Bringing back 80's classics for a modern makeover rarely ends well, but Beverly Hills Cop 4 might just be an exception. Was it was worth waiting 30 years for a sequel? Let's find out.

Soundtrack was not a 10/10. Would have been if they used nothing but tracks from the first two, which is what I thought they were doing, but then they played some absolutely terrible modern rap and it made me sad. Mind you, this is coming from someone who's been listening to rap since I was 10. That rap remade of the theme was just horrible.

The soundtrack was over engineered and over synth-waved. Faltermeyer's original 1984 score used less than 5 instruments beautifully produced and recorded by him . Its power was its understated simplicity. Adding every single 1980s synth sound you can find to an orchestra and choir shows a lack of understanding of the music and movie genre.

This was not a good movie and I am a huge fan of the first two films. There was certainly nothing that was pushing the envelope in this movie. No trip to the strip club, no politically incorrect jokes or banter. It wasn't pushing any DEI or woke messaging but the earlier films were buddy cop movies more for guys and everything was very toned down in this movie. And Taggart, Foley, and Rosewood spent only a few minutes all together. It had a few nostalgic moments but I just couldn't give it a good review.

The Real MVP of Beverly Hills Cop 4 was and still is: Jerry Bruckheimer! The fact that this movie worked AT ALL is the Hail Mary🏈 of all sequels. This sequel shouldn't have worked for coming up short but effectively made the story coherent and well controlled. I understand this was one of Jerry's first major blockbuster so he knew he had to personally be involved in order for this film to work. What's so touching before the start of the film: he still credits his closest friend Don Simpson as co-producer even after his passing 30 years later. God Bless You Jerry...and Eddie Murphy, too! 😎😁

@@grahamjackmacpherson6501 The fact it had to go racial in the first few minutes was cringe. Perhaps he was making fun of the woke crowd but it fell flat. Personally any woke referance would of been better not in it. I didn't watch the whole thing, I had to quit once his daughter showed up.

After watching “Midnight Run” with a less soy Robert Deniro and the amazing comedic talent Charles Grodin and John Ashton about 73 times in the last decade I’ve realized that I enjoy that movie all the better because of John Ashton! The guy adds something that a lot of today’s character actors lack. He’s an everyman that knows damn well how to deliver a line with intensity and still get you laughing! Love that guy in anything that he’s in!

Our childhood heroes remain our heroes even if they have aged- we can deal with that. What we don't enjoy is if they have fundamentally changed who they are. Thank you Netflix for this movie- our heroes are older and have many more miles under the hood, but they are still the same as they always were. And it was great to see them back together. Can't remember when my wife and myself were able to sit down together and just enjoy an entertaining movie from start to finish- but we did with this one.
