Bad Boys for Life: Ride or Die?

Hello movie lovers, Trust you’re having a great day and week so far. This weeks, I’ve made a mental note to take a rest from everything so all I’m doing on the daily basis is working a bit, resting more, binging shows and sleeping.

Honestly, it feels like I’m wasting away but this might be the only rest I get to have from here on out. So I’m making sure to make good use of it. Speaking of movies, I’ve seen quite a lot of them these past few days and most of them have been single movies given my addiction to them now.

You all remember Will Smith from karate kid right? That’s probably the one movie all of us have seen which starred him and this movie has and will always be part of our childhood memories. Today, I happened to come across and action and comedy movie with Will Smith as the main character so I decided to give it a shot.

MY THOUGHTS AND RATING

---

I’d rate this movie and 8/10 because generally, it was a good one. I loved the comedy aspect of it and I must say, the characters made the whole show lit.

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from this movie, it’s the power of friendship. We saw how Marcus stayed by his friend, Mike through thick and thin. These were people who had been friends for years and they always made sure to show up for each other no matter the situation. This thought me that showing up isn’t a choice, it’s a decision.

I’d totally recommend this show for anyone looking to see an action movie with a touch of comedy.
