Beverly Hills Cop 4 Axel F (2024) Netflix Movie Review | Eddie Murphy 

I did appreciate that central plot was better than I expected. It was not just story thrown in around Eddie Murphy's antics. And I also appreciated that Eddie had to actually act.

I liked it, I’m glad that Eddie seems to be enjoying acting again. The movie was fun.

I liked it... When eddie murphys voice gets pitchy it's like being back in 1983....

It was definitely fun! 🙂

First of all, the fact that they even cast Kevin Bacon in movie was evidence enough for me to expect him to be the villain. I mean, come on! He’s at his best when he’s playing a villain or an unhinged guy.

Did anyone else catch that Happy Gilmore Easter egg with Shooter McGavin at the Country Club on the green?

The movie was not as funny as the first two, but it was a fun watch. I like how Taggert greeted him with a fake punch to the stomach then a big hug.

It was decent, 6/10. These types of comedy/action cop films hit different in 2024 versus 1984.

It wasn’t ground breaking, but solid.

No disrespect to Mark Molloy, this movie should've had a more experienced director behind it. My opinion F. Gary gray could have done this movie, not lift

The laugh coming from eddie Murphy own wasnt even there no more...i kinda missed that

Just finished watching it and had a good time! I liked some of the callbacks and easter eggs to the first 2 films, and it wasn’t too fan service-y. 7.5/10 from me 🙌

I Like It To Me It Was Good and it had Axel Foley Rosewood Taggart It my second time watching it and I’m gonna watch It again

It really such a good movie...way better than Beverly hills cop 3 own Nothing compared than the first and second one tho Btw banana with tailpipe was taking place in 1984 beverly hills cop if im not mistaken

It’s cool. Very predictable story, but good nostalgia!

I loved the fact that This movie had the same vibe as the originals in the 1990s even with the theme music this movie took me back to the beginning of the franchise

I enjoyed it. Didn't need to be at the movies. Casting cool. Didn't care for daughters attitude. I always luv Eddie Murphy

Thanks for the review Brandon ❤️

I watched the movie last night after watching your review. I was never a fan of this series, but I did enjoy this movie. The banter between the characters and father daughter relationship carried it enough for me. Definitely worth the watch.

the theme music is iconic 🔥🔥for sure

Watched it last night and it is a very good sequel. Love how the Axel F theme was used to convey different tones throughout the film. Very good use of the theme. The soundtrack is fantastic including motifs from both the first and second films was a great nostalgia hit. It feels like a true continuation of Axel Foley’s character and does reflect his age and time that has passed. Definitely worth a watch. Would I have liked to have seen this at theatres? Yes But I’m still more than happy to get it on my TV on day release.

i definately wanted to see the trio- more! and i felt like their interviews they gave, was wrong. i was thinking youd see the trio ALL together on the case. it was more eddie and his daughter

Just dropped here in Australia watched about 30 minutes drunk..it feels familiar so far.. it’s not bad…. I like it

I liked this movie a lot ! Eddie Murphy was great from the first scene ( Detroit style ) to the last diner ending. This should have been in theaters, but it is an excellent Netflix movie ! Kevin Bacon was a scary bad guy ! The action scenes were amazing for television, big budget ! Eddie is back !

I rate the movie 8.5 /10

There was an action scene in the beginning that caused Paul Riser's character to take the fall and retired to save Axel's job.

Thanks for the review. Bout to check it out now.

Kevin Bacon’s plans or whatever would have worked if it were not for Axel…he was a wild card that could not have been predicted.

It was better than Coming 2 America ( i know not saying much )

Great reviews brother keep grinding WV dc area

I really enjoyed the movie! Definitely would not have been disappointed paying to see it on the big screen. I rate it an 8 out of 10. 👍🏾

Gotta check it out

I just watched it. I enjoyed it. Good idea for it to be on Netflix instead of in the theater.

I got a few good laughs out of it.

I went into this movie with high expectations and I shouldn't have. It was cool because I like Axel, his antics and the characters who came back. The helicopter scene was dope! I gave it a 7 as well👍🏻

This movie was dang good! It had that 80s / 90s action feel. Glad it was streaming on Netflix, because I rarely go the theater anymore. Great 4th of July weekend movie 💪🏽💪🏽

This definitely should have been in theaters 10/10 movie definitely my second favorite of the whole series especially that cross over moment towards the end I think it could have worked way better with the exact same cast closer to 3 and had the daughter being kidnapped over what direction they took this

I really enjoyed it... 😊😊

I enjoyed it watched it twice already

For the most part it was solid and well shot. Only thing I didn’t really like, was his that his cliché daughter was getting annoying and repetitive. It the same thing they do in all the movies, have the defiant daughter who hates her father.

