Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F Review... It's Time To Retire

Beverly Hills Cop Axel F continues the nostalic trend by showing more than it has to offer.
Eddie Murphy returns as the slippery, street-smart, Detriot Detective, along with many others, but does the cameo list, long wait time, and script woes hold Beverly Hills Cop Axel F back?

fock off, this movie was awesome

[@fictionfisher7869]

For what it was I thought they did alright. I mean considering they are all in their late 60's at this point, they did what they could.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@fictionfisher7869 it's passable just barely but it doesn't hold up well.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

Have you wathed Beverly Hills Cop Axfel F? Did you enjoy it?

[@Chris-B.]

He began the role in 1984. The sequel was in 1987, and the third instalment was in 1994.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@Chris-B. Big thanks

[@Chris-B.]

@@unlimitedmagspodcast You are most welcome. Thanks also for a great take on the series.

[@davebooshty299]

Beverly Hills Cop 1 was 1984 , Beverly Hills Cop 2 Was 87 and Part 3 was in 1994.

[@overpowereddemonslaya3543]

I thought his daughter was going to be kidnapped in one scene but it turned out to be nothing

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@overpowereddemonslaya3543 would of made for a much better plot honestly! Would of made more sense for Axel to return to BH to rescue her, not at the end, at the very beginning.

[@FilmCraftersproductions]

Serge was added to the story so that Axel had access to the neighboring house. It was kind of there right in front of you.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@FilmCraftersproductions I didn't say I missed it. But Axel couldn't of gained access without Serge being shoe horned like that? Axel only *needed* him truly in BHC III and that's because he needed a weapon.

[@whoknew2273]

I really hope they don't do a sequel for The Golden Child leave Eddie Murphy classics alone

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@whoknew2273 BIG FACTS. Golden Child doesn't need a reboot, remake, sequel, prequel or nothing. Please leave that jawn alone. Axel F is no better than BHC 3.

[@SiccDeville]

I heard Coming to America 2 was so watered down and woke. I hate hollyweird in general but I hate even more all the reboot and remakes of classic 80s movies/ TV shows.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@SiccDeville Fam . I couldn't stand Coming 2 America or it's dumb ass name too; C2A was full of garbage nonsense.

[@sneakykamon]

@@SiccDeville I'ma be honest, my biggest problem with Coming 2 America is the fact that his son was conceived through date r*pe. It's such a weird thing to see happen to an Eddie Murphy character tbh.

[@TChighbury]

At this rate I think they might bring back the Golden Girls for one more run

[@Kamzik2006]

very good review, spot on

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@Kamzik2006 much appreciated fam!

[@johnk7032]

The 2ed one was by far the best one. That time period just really was the best for movies. Great action that’s not fake like todays stuff. Great one liners and comedy. Storyline was perfect for the 2ed one. Still love that scene when the 3 of them decide to solve the case themselves risking their jobs.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@johnk7032 Big facts. Agree with you 100% thousand. BHC2 is up there in the pantheon of great sequels. (T2 Judgement Day, SP2, Blade 2, X2, Lethal Weapon 2, Rush Hour 2 ... Liar goes on but we're covering it in an upcoming pod. 😅

[@stevenw2369]

I thought the trailer looked awesome. I was anticipating it and then I got about a half an hour in and couldn’t watch it anymore.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@stevenw2369 Facts. It wasn't interesting enough to keep my locked in. Was just as boring as C2A

[@sneakykamon]

What I'm tripping on is Beverly Hills Cop 3 actually has the most action in the entire franchise, and the most fights, but people still hate it because "iT tAkeS pLaCe iN a ThEmE pArK." The only demerit I can give Cop 3 is that there's not a lot of humor to it but other than that, it's a pretty solid movie in its own right. In fact, I feel like it's the only movie in the franchise where Eddie actually seems like an action hero as opposed to just a comedian carrying a gun.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@sneakykamon Its not the theme park for me, its how campy and bland it was. It had its moments. Wasn't all bad,.just much different from BHC I and BHC II. It's a guilty pleasure for me but a solid 5/10

[@brx8r]

It's like the best movie I ever seen. The script is very clever, I think for most people the dialogue goes in one ear and out the other, but it's extremely brilliant. Rewatch the movie as you learn more about life in the next few years, and in a couple decades you might appreciate it more. Not much action, but that's not what you get Eddie in for. He's there to be a secret genius.

