It’s not gonna win any awards but watching it felt soooo damn good! I didn’t want the movie to end because I loved hanging with Axel, Taggert and Rosewood again.
Watched it last night, thought it was great very nostalgic. Thought it dragged a little at times and his daughter got annoying but the rest of the cast were great.
yess another comedy movie where the drama aspect is the main character neglecting their kid, and the kid despises them up until they save their life 😂 that part was sooo cliche and stereotypical
They should not make another Beverly Hills Cop movie unless it can be with Paramount with a better script and a great action director if not they should not make another one it should be left alone Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F was fucking garbage Netflix was fucking horrible the new director was freaking horrible.
I feel over all the movie was good. So many Easter eggs from the older movies that after a couple watches people will see more. It did feel like fan service but I think people want to see that. I am a fan of all the movies in this series. Eddie was great. The old cast were great I think
Great review Mike. I didn't think Beverly Hills Cop 4 was as good as the first two films but I thought it was a good modern day buddy cop action movie. I wish we got to see more scenes with Axel, Billy and Taggart together.
When I was a kid, the thing I would do was get a walkie talkie, tape the button down, put it against the stereo speaker, and take the other walkie talkie outside and have the theme song (which by the way is called “Axel F” 😆) playing.
I'm not sure what you mean by looking bad... The movie looked fine to me.. There were some forced tropes like you said... I have only one issue which may seem weird... Axel was involved with all the crazy chasing and stuff... But, when it came down to the cool shooting or killing, other people mostly did it... It was like the director said, "Eddie, you just be funny, let us deal with shooting the bad guys."
I know what you mean about John Ashton's (Taggart) speaking cadence. It sounded to me like he is suffering from COPD. Having to take a breath in the middle of a sentence is a sign.
I think director Mark Malloy directed episodes of The Rookie and that's what Axel F is like. It's more of a tv reunion movie than it is a big, summer blockbuster sequel and I am okay with that because, for all it's problems, Axel F is mostly enjoyable fun.
the directors for the last 2 bad boys films where supposed to direct this movie but they where doing batgirl at the time and they chose batgirl and we know how that turned out so wish we got to see their version but still liked it a lot definitely deserves to be in this franchise
It was good, not great. 1 and 2 are better. Axel F is the name of the Beverly Hills Cop theme song... Still should of called it Beverly Hills Cop 4 though.
After Coming 2 America and Candy Cane Lane this was good not great but way better than the previous movies i mentioned. Movie dragged a bit and the daughter was annoying but i overall enjoyed it and i liked that he had his real daughter and son in law playing cops in the movie !!!!!!!
To think we're going to get a TV show based on Eddie Murphy's son than this. I'm glad it ended up not happening Here's video of the Beverly Hills Cop Pilot that never got picked up ua-cam.com/video/qUa90i0i99U/v-deo.htmlsi=54y4pi8USHlARjcC
I think they are afraid to use numbers on sequels to old franchises because the new generation i guess are less likely to click on it if it says "4" after the title. When it looks like a new movie they'll probably be more likely to click, as dumb as that is. John Rambo should be called Rambo 4 Bad Boys for life should be Bad Boys 3 Scream should have been Scream 5 Halloween 2018 should have been Halloween Returns Etc. Apparently the possible Lethal Weapon 5 will be called "Lethal Finale" if it happens lol
I disagree about the cinematography. Netflix movies always look super glossy to the point where it doesn't even feel like a movie. This looked and felt more like a throwback to 80s and 90s movies in my opinion
It's laughable, I keep seeing reviews saying this movie was tame and safe with it and not enough action. I suggest you rewatch the originals. They're comedy crime dramas with little to no action besides the final scenes
A lot of films that are shot digitally look like ass unfortunately. Proper lighting and color grading can help to a degree, but it still can’t touch that filmic look.
This movie was totally forced & trash. I grew up on Eddie Murphy movies & this ain’t it. This movie was made for NPCs. The same NPCs that thought Top Gun Maverick was great, when it was literally a recycled version on the original 🤦♂️
Paul Reiser's character had a picture of Inspector Todd in his office.. Awesome. Todd was funny as fuck in the original
It’s not gonna win any awards but watching it felt soooo damn good! I didn’t want the movie to end because I loved hanging with Axel, Taggert and Rosewood again.
I did the exact same thing with the music as a kid. Now I'm a cop and I do it work.
dude that is fucking awesome lol
Do you work in Beverly hills?😎😂
@@chalmers1984 I wish!
Same
I hope you follow rules better than Axel does 😂
Had a great time checking it out with the wife.
Watched it last night, thought it was great very nostalgic. Thought it dragged a little at times and his daughter got annoying but the rest of the cast were great.
It was better then 3. It did drag with the daughter .
yess another comedy movie where the drama aspect is the main character neglecting their kid, and the kid despises them up until they save their life 😂 that part was sooo cliche and stereotypical
the daughter felt kind of strange throughout honestly.
Beverly Hills Cop 5 is already in development.
They should not make another Beverly Hills Cop movie unless it can be with Paramount with a better script and a great action director if not they should not make another one it should be left alone Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F was fucking garbage Netflix was fucking horrible the new director was freaking horrible.
It was kind of odd that they got an unknown director when this franchise has Martin Brest, Tony Scott and John Landis to its name.
They could've titled it "Axel FOURley"
I feel over all the movie was good. So many Easter eggs from the older movies that after a couple watches people will see more. It did feel like fan service but I think people want to see that. I am a fan of all the movies in this series. Eddie was great. The old cast were great I think
overall I'd def agree
Great review Mike. I didn't think Beverly Hills Cop 4 was as good as the first two films but I thought it was a good modern day buddy cop action movie. I wish we got to see more scenes with Axel, Billy and Taggart together.
You know They should just called it beverly hills cop 4 without axle f but the film is good I like Eddie Murphy
Right?!
@@WeWatchedAMovie yep
The budget for this movie was 150 million dollars. That's twice as much as the first two movies combined. Isn't that crazy lol.
Love that shirt. Great review
Im hellbent on making Stallone the villain in the next one if they get it going.
I can't believe he didn't do the Axel Foley laugh. That was a big part of his character.
I love Lethal Weapon but haven’t got into Bad Boys or this franchise yet
LW is the best, last one coming soon I heard.
Lw5 coming. Mel is making it
@@70sguy100 I hope... But, we have been hearing that for a long time...
If they dropped the family drama and focused on buddy cop it would been great. The daughter parts dragged and the chemistry wasn't there
I agree

