Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F | Netflix

[rp2000]

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)

Yes, it's a film. Just think of it as BHC 4.

Despite my initial reservations I watched this anyway.

...

Thoroughly enjoyed it, easy 7/10 and probably one of very few recent "cash in sequels" that I'm actually glad they made.

Wifey and I tried to watch this a couple of days ago. We tried, we really tried.

After about half an hour, I asked her what’s happening, she didn’t have a clue and neither did I. Fifteen minutes later, I said “this is rubbish”, she agreed and we turned it off.

Utter tripe.

Good old guys chasing bad guys and trying to bust them. He follows through the BH and the story continues. Its not massively different to the original.

 

[Shamikebab]

I really don't see how you could not know what is happening. You mean you didn't understand it or just weren't paying attention?

 

[something daft already!!]

It wasn't terrible. We both enjoyed it mostly. A tad cheesy in places.

I felt the same about this one. I really wasn't expecting much, given how rubbish most cash ins have been recently, but it massively exceeded my expectations. I also found out my missus has never seen the originals, so now they're on the list to watch having not seen them in years myself.

 

[Django x2]

Loved the Shrek reference. Eddie Murphy did play the best "Donkey"

 

[gettothechopper]

I liked it

was fun

some things made me laugh

works for me

 

[Freakbro]

It was better than I expected, though expectations were very low , but it was just more of the same so the jokes felt a bit old hat and flat.

 

[ristac]

I’ll watch it, only because I watched the original ones, I’m expecting it to be a bit cheesy

Allegedly they are going to make another one with the original cast. So he back for that as well.

No allegedly about it, it was announced this week

Wasn't expecting much but it was a fun hour or two

That man hasn't aged a frickin day.

Edit: I got confused. Shrek 5 was announced this week!

I'm still sceptical BHC5 will happen...

Allegedy was probably the wrong word to use, i meant it was coming but wasnt sure if it was 100% confirmed.

 

[Maundie]

I really enjoyed it, as a lot have people have said I expected it to be crap but was pleasantly surprised, I would give it 7.5/10 maybe push to an 8.

Loved seeing Serge again

Really? Were you using your phones at the time or something? The plot is pretty simplistic - the 'bad guy' is obvious from his first on-screen moment.

The highlight for me was the helicopter sequence, which was done for real rather than using CGI.

6/10 overall - It's mainly a nostalgia hit following the beats of the first movie: Destruction in Detroit, something happening causing Axel to go to Beverley Hills, a sequence where he drives in showing the 'crazyness' of L.A. Getting arrested by the LAPD and then getting on the case proper, culminating in a showdown in a Beverley hills mansion.
