July 4th 2024.
Eddie Murphy, the beloved Hollywood legend, has recently graced our screens once again in his iconic role as Axel Foley. Fans couldn't contain their excitement as they watched their favorite character dust off his police badge and return for the fourth installment of the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. Titled Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the film was released on Netflix this week, 40 years after the first movie hit theaters.
While critics may have mixed opinions about the film, viewers couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia as they watched the 80s-style action unfold. Many have already planned to watch it a second time, with fans flocking to Reddit to share their thoughts. PurplePaws619 exclaimed, "It took forever for Eddie to make a good follow up movie but this was good. This is well worth your time." 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."
Heyitsmejosh also shared their excitement, writing, "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." And it seems like many others shared this sentiment, with Aging_genxer adding, "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. There were legitimate funny parts, and I liked that there was a progression in the characters and their relationships. I'm sure getting it right was a tough nut to crack, and I thought they did a great job. Not perfect by any means, but pretty damn good."
Eddie Murphy was joined by a star-studded cast for this sequel, including Kevin Bacon, who joined in on the fun. Of course, it wouldn't be a Beverly Hills Cop movie without Eddie himself, so it was a treat to see him reunite with his old pals Judge Reinhold as Billy Rosewood and John Ashton as Chief John Taggart. Taylour Page also joined the fold as Axel's daughter, Jane Saunders, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt took on the role of Detective Bobby Abbott and Kevin Bacon appeared as Captain Cade Grant. Paul Reiser played Deputy Chief Jeffrey Friedman and Bronson Pinchot rounded out the cast as Serge.
For those eagerly anticipating the release of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the wait is over! The fourth film in the franchise was released on Netflix on July 3, meaning it's available to stream right now. And it's like Axel Foley never left. The official synopsis reads, "Detective Axel Foley is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter's life is threatened, she and Foley team 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 haven't already, grab your popcorn and get ready to join Axel Foley on his latest adventure. And as always, stay tuned for more updates, because who knows what surprises might be in store for the Beverly Hills Cop franchise.
