MovieWeb)
If it's eye candy you want, this is just what the doctor ordered. But don't expect to be prescribed much of anything else.  --Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
High octane, no thought thrills. --Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)
Brash, crass, bloody and loud, it's shameful just how enjoyable Bad Boys II is - an unapologetic, unreconstructed actioner that's as entertaining as it is politically retrograde. --Nev Pierce (BBC Films)

| All the funny moments, violence and loud noises in the world can’t obscure the fact that this is a bloated, ludicrous, over-noisy empty-headed summer popcorn flick. 64/100 --Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
It's bigger. It's louder. And, like the title says, it's bad.  --Jami Bernard (New York Daily News)
I actually had a pretty cool time through the first hour and a half of this film, chuckling at the moronic back-and-forths between the two leads, enjoying the overstylized camera tricks that Bay reserved for this vehicle of cheese and appreciating the hyper pace at which it was all logged. 6/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Loud, ultra-violent and a good 30 minutes too long, this has its moments but is more likely to give you a headache than anything else.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
