Bad Boys 2 Blu-Ray - $12.78 @ JB Hi-Fi

180

I thought this was worthy of it's own post, considering the Blu-Ray version only came out November last year, 12 years after it was released at the movies, and long after Bad Boys 1 was released on BR!

Combine with the "Buy 2 get 1 Free" Promo too!

Hang on for maximum mayhem, full-on fun and the wildest chase scenes ever put on film! The action and comedy never stop when superstars Martin Lawrence and Will Smith reunite as out-of-control trash-talking buddy cops. Bullets fly, cars crash, and laughs explode as they pursue a whacked-out drug lord from the streets of Miami to the barrios of Cuba. But the real fireworks result when Lawrence discovers that playboy Smith is secretly romancing his sexy sister, Gabrielle Union (Bring it On). Director Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor, Armageddon) and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Hawk Down) deliver a high-speed, high-octane blockbuster that will blow you away! "…Year's most action-packed and high-flying flick." (Shawn Edwards, FOX TV).

Blu-Ray.com reviews it very well!

Bad Boys II arrives on Blu-ray in a "Mastered in 4K"/1080p encoded transfer that's ultra-faithfiul to Bay's vision. The movie is scorching hot, showcasing a consistently cranked contrast that emphasizes reds, oranges, and yellows. Color saturation is very strong, and other bright shades, like blue pool water and green grass, stand apart as well. The image is razor-sharp, accentuated by a light and even grain structure that presents the movie with a striking film-quality appearance. Details are always exacting. Facial pores, lines, wrinkles, and hair are particularly impressive, but every inch of every frame enjoys superb attention to detail, be that clothes, cars, grass, or any number of background details in any number of locations. Flesh tones are a product of the movie's hot contrast but black levels are beautifully deep and pure. A dark scene near film's start, at around the 9:15 mark, that shows a "bullet time"-style shot against a dark nighttime background, devolves into heavy macroblocking, but other flaws are few and far between and are hardly an eyesore. There's no obvious print wear and tear, either. This is another terrific film-quality presentation from Sony.

Bad Boys II features a terrific DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. It's detailed and enveloping, presenting aggressively but also delivering plenty of fine nuance that helps create a complete, exciting listen. Action is prolific. Gunfire is potent and heavy, blasting from every speaker and impacting with some serious weight. Thuds, crashes, and other bits of shootout chaos are expertly presented and effortlessly immersive. Explosions rock the foundation but do so with a tightness and definition that's a hallmark of the finest low end pronouncements. Various effects spring to life from every corner, notably during car chases where vehicles power through, accompanied by a symphony of chaotic violence that spills through the soundstage with startling efficiency. Music swirls around the stage with terrific detail throughout the range. Dialogue is well prioritized through the madness and emanates from the center with flawless definition. This is a surround sound and LFE extravaganza that's perfect demo material.

    If you get two other movies in the Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer it would work out at $8.52 and there are plenty of new releases available - as well as some shocking ones that I would be embarrassed to own.

          I remember walking into a JB and seeing it on their new to Bluray section, and was shocked, I had been wanting it for years. By luck, it was there, and I grabbed immediately!
