GibsonMaestro agreed, stating, "Much better than part 3 and a well done legacy sequel. It felt like an extension of the original series and was absolutely worth my 90 minutes."
The film truly captures the essence of an 80s cop movie, as Heyitsmejosh explains, "Honestly felt like an old 80's cop movie and that's exactly what I wanted when I put the film on. 80's style bad guy, 80's style plot, and an 80's style shootout at the end." Even Aging_genxer was pleasantly surprised, saying, "I was actually pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it...the tone felt very similar to the first two movies, it almost felt like an 80s flick."
The cast for this sequel is nothing short of star-studded, with Eddie Murphy leading the pack as Axel Foley. His old pals Judge Reinhold and John Ashton also returned as Billy Rosewood and Chief John Taggart, respectively. Taylour Page joined the fold as Axel's daughter, Jane Saunders, Joseph Gordon-Levitt took on the role of Detective Bobby Abbott, and Kevin Bacon made an appearance as Captain Cade Grant. Paul Reiser plays Deputy Chief Jeffrey Friedman and Bronson Pinchot rounds out the cast as Serge.
Fans can already stream Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix, and they're loving every minute of it. The official synopsis reads, "Detective Axel Foley is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter's life is threatened, he teams up with a new partner and old pals Billy Rosewood and John Taggart to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy."
So, if you're in the mood for some classic 80s action and comedy, be sure to check out Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix. As Bhenchie puts it, "I am a big fan of the original trilogy and this one is very much a Beverly Hills Cop movie through and through!"