Just watched it, loved it. 7/10, definitely a rewind to the 80s 💪💪

I loved it it's a Beverly hills cop movie no different then the other 3 growing up and Detroit and loving the original trilogy I loved the opening scene driving thru the city the songs they played from the original film they brung back the original cast loved that jeffrey is partner is now the captain in Detroit they did a good job on this film

I really enjoy your reviews. Reasonable real person insights. Thank you.

I liked it, Beverly Hills Cop 4 had a simple task. The task being “Be better than part 3 and don’t be watered down like Coming 2 America”. It succeeded in my book. It isn’t an original film, there’s a fair amount of rehashing of the first 2 films in the first half. But after that it becomes its own thing. For me BHC4 felt like a proper sequel and a nice trip down memory lane. Overall I was satisfied and I’m glad they didn’t wimp out on the R-Rating.

They took a lot of head shots!

I did like the movie but, Beverly Hills Cop is before a lot of people time who actually go to the movies today. So I think going to Netflix was a safe move for that reason. And also Beverly Hills Cop 3 didn’t go very well and trilogy didn’t exactly end on a high note.

I loved the movie. Loved the music. Loved the cast. Eddie, Kevin Bacon, and the others, gave me 80's vibes. My fav decade. Yes, I instanly knew Kevin Bacon was the bad guy. I liked the helicopter scene and the snow plow scene. They were tearing up the city. 🤣🤣🤣 Ak-well. 🤣🤣

7 of 10

It was a Cool flick. Never realized that I missed Eddie in these kinds of films so much😊

You can always tell when that certain person is a villain in a Beverly Hills cops movies. If you have time you should see Taylour Paige in the awsome drama suspense series called "Hit The Floor" alongside amazing actress Kimberly Elise. The series go deep inside the NBA ..ish professional basketball and cheerleading situations/controversy

Banana in the tailpipe was the first film

Its been thought that they're gonna do another one comin out with Beverly hills cop 5

4/5 for me 💯

It’s a good movie

To think we're going to get a TV show based on Eddie Murphy's son than this. I'm glad it ended up not happening Here's video of the Beverly Hills Cop Pilot that never got picked up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qUa90i0i99U.htmlsi=54y4pi8USHlARjcC

I enjoyed it. I actually like it better than 2 and 3.

Great review.

I enjoyed it. If they never do another one it was good seeing most of the ole gang back together 🎥🙏🏽 I also expected to see more of the nostalgic TRIO more and not the daddy/daughter thing And did it seem like she kept looking at the camera?😂 EASTER EGG👀(check behind me😂) But I think FOOTLOOSE AND BEVERLY HILLS COP DROPPED THE SAME YEAR..Those films were the first lead roles for both actors

I liked it too, Brandon. I mean, I didn't NOT like it. I enjoyed seeing the guys back together again. In fact, I kept wondering just how long the three had actually, in movie time, not seen eachother. For instance, had they been on fishing trips like when they were supposed to go with the chief that time? Do they even call and keep up with eachother? Stuff like that became more important to me than the plot which, yeah, was crazy and predictable. I think Foot Loose dude was just there for the check. Otherwise, I would see this again...at my house...on my tv.

She used all her skills daddy taught her ❤😊

Beverly Hills 8 coming to a theater soon😆

Fair and lucid assessment.

It's cr@p on not worthy of a cinema/theatre release, and they know it. What's next Goldan Child 2?!?!

I appreciated this movie because it's part of the beloved franchise that I grew up watching and I can still watch the first and second Beverly Hills cop over and over. I had high hopes for this movie, however, the writing completely missed Mark. Where did the daughter come from and why were they so strange. It wasn't properly addressed and it was a huge distraction. Who is axel Foley today. What is his point of view. No one is going to address his age at all? He clearly is not the street smart slick talker he used to be. His demeanor seems more like the Eddie Murphy from Dr. Dolittle. It was not believable as the street smart cop who could trick anyone with his wiles. I was so confused at who this character was. He's not the same. They should've addressed that and had him have a point of view. Was he trying to recapture his youth? Was he an older guy with swag? I mean Samuel Jackson could've played the part better than Eddie Murphy at this point. Because this Eddie Murphy is so suburban and out of touch with this character at this point. For him to play a street smart cop he needed to have a Director and a writer that would get him back in the same mindset. It just didn't happen for me. So this movie was goofy and not believable. And the plot super obvious so we all figured it out in the first 20 minutes. So I guess this was pretty much a labor of love and done for fun. Obviously the budgets are not the same so you can't expect the same level of quality as the first two, but I would've hoped they would've had better writers to have Eddie Murphy be believable. Then to give him a contrived conflict with the daughter who we've never heard of, and have that relationship attempt to work itself out throughout this movie, just did not make sense. The Axel Foley that I knew would have never abandoned his daughter. The dude had integrity. He flew to cali because captain bogamil was injured. He convinced the guys to investigate the alphabet crimes. Now he’s a goofy dude who abandoned his only daughter. How dumb and awful. Tyler Perry has enough of this trope owe didn’t need it here. Who TF wrote this. Disappointed.

