I enjoyed it. I’ve not enjoyed an Eddie Murphy film in a long time but love his 80’s catalogue.
Same he made a lot of duff including Coming to America 2. Also glad he moved away of trying to play every single character in a movie phase.

I'll definitely be re-watching. One of my favourite lines from the past is: "Don't think, Axel! It makes my dick itch!"

Thought this was really good, I'd have happily paid to see it at the cinema but not complaining it was on Netflix.
Just realized JGL hasn't really had a major role since Dark Knight rises and Inception era.

Thought it was pretty good overall, but...
Anyone else feel that Rosewood and Taggart were just glorified cameos in this? The movie imo missed the interaction between all 3 of them, that really only occurred at the end in the car. Would have been nice to see all 3 in some more scenes together. Yes they're getting older but so is Eddie Murphy who's only 4 years younger than Judge Reinhold.

The line about the third movie in the police station as "not your finest hour" had me cracking up
Dolemite Is My Name is still the best thing he's done in a looong time (5 years ago, damn).

I re-watched the first 3 films over the last couple of weeks.
The new one is OK - Not a patch on the former trilogy, but it has been 40y since the first one and 30y since the last one.

yeah pretty funny at least they acknowledge 94 was a flop. Hope they make a 5th one. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

They did butcher the song in the new film
.Just play the original.
I do hate that frog!

A solid 6/10 for me, far better than 3 but not quite as good as 2 and way behind 1 with a story where you'd have to be legally blind to not see who the bad guy is, but with some good stunts, good humour and just a sense of "fun".
As with all these "a sequel 20+ years after the last one" films, it's always bittersweet to see the cast ageing so much as that just reminds me of my own advancing age.

Watched this last night, exactly what I was expecting.
Bit of nostalgia with some of the original soundtrack

Yeah my thoughts as well, think I would give it a 7/10 though, as you say seeing them aged does give that bittersweet effect, 30 years since the 3rd movie! But I’m pleased it was decent, was worried with it being on Netflix.
Yup same here. Watched it last night. Solid 7/10

Just ordered BHC 1 and 2 on 4K Blu Ray, will watch them 1st.
I skim read this thread, it's a film not a series? (I assumed it was a series with it being on Netflix)
