    In 2019 a friend and I got subscriptions to Regal and began going to a movie a week. Most days we'd plan something, but sometimes we'd just show up and pick something. (We blindly picked Underwater, and what a great surprise. Also decided to see the Tom Hanks Mr. Rogers film and proceed to ugly cry all over myself.) Then COVID. The last movie I saw in theaters as a subscriber was Bad Boys for Life. I tried to go see Dune 1. I drove 30m, bought popcorn and a slushee, and waited... But the…

    Just reminds me of how dumb it was to not save "Bad Boys For Life" to be the title of the fourth movie, rather than the third. And, for that matter, the second film not being "I Still Know What You Did the Summer Before Last."

    Just watched 10 seconds of the new BAD BOYS trailer. Enough to get a taster without carrying of for the full 3 minutes and get any spoilers. Last Bad Boys was the best one. I'll watch this one. It's pretty funny Bad Boys 3 was 'Bad Boys For Life' so they can't use that title for this forth movie.

    August 2020 wasn't exactly a good time for movie theaters, though. That $365M made it the fifth-highest-grossing film of the year, behind a Demon Hunter anime film, two Chinese films, and Bad Boys for Life. Bad Boys for Life released in January and made $427M before March shutdowns due to COVID.

    35. Bad Boys For Life (2020) Very surprised at how great this movie was. Because Michael Bay is no longer directing these films, there's no sign of any of his signatures in here which is already a great thing. It's also paced great, actually funny and very emotional. 4.5/5

    Bad Boys for Life (2020) I was shoveling dirt for a few hours but just long enough to finish the 3rd Bad Boys movie! A nice blend of 1's seriousness and 2's humor (although definitely leaning towards 1's seriousness). So nice to see even after 18 or so years after 2 8/10
