Um Tira da Pesada 4: Axel Foley

I thought this was nicely done. It seemed to me that they weren't trying to outdo, or even match the original movie, but were just giving it an affectionate nod. And it achieved just that. It's nowhere near as funny as the first one but anyone who knows that movie well will probably enjoy the many tributes to some of its best moments. It was great to see so many of the original cast and also a lot of the locations. Using the original music was also a nice touch and it helped to recreate the mood of the original movie. If you don't expect too much it's quite a fun watch. I bet they had a ball making it!

Was it a blockbuster movie? No. Was it fun to take a trip down memory lane having worked in the movie theater when the first came out? Yes! It was fun to see the original cast and characters. And it was great that they brought back the original songs from the first movie too.

Say what you will about it being a money grab or whatever, but we enjoyed seeing Axel, Billy, Taggart, Jeffrey and Serge again! They're great characters that we grew old with.

And Kevin just makes for a great villain. He's got the smile and swagger. You knew right away he was the bad guy.

We recommend watching it for the nostalgia value at least.

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.

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 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.