I’m just saying this and this would have worked better if they came up with this same story closer to 3 kept the same cast and had the daughter and Joseph Gordon play an underage cop and lawyer and played that direction had the daughter kidnapped kept Kevin bacon as his character and went full into the full cross over and cast towards the end of the movie put axel into a completely separate movie all together it would have been the best movie of the series and would have made a billion at the box office

Not very good. Although I understand it is impossible to live up to the original. Glad I didn't go see it at the theater.

Her acting was unconvincing at times, like she was justing saying the lines without feeling the lines. Her inconsistency with the acting kept taking me out of the movie. She was stunningly beautiful though. Not to say I wouldn’t want to see her again if they made a sequel. She just needs to work on her acting. Still better than any of the acting in The Acolyte.

I really liked it and thought it was a lot of fun

6.5/10 movie is worth checking out

I woulda said 8.5 out of 10

I loved it.

Thank you! i feel the absolute same!!!!

Agreed 💯👍🏽

Loved it

I’m hopeful they make a fifth one and Jenny is the mom. I have hope bc Eddie is the goat

Wait till you see Pluto Nash part 2

💥 MARTIN LUTHER KING (Movie) starring EDDIE MURPHY

Great review fam

His daughter and son in law were cops in the movie

I find it hard to understand how BHC#1, one of the best movies ever!, has yet again delivered another EGG. Have watched the ORIGINAL so many times. Outside the 'shoot out' at the mansion sequence at the end (pitiful). The rest is brilliant. BHC#2 was OK. I walked out in the middle of BHC#3. Today, I settled down to ENJOY BHC4. IN MY OPINION. 'Eddie Murphy has lost 'his movie actor/director MoJo.' BHC4 Issues? No cohesive plot, poor writing, editing skills way below industry standards. I give it ONE STAR

I could not get through the first hour of this film. The film just relied on nostalgia, wasn't funny and the story was basically a combination of BH1 andn2.

I couldn't finish watching the movie. I couldn't finish watching Coming 2 America 2 either. Maybe it's me but I think these reboots are horrible.

Dude who got time to go the movies.... I stream everything!!!!! I hate sequels.

I enjoyed it

There was a decent amount of action

I thought the plot was good but unfortunately the the Daddy daughter drama did not work for me and helped to slow down the movie ! The previous three films had moments where you could breathe before the action picked up again but this to me felt real slow at times !

Could janice be biological mother of jane?

Good fuckin movie.

I enjoyed it!

Yeah, to your point, some of the scenes are corny.

So you don’t like? Supervisor?

I’ve always liked this movie series more then the crow bad boys and other movies getting sequels this year it’s on of my all time favorite movies ever made ever and all those other big sequel movies are getting theater releases but it suffered the same problem the breaking bad movie had and when they did that cross over scene I’m wondering if that was an advertisement pop in or if both movies are in the same universe now

It was great 😂

5 of 10.

Miss axel foley friend Jenny from 1st movie. Glad to c gay character Serge made it n2 movie.

#1st🎉🎉🎉🎉🃏🃏🃏🃏🎇🎆🐝🐝

Decent but def not as funny as the others. Wish they had other comics in film to bounce of Eddie.

It started out amazing huge massive I was like I’m liking this more then the first 3 then it dropped of like 30 minutes and got bad for a super long time then you get to them stealing the helicopter and the cross over moment happens and then it is better the first 3 from there till it ends and that was like 45 minutes left it was a long movie

4/10

The plot doesn’t make sense. No shit! That’s the point. It low key satirizes all the weird, quirky, logically bankrupt plots from ‘80’s movies. That was part of its charm and appeal for me. Chill, My N…A, just chill….
