'Bad Boys 3' Is Here After 16 Years With A New Trailer

From the clouds! Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back…

Marcus Burnett is now a police inspector and Mike Lowrey is in a midlife crisis. Both of them unite again when an Albanian mercenary, whose brother they defeated, promises them an important bonus in revenge.

Here’s the cast…

So, uh… I kind of loved this trailer?

When this movie was announced (Michael Bay is not back to direct, by the way), I was skeptical. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence taking themselves seriously in the third movie, 17 years after the sequel, sounded awful. But based on this trailer, I am on board. The vibes given off from this trailer feel much like that of ‘Hobbs & Shaw’. There will be serious action, but dialogue and tone that knows exactly what it is as a movie.

Also how about this return…

Joe Pantoliano! “Ignorance is bliss!”

It might be 16 years since ‘Bad Boys II’, but Will Smith has barely aged at all…

The movie comes out in early January of next year and that seems like a perfect time. I’ve been critical of Will Smith’s recent roles, but his performance as the Genie in ‘Aladdin’ was a reminder that the more fun Will Smith has, the better the movie ends up being.

This is even a surprise to me, but I am ready for the third ‘Bad Boys’ movie.
