The fast-talking Axel Foley makes his long awaited return in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. While certainly having it's faults, I found this to be a fun and enjoyably nostalgic return for the character and franchise.

I hate most legacy sequels, but this was pretty good and far better than the 3rd movie. It's a nice send off for these characters. I know he's like 85 but I wish we got a Ronny Cox cameo. I would still give it like a 7/10

A month ago, I binge watched the Beverly Hills Cop Movies for the first time in anticipation for this movie. Just finished watching Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) an hour ago and I had a blast with this movie and I'm giving it an 8/10.

Honestly thats the tome they should add to the rest of the movies from nowo n. Its just the tone setter for Beverly hills cop from now on. The music and themes. Esp The song Shakedown.
Great to see Axel Foley back 😊, I'd love to see a Bad Boys and Lethal Weapon Crossover with Beverly Hills Cop, the ultimate cop buddy movie event 😂
I rate JGL. Dude is super likeable, charismatic, and Third Rock From the Sun is a classic.

Third Rock From the Sun was original and fun. Something Hollywood females are incapable of creating. Hollywood is Anti American junk.
Huge fan of the "Beverly Hills Cop" movies & grew-up watching them. But I must say I'm pleasantly surprised when I heard about this movie, I had no idea it was being made !
I’m glad to hear you like it. I’m sure I will too. Funny fact the amusement park in part 3 is the Six Flags I frequented as a kid.

I just watched it today. It felt so much like the 80’s and mid 90’s classics. Same feel, I didn’t feel like it was a different movie just called Beverly Hills cop. Luv how they added the old nostalgia music to it, and I stay entertained throughout the 2 hours.
Get that ranking of all 4 out asap lol 😂
Thanks for this review!
Great review
Officially excited to watch this on the weekend. Thank you! I also liked Beverly Hills Cop 3 more than most. Quite a few big laughs. And I didn't even know Levitt was in this - he's always great.
i am so excited to see this tomorrow!!
I been waiting for this review! Can’t wait to watch it tmrow!
Such an awesome movie. Just woke up to it on netflix. Brought back so many memories from those days but yea nice review and stay safe chief
If they had taken out a few of the car conversations with the daughter and matched the music with what's happening on screen it would have been really good I think. It still beats 2 and three for me definitely.
Big sigh of relief I can’t Waite to watch this movie. These are the kinda movies I miss just a good cop action movie
i wish they had brought ronny cox back as well

Hey maybe in the 5th one
I was on the fence about this one, but I found that I agree with 98% of your take on stuff so I’ll give this movie a shot. Also, that’s an awesome shirt you have there. Very underrated album in my opinion. 🤘🏻
Been waiting for this
Don’t know what you think Cody but I’m getting a feeling now that audiences are beginning to show more hunger for some of these old school type blockbusters - you know these Jerry Bruckheimer produced films or films of that ilk that are throwbacks to simpler times of the 80s and 90s, like Top Gun Maverick and Bad Boys and now this. I think a portion of the audience seems to be getting tired of the way modern blockbusters are produced.
Imo this is the most 80s action movie in quite awhile.
This was a fantastic watch! 👏 👏 👏 👏 Well done.
Oh damn it doesn’t totally suck..? Fuck yes.
the closing scene damn near had me tear up with happy tears...
The third one was also my favorite and its so glad to have that validated lol. I'm really excited to sit down and watch this. This, to me, was one of his shining moments in his career. This character.
This is one of my most anticipated movies of this year. First two are some of my all time favorites. Excited about most of what you said, but it’s a huge bummer that Reinhold and Ashton aren’t co-leads
Love the first 3 movies. Used to watch them non stop. Good review
Your review was 100% spot on.
Part 3 was also my favorite as a kid and after years of not seeing any of these movies, I saw parts of 3 from tv a while back and was still having a great time with it. It's so nostalgic for me now. That annoyingly catchy wonderworld song still plays in my head from time to time. 😁 Glad to hear this new one might be better than I feared!
Interesting. Okay. I'll watch it.

My ranking 1,2,3. I’ll update when I see 4
I also loved Part 3 as a kid and still to this day, possibly because of nostalgia, still rank them 1>3>2 ... Probably watching 4 tonight or tomorrow
This review is good and im looking forward to the movie but the trick or treat shirt is the greatest part of it🤘
I also don’t mind the third one. One of my favorite scenes in the whole series of films is when he props up the body and points with it, and says, “He went up those stairs”
Just finished watching this. It was actually quite good! It definitely was a hell of a lot better than Cop 3. There were a lot of call backs to the other films and it was nice to be able to recognize them. Not bad at all!
This movie was good. Way better then part 3 😁 lol
All we need now is rush hour 4

