Key opinion
Baywatch is widely viewed as a disjointed and cynical cash-grab that fails to replicate the charm of its source material. While some viewers find sporadic humor in the performances of Dwayne Johnson and Jon Bass, the film is largely criticized for its incoherent script, excessive vulgarity, and poor integration of action and comedy.
| Acting | The ensemble cast is largely underdeveloped, relying on superficial tropes rather than meaningful character arcs. | |
| Screenplay | The script is a disjointed patchwork of scenes that struggles to balance a serious criminal investigation with crude, R-rated comedic gags. | |
| Production | The film's visual presentation is marred by subpar CGI and garish, low-budget production design. | |
| Runtime | The two-hour runtime is considered excessive, with many viewers feeling the pacing drags due to filler content and repetitive jokes. | |
| Acting | Dwayne Johnson's charismatic presence is noted as a highlight, though opinions on whether his performance is enough to save the film remain divided. | |
| Humor | The humor is polarizing; some viewers find the explicit, lowbrow comedy genuinely funny, while others find it crude and uninspired. |
