Un piedipiatti a Beverly Hills: Axel F

Axel is back!!! It was a pleasing film with the gang back again. The story was not complicated but fits the Beverly Hills Cop movies. The intro got you right back all those years ago. And how i have missed the humor of Eddie Murphy on the big screen. The film had the humor and action we came to love from the first films. Yes, it can never beat the original films but they were simply that good and the gang was ofcourse a lot younger. Taggert surprised me with a energetic performance for his respectable age! I was completey back in the Foley universe and enjoyed it! Thank you Eddie, good to see you again!

I'm a sucker for a good nostalgia movie. Stallone did it with Rocky and Rambo, Ford with Indy, Han Solo and Deckard, Cruise with Maverick... now it's Eddie Murphy's turn with Axel F!

I thought the third movie had definitely killed off any hope of another but this definitely recaptures some of the magic of the original movie without going over the top to get a laugh, which is what I think was the problem with number three.

A great mix of action and comedy without going too far for the laughs. Great to see Taggart and Rosewood back together, with some great additional characters. Sime interesting cameo appearances too.

I really wasn't expecting much. The third movie was so bad, and this one straight to streaming, I figured it would be a disaster. But it wasn't! I think if they tried to update it too much and there wasn't as much nostalgia (music, familiar characters), it would've been a flop.

The story is ok, just not very strong. The action was ok, but it was a a lot of rehashing of the opening sequence of the first movie - plus, everyone is so much older now, there can't be as much running or rolling around on the floor. The humor throughout is decent, I wish there was more.

The weakest of it all is the actor who played Jane. Unfortunately, she's not very good in the emoting department - she's way worse than Brigitte Nielsen was in the second movie. Anyways, it's still a decent watch if one is a fan of the originals. It's good enough to have deserved a theatrical release. Not bad at all.

It was a fun ride that had a lot of the original elements. Nothing new in terms of the plot but it was entertaining. It was nice to see most of the original cast show up throughout the film. Everyone is a lot older so don't expect a lot of physical action and fighting scenes, just a lot of bullets flying.

I said everyone is much older but the main start, Murphy, seriously doesn't look much older than he did in Beverly Hills Cop III. There's a scene with Eddie Murphy and Kevin Bacon in a room together. Bacon looks like the 65 year old OG he is but Murphy looks nowhere near his age of 63. 63! Let that sink in when you see him on screen. Unbelievable.

I was 18 when Beverly Hills Cop came out, (saw it at a drive in), here I am 40 years later, reconnecting with my youth. Same characters, same sound track it's absolutely fantastic. In all honesty I reckon outside of the original, this is the best. It was laugh out loud funny at times, I really struggle to watch a movie these days from start to finish, just jumped on this one and was crushed when it ended. A couple of classic scenes included the woman who played the unhinged real estate agent, just brilliant stuff, as well as the hideously underrated Luis Guzman completely dominating his three minutes as the supposed drug cartel Uncle of the wrongly convicted dogsbody. Really enjoyed this one.
