Further along, a third Ride or Die viewer described the experience as "a total blast" and commended directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah for tapping into the "strong emotional core of this series without sacrificing any of its insane fun".
Smith and Lawrence's performances were celebrated, too. This fan was particularly taken by their ability to still bust "each other's balls" on an epic scale.
"Adil & Bilall's action sequences are loaded with inventive staging and camerawork," they also mentioned.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die comes to UK cinemas on June 5 and US cinemas two days later.
