This franchise has fallen far.
The first is awesome and the second was enjoyable as a bigger, better sort of deal. I don’t remember a single thing about the third except that the bad guy ended up being Will Smith’s kid. |

Agree with you. The series basically followed the same line as what Die Hard did.
That said I'll probably be going to the theater to watch it. |

Big face plant incoming.
The third film was an abomination. You killed off Joe Pantoliano's Captain character for no other reason than shock value and turned his murderer into Mike Lowry's son. All while incorporating jokes about how these guys were too old and had no business doing this anymore at this point. It'll be a shittier Lethal Weapon 4 at best at this point. |

It's better this way.
Jokes about Marcus not being able to kill the bad guys because he doesn't have his glasses peppered throughout what is supposed to be the films best action set pieces was so ****ing annoying. It's probably the same dumbass that thought fans of Lethal Weapon would want to see an old stove up Martin Riggs not being able to keep up with the guy he's chasing, and getting his ass beat by scrubs he would've absolutely annihilated in previous films. It was just crammed down our throats in Bad Boys For Life that Mike and Marcus were too old. After Mike is shot and lying comatose in a hospital, Marcus is seen dying the gray put of Mike's beard so he can keep up his facade of not getting old. It's clear that the filmmakers know they ****ed up by killing off Joe Pantoliano's captain character the way that they did, because they've now had to shoehorn him back into this fourth film through video messages he left them before he died? Come on. |

This is Will Smith jumping back into a franchise with some built up equity in the hopes he can rehab his image.
Dude can't get an original movie made at the moment. So this is what he's going to have to do until he can get clear of the Oscars slap. |

Probably be a much easier route to throw Jada to the curb.

Will Smith has entered the Tom Cruise area of my brain.
Won't watch him. If we never hear from him or his annoying ass family ever again I would be thrilled. |

You’re missing out. Tom Cruise is ****ing awesome.
Will Smith’s well past his prime but he’s got potential if he can find his stride like Cruise has. |
