Nope.

Haven't heard one single good thing about this movie.

Went and saw this today just like I said and I must say I was far from dissapointed. This so far was the best action Blockbuster of the summer and that includes terminator III!

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence were absolutely hilarious and the action scenes and special effects were nothing short of incredible! This movie was extremely fast paced and you never felt like you were in the theatre for over 2 hours.

Actually one of the few sequals that I would honestly have to say is better than the first movie!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The first one was ok, but only because neither Wil Smith nor Martin Lawrence were superstars.

Now, Wil Smith is on a serious downslide, and Lawrence has proven he can't carry a film by himself. Add to that the complete pretentiousness and ineptitude of a director like Michael Bay, and you have a recipe for disaster! :D

I'll probably end up seeing it on video, but there's no way I'm going to see it in the theater.

Believe it or not, Big Mamma's House was a pretty big success.

I only caught about twenty minutes of this movie while waiting for 28 Days Later to start - my thoughts - I can't stand MNartin Lawrence - Will Smith could be a great action star - and the freeway chase sequence with the gun shoot-out right before is some of the best action I have ever scene - it put a smile on my face watching carnage on that level, that well done that I haven't seen since T2. I want to see the rest of it - although I'm not sure I can take 2 and1/2 hours of Martin Lawrence.

Well - my bro and I ran out of options and decided to see this and much to my suprise - I actaully loved it. Great action/comedy - great action, great chemistry between Smith and Lawrence(and I hate Martin Lawrence) and I really didn't even like the first one all that much. I though the whole Cuba thing was a bit much, but it didn't ruin the expericne for me - this was an old-fashioned action movie - i'm taking carnage, great witty dialogue, huge setpieces, nudity, gore - the only thing that could have made this movie an all-time favorite would have been if the bad guy was worth a lick (he was pretty much ass and given nothing to do) If this movie had a bad guy half as fun as say Alan Rickman in Die Hard this movie would be an instant classic. As it is - best action popcorn flick of the summer.

Recently watched it. While I don't share Shane's enthusiasm for the movie, I do agree that it was slightly more entertaining than the first. I usually find Martin Lawrence funny only in small doses, but his character was very likeable in this one. I was satisfied with this one.
