Netflix Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley

Added to Calendar: 07-03-24

My one homie said it's not bad. But it's boring.
It's actually kinda a good movie if you have to be fair. It tells a good story. There are some legit laughs. But overall, it's just boring.

So kind of like a "something to watch when there's nothing to watch" ?

I'll check it out. I don't have the most refined taste when it comes to cinema so I might fuck around and love it.
 
Watched it and thought it was really good. It’s not saying much, but much better than Coming to America 2.

Eddie played the role right. Felt like Axel just 30 years older.

Action was straight and a lot of laughs. Plot was simple but not terrible. I wish they had one of those foreigner villains like the old movies. I like Kevin Bacon but he ain’t really seem threatening.

One thing I liked is they didn’t rehash gags from the first movies. They naturally made references, but didn’t try to recreate certain scenes.

Fun Foley

PRAISE : 30 years after........(WOW 30 YEARS !!!!) the last BHC of course there have been major changes in Axel Foley's life and those changes are complicated with a lot of strings attached as Foley returns to Beverly Hills after his daughter's life's threatened
Murphys pairing with Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a good one especially in an action sequence which made me laugh several times. As Captain Cade Grant Kevin Bacon chews up some scenery and is in one mode but i actually found him amusing especially when he got into complaining monologues several times. I thought Taylour Paige did well as his daughter Jane.
The movie is filled to the brim with fun BHC nostalgia and call backs. It was fun to see the characters of Foley Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) still in contact and circling each other.
Murphy still has it and of course he slips right back into Foley's Detroit Lion's jacket with ease,with the mannerisms,perceptiveness and snark intact. The production value of the movie is great and i can tell Netflix definitely didnt cut back in that area. While the callbacks are fun i was glad the movie didnt rely on them.


PROBLEMS:When the trailer dropped for this movie i knew who the villain would be so nothing shocking there. There is some old hat estranged parent story threads that hit the repetitive button to many times. There are definitely some predictable moments. The why dont you retire,im to old for this sh** threads felt a bit overdone and also repetitive.


Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½

Just watched it. I liked it.

Eddie still got the charm. Better than 3 and Coming 2 America

The nostalgia lean was fine. Similar music vibes and cinematography to Part 2(R.I.P Tony Scott). Don't go in thinking Eddie is going to do some stunts like Tom Cruise tho

This would have done numbers in the theater

I'm a turning into a big fan of Taylour Paige. She's talented. Very believable as his daughter. That stripper movie she was in was crazy