Man those needle drops were awesome though, really dug the songs. Helicopter scene was the funniest bit, killed me lol
That was funny!

Action movies are definitely making a comeback 🎊 🎉
Love 1st 3 so I'll check this out. Great review as always 😊🐾💜👋👍👍🐾
Thank you!
A Grand Return To Form!!! 👌🏽💯👍🏾

Nice to hear
I also like BHC lll

I was so happy to see Serge again!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is handsome. ❤🥰
I need to watch all Beverly Hills cop movies again
Taggert is 200 thousand yrs old. Give him a break
He say the same age as Billy
It was good, not great. 1 and 2 are better. Axel F is the name of the Beverly Hills Cop theme song... Still should of called it Beverly Hills Cop 4 though.
Never seen these movies. Might be cool to do a marathon with friends
I thought it was cool to see Shooter McGavin!! Nice little Easter egg!
oh shit yeah I forgot about that!
look man,i ain’t fallin for
no banana in the tailpipe
After Coming 2 America and Candy Cane Lane this was good not great but way better than the previous movies i mentioned. Movie dragged a bit and the daughter was annoying but i overall enjoyed it and i liked that he had his real daughter and son in law playing cops in the movie !!!!!!!
So glad i really liked it, now i hope they do a 5th.... And if they do make a 5th they better change the name of this to Beverly hills cop 4
2 uploads????? The fireworks are coming early!!!!!!
Mike blew my fireworks twice!

This was a really good movie
Of course I won't be at the live stream on Saturday, because I will be watching Money In The Bank.

John Rambo should be called Rambo 4
Bad Boys for life should be Bad Boys 3
Scream should have been Scream 5
Halloween 2018 should have been Halloween Returns
Etc.

KNOX SU KOW 👊 we had very similar childhoods my friend..
lol indeed!

I enjoyed it, missed his iconic laugh though.. waited the whole movie to hear it! 😢

I had no problem with the amount of action myself....and yeah they usually build to the big shoot out at the end.
If tony scott was alive to do this movie would have been way better
Look good movie

You spelled Axel (Axle) wrong bro! 🤔
I hated this one, I like 3 more than this!
I'm watching it tonight. Don't spoil it for me . Haha jk
Not gonna lie, was expecting exactly this... in that it's cRap. Leave the classics alone!
It doesn't do a damn thing to the original. So knock that "leave the classics alone" bs off.
This movie was totally forced & trash. I grew up on Eddie Murphy movies & this ain’t it. This movie was made for NPCs. The same NPCs that thought Top Gun Maverick was great, when it was literally a recycled version on the original 🤦♂️
Guilty of the worst Comedy Crime of all - it's BORING !!!
Its so bad , that i stopped watching it. Im so disappointed.
It sucks
One of the WORST movies ever made! plz, stop it!
The jokes felt flat and overwritten. Not natural or off the cuff riffing from our main three guys. I was disappointed.
I can totally see that