[@brx8r]

It's pronounced "Search" not "Surge" 🤔. There's certainly a lot to find in these films. If you didn't even get that part, probably shouldn't be too critical :)

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@brx8r they joke about Axel getting it wrong in the trilogy 😭 ..

[@overpowereddemonslaya3543]

Joseph Gordon Lovett carried the movie he was the only good thing in it. Sure it brought back some nostalgia but nothing worth caring about.

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@overpowereddemonslaya3543 his acting was def welcoming. He could of just been the BHC we truly needed.

[@overpowereddemonslaya3543]

@@unlimitedmagspodcast they made him flawless he never missed a shot. He constantly done sarcasm. And his character is likable and he brought your attention much better than the other actors. I was actually hoping to see a cameo of Héctor Elizondo’s character from the 3rd one.

[@supahsonik]

20 mins in and I couldn’t watch it further. Let’s stop revisiting classics, they rarely work. Another Netflix sh*t

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@supahsonik it does make you want to check out very early on. Only finished for the review 😭

[@supahsonik]

@@unlimitedmagspodcast dudeee. There comes a time where some of these actors just need to let it go. lol what’s next? Trading Places sequel?

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@supahsonik lol.. golden child?! Right?! I hope they let these actors and franchises go on already. BHC, arguably didn't need a 4th or entry. Hell a 5th!

[@goldenboi778]

imo i don't think eddie murphy is all that funny any more...

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@goldenboi778 His latest movies have seemed out of character for him. He's not Nutty Professor funny anymore. Imagine an Eddie Murphy stand up 🫤

[@ButterCookie1984]

I feel the same.

@@ButterCookie1984 Big facts cook

[@avace917]

I guess a lot of people just don't like this movie. I personally enjoyed it. FWIW, I actually like more than 2 AND 3. This is definitely a split decision movie. Oh and going back to Beverly Hills because his daughter's in danger is shallow?

[@unlimitedmagspodcast]

@@avace917 Watch the review again fam, I said the plot revolving around his daughter was shallow. Also didn't say I enjoyed it. And that's cool, not here to tell you what movies to like, just what the viewing experience is like. Up to you to determine if it was good, for you.

[@davebooshty299]

Another Of The Blandest Movies / Sequels In Abit For Me To See It Feels. I Do Not Hate The Movie , I Feel The Subpar Part 3 Somehow Was Overall At Least Vibewise To Me Tads Better Even Though In This One I Love The Practical Effects , Eddie's Still Ok , The Cast Was Ok Too , ALL The Beverly Hills Cop Musical Tracks Are Present From The Whole Series Too Which IS Fun. Besides The Title Track, Axel F Being Way Overplayed LIke 3 Times Or So. But Otherwise I Again Found It So Ho Hum , Not Exiting Not Funny Enough At All , Also ,To Me , It Almost Felt Like A Bland Video Game Side Mission , It Really Was Just Going Through The Beverly Hills Cop Motions Too. Plus Besides Maybe One Character NO One in The Movie Is Even Amazed Or Psyched At All That Axel Is Back. The Whole Corrupt Cop Bad Guy Thing Was Boring And Standard Feeling Too. A 3 Out OF A Booshty Ten , Not Arresting Enough At All.

[@psjmarc]

Haven't seen the movie yet but I'm definitely going to because you can't even spell Detroit correctly; Why would I trust your review of a movie when you don't know how to spell one of America's biggest cities?

It felt like they were trying too hard to tailer to what was and rather than what is.... Beverly Hills Cop should've been a remake rather than a reboot! Some of the jokes were funny, but some were definitely meh.... I fucks with my boy Serge though.... "Get the fuck outta here!!!" "No I cannot" that will forever ne my favorite line in the series 😂😂😂...
