Not excited for any of them, but I'll probably check out (yar har) Dune 2 and Bad Boys 4.
Dune is a great story, and Dune 2021 was decent enough. It had some things we complain about, but was still fun.
As for Bad Boys, I'm just curious if they can keep the '90s feel at all. Bad Boys 3 was far from perfect, as I recall, but I do remember being impressed by that, at least in many ways, it managed to capture some of the tone of the originals. So I'm curious to see what Bad Boys 4 (if they don't call it Bad Boys 4 Life they're wasting a lot of meme potential) will have to offer.
I've actually come to really appreciate the first Bad Boys in recent time. I originally didn't like it when it first came out, but it looks like a masterpiece compared to today's films, plus Mark Mancina's soundtrack -- he made some great stuff during the 1990s especially with Speed and Fair Game -- was outrageously fantastic, and Tea Leoni was as hot as ever in that film.
I didn't care much for the sequel due to it being too long and Will Smith being portrayed as too over-the-top and hogging the screen, but I did really enjoy the ending sequence with the badass officers decked out in military gear putting the pain on the drug cartel.
Haven't seen the third film, and both Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are too old and out of shape to be seen as badasses these days. Plus, Smith being a simpy jogger for his she-devil wife makes him lose any kind of masculine appeal as a leading man whatsoever, not to mention all that other Leftist nonsense he seems to promote when he isn't being a beta-cuck. I can't imagine Bad Boys 4 being anything other than a lazy cash grab, but you're right that they absolutely need to call it Bad Boys 4 Life.