I agree with almost all of this review. I also love Beverly Hills Cop 3 and grew up with it. I thought the comedy was there in this movie. The action was fun. The soundtrack was biblical. I couldn’t have cared less about the relationship with Axel Foley and his daughter. It totally bogged down parts of the movie. I don’t even think she was needed other than to be the excuse for him to go back to Beverly Hills. All of those extra scenes should’ve just been with Eddie and JGL.
Axel talking about the Winnipeg Black Guys and pretending to be the Red Wings last minute call up goalie was comedy gold.
@CodyLeachYT as far as villains go which do u think was better after watching BHC:AF 🤔 Ellis DeWald or Kevin Bacon's character ( Im assuming he is the villain & no I havent seen Beverly Hills Cop Axel Foley)
Hey Cody That's A Sick Shirt Your Wearing. I Love That Movie. Where Did You Buy It?
Saw it last night! I loved it!!!
Just finished it and i really enjoyed it. Was a good sequel. Really nice seeing Eddie back as Axel and thought he and JGL had fun chemistry.
I watched i give it a 7/10. This one was to wrote the wrong from tne throd film 1994. 1 and 2 are and will go down as iconic. 1,2 and 4 are my obvious one's
Serge was in the 3rd one too
I just now got a notification for this.....youtube trippin
i got a early screener for maxxxine cody !!! excited to see your thoughts on this one i’m about to watch it hopefully it’s as good as pearl atleast because idk if it can live up to X been hearing mixed things abt it if it’s even a sliver of good as x or pearl this is going down as one of the best horror trilogy’s in film imo edit without giving spoilers - some will not like this movie as much as X however people who want to see a 80s style kia goth horror film that ties into X without feeling like X will love this movie i can see people getting bored with this one if not invested but i can also see this as a cult classic like x and pearl , final thoughts i loved it as much as X mia goth still shines and is amazing as ever but i can see some people not loving this one and being disappointed but i can say imo this is the best trilogy in horror for me hands down i loved it ❤🖤 minor disappointment with it is who ends up being the night stalker i won’t do spoilers but i thought a particular character from another show should have been the night stalker since he looks just like him like it’s insane still great movie hope you enjoy it cody !🤘

The thumbnail is a good sign
Yes i was very upset John Ashton wasnt in 3. But this made up for it 👍🏽
I watched it last night and agree with most of your thoughts. It was a bit too nostalgia heavy for me. Had this come out around the time of The Force Awakens, it probably would have landed better for me but in 2024, I'm kind of over shameless nostalgia bait. I love the soundtrack for those first two movies, but that first 15 minutes was just shamelessly calling back to the opening of the first two movies and it felt kind of cheap to me. I liked the storyline between Axel and his daughter and most of his scenes with Joseph Gordon Levitt were good. "94...not your finest moment" 😂. I also really liked Kevin Bacon as the villian. I've never hated the third movie but it's clearly the weakest in the franchise. I liked this one a little more than that but it's still nowhere near as good as the first two. Still, I was expecting this to be a lot worse so I can't really call it a disappointment. I enjoyed it enough and will probably watch it again.
Thank god, I was worried about this movie being bad
I like that shirt.
They should've team up Axel & joseph Gordon levitt since the beginning of the movie. They got great chemistry. And Rosewood should've join the team sooner
That ozzy ultimate sin shirts kills
I so agree with you on axels daughter,,there was no chemistry between them,and her acting was so wooden that it could be called bad acting?,,,she was humourless, miserable and boring,,,she didn't want to be like her dad,but I'm sure they could of eventually made her completely vibrant
I just finished watching it and I thought it was way better than I thought it would be.
It's good 2 see the old gang back 2gether.
Loved it music and all
I agree with the daughter thing. Dialogue throughout was a bit wonky from everyone, and I thought maybe they talked a bit much. As for the music, I kind of wished that they would spread out the big three, one for each act, Shakedown during the box truck would have killed. Otherwise, I really liked the film and thought there were enough scenes that really had that BHC feeling. And Eddie was fantastic dropping into this role, and even some modern commentary but with Axels sensibilities was hilarious.
Huge fan off this movies and really liked this new one😀🍿
I can hear Axel’s chuckle in my head now…. 😂

I saw beverly hills cop 3 the most and its my favorite. I probably saw it on hbo in the 90s like 30 times as a kid lol
Awesome shirt brother.
The daughter is easily the worst part of the movie. Not only is she estranged from her father, but she's estranged from her boyfriend as well. So there's 2 identical plot points that eat up WAY to much screen time. A tighter script could've eliminated her completely. Axel goes back to Beverly Hills because Billy disappears after uncovering evidence of corrupt cops. There's your plot. No need for the daughter or her subplot of proving some gang banger innocent. Instead have more scenes of Murphy irritating Kevin Bacon, as is the nature of his character to do that. But with the daughter, the movie is at least 20 minutes too long, but feels like more because she derails it every time she's on screen. It's an ok movie. Not nearly as good as the first 2 but not nearly as bad as 3.
Yea the 5th film is being written Eddie said. But i also sent and idea to Jerry Bruckhiemer for the 5th My idea had Taggart ,Rosewood and Axel working together again. To find out whos this new big bad villians son that just got out of prison. Targeting them and their familys. And kidnapped Janes mother. Which brings Axel back to LA to reunite 1 last time with Taggart and Rosewood to being this New big bad down. And get Janes mother back. What do yall think of that premise? The villian is supposed to be the dark tone of the movie like Max was in bev cop 2. Which makes Eddie the lighter tone to the movie just like bev cop 2.
Watched it and loved it smiled the whole way through, but I have to ask whoever is the Eddie Murphy signature laugh!???
Two things, when do people get to old to make action films also what is the shirt you are wearing looks awesome.
What I want to know js , will Netflix release it on DVD ?!
Weird shirt, it’s a mix of Sammi Curr of Trick Or Treat with Ozzy from the Ultimate Sin album
I know the 3rd was not as good but I love them all lol
Hi Cody, are you going to review Longlegs?
Ok loved the movie but QUESTION? Do you think the the helicopter scene with the Rotor being shot out and then crashing was dig at John Landis? First thing i though of when it i seen it.
Now we need a rush hour 4
Very good film i enjoyed it. There making another one apparently 🎉
I was skeptical for only the director Mark molloy his directorial debut wasn't a good sign compared to the talents of Martin brest and Tony Scott as much as I like John Landis as director not so much in Beverly hills cop 3 it's a solid movie 3 out of 5 for me
I wonder if he'll be sticking a banana in the tailpipe again. 😉😂🤣 But seriously, does sound interesting, and I'm sure I'll check it out. However, now I know why the bundle of the first 3 movies is currently on sale, which I plan on taking advantage of when I get paid tomorrow. Did enjoy your review. Thank you, Cody.
