I wish Murphy would tackle more dramatic roles. His role as Rudy Ray Moore in 2019's Dolemite is My Name proved he can act his ass off if he wanted to.

Not watching this because I have no interest in him revisiting his greatest hits. Didn't even watch the Coming to America sequel.
 
Tentatively impressed. If they had replaced Eddie Murphy, it would be an automatic no sale. I don't have Netflix, so I won't be watching it, but if they keep the humor of the original movies, it should be good.

That is the thing with Crime/Police caper movies, it doesn't matter what year they are made or if there are sequels, they are just uncovering corruption and criminality with either super dark drama or humor filling in the blanks. It's why the Lethal Weapon movies are fun.

How does Eddie Murphy not age? Other than a little weight gain, the guy looks the same to me as he did in the OG Beverly Hills Cop movies.

Also, did we really need another Beverly Hills Cop movie?

Black don't crack?
 
OMG he is doing it again... look at the scene with Tagert and Rosewood in the car,... I think Eddie is green screened into the backseat. He was doing that shit in part 3.
 
That could have looked way worse. I actually realized halfway through the trailer that I don't really remember much about the Beverly Hills Cop movies. Something in an amusement park, and the jacket he wears. That's about all I fucking remember lol

The original is one of my favorite movies ever, and I switched off after watching ten minutes of the sequel.
I worry this will be shit as well.

Late sequels don't work (with the sole exception of Cobra Kai).

Bad Boys 3, BladeRunner2049, Rocky Balboa, Rambo, Frasier and Picard Season 3 were pretty good.

Haven't seen Cobra Kai

Cobra Kai was good until it turned into a Degrassi Junior High Karate edition teen series.

If they had just focused on Johnny and keeping the 80's alive in his mind as he found the true spiritual meaning of karate to balance his beer drinking, poon slaying, muscle car driving, beach life vs. Daniel's nuclear family mid life crises, as they both came together in the dojo, it would have been golden.

Looks pretty fun I guess. I can't help but go into these kinds of sequels with a lot of skepticism, but the trailer does make me wanna watch it.

That... doesn't look bad. Huh. Netflix, what are you doing to me? I'll watch it.
 
Already looks better than part 3.

Be nice if they'd stop being marketing pussies and just call it part 4. "Axel F" is an...odd subtitle.

How does it compare to that weird "Coming to America 2" movie they did?
I switched that off after 5 minutes.

Its alot better. They had less off Billy and Taggert than I thought but I would say they got about 20-30 min of total screen time in the whole movie. It more focused on Axel and his daughter relationship.

But it was a great movie, good mix of old time and modern. Wayyy better than coming to America.

The helicopter scene is hilariously good.

It was alright.

Very much a "Netflix movie" in that it feels like a big budget tv movie and not what you'd get in a theatrical release. Very by-the-numbers and a lot of "playing the hits". Eddie Murphy is too fat and old to do anything physical but he puts in legitimate effort trying to recapture the Axel Foley persona. Returning cast are mainly cameo status, with Taggart getting the most of the screentime but they're all good despite being old as fuck. Paul Reiser was so old I didn't even recognize it was him at first (And the movie even takes a moment to shit on how poorly he aged too). Was also nice they went with a synth soundtrack; a lot of it is re-used from 1+2 but there's some new stuff as well.

Worst aspect is Axel's daughter. She's not some woke bullshit or anything, just the classic 90s "strong independent business woman" and they do the estranged father and daughter deal where she''s a total bitch to him for not being there but then then they learn to give each other a second chance. You've seen the routine a million times. The action is mostly weak as well. As mentioned Eddie can't really do anything and they don't have the money to do crazy chases on the level of the originals, so it's very basic chase scenes with Joseph Gordon-Levitt on stand-by in case something physical is required. Luckily Eddie doing his thing is the main appeal and you get plenty of that.

As long as you go in with the expectations of a straight to video movie that's mainly a harmless trip down memory lane, you should be fine. Better than 3 in that you don't hate your life while watching it and it's light years ahead of that trash Coming to America 2.

I love the BHC movies .. this was ok but better than 3 and still better than I thought it would be

My biggest problem was the shallow plot and villain but then again you go back to the first and it also had a shallow plot and villain lol

Best thing about the movie was Eddie Murphy

You forgot the part where they shit on BHC 3. "1994, not my best work" (or something like that)

Just watched it. Overall it was fun. Wouldnt go as far as calling it good, but definitely entertaining. All the throwbacks were appreciated and the humor was overall solid. The only real weak link was the actress playing Axel's daughter. She cannot act he way out of a wet paper bag. Just genuinely unlikable and honestly offends the eyes with that BigHead mouth.

Murphey was the real foundation of this one as he carried a lot of meh scenes. All the old supporting characters were good enough (though sparcely used). The Third Rock kid ok....but damn was Kevin Bacon good. Had that character not had such a good actor it would have tanked teh whole movie.

You could tell it was a lower budget production due to the over use of cheap CG instead of practical effects....like even blood stains were CG! But considering its a Netflix movie, I can allow it.

The only cheap looking CG I noticed is when the helicopter first took off.
 
Watched it last night. Had a few chuckles, but some of the writing was rough.

It was really good to hear eddy say "fuck" again.
 
The movie is quite okay.

But damn, that daughter is so horrible. Typical modern tv strong angry black woman that's only annoying without any redeeming qualities to counter that.
Everybody else is doing fine, and I had a few laughs out of it.

Saw this and loved it, but I thought Axel's daughter was kind of a shithead. Great return for the series though.
