Content to let a very game Eddie Murphy bring all the heat, the fourth Beverly Hills Cop coasts on nostalgia but marks a welcome return for Axel Foley.

Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) It’s better than you had any right to expect it to be. Rated: 3/5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune Murphy might be one of the most talented performers of any generation and it’s thrilling to see him back in the role that turned him into a movie star. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday The heat is definitely off. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk Murphy slides back into the character like a well-worn glove, although the added dimensions he brings to Axel through age and experience give the film the distinction it needed to justify its existence. Rated: 3/4 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Dan Buffa Ramble On With Buffa (Substack) The good thing is Eddie Murphy wears the role like he wears that trademark coat, with the ease of a veteran funnyman who knows how to steer an action comedy. John Ashton, Judge Reinhold, and Paul Reiser all return classily to their respective roles. Rated: B Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) A desolately plotted excavation of Eddie Murphy's first iconic role, the fourth installment of Beverly Hills Cop is functional nostalgia porn crafted solely to replay the greatest hits but not daring to say anything new. Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

General P This was actually good. Like I felt I was watching a good sequel to Beverly Hills Cop. Some of the parts were cheesy as they try to tie back to the only films, but for the most part this was awesome. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review John C Hope will see more of these soon Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Koen H Great to see Foley, Taggart and Rosewood back in action together after all these years.. still fun and exciting Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Joaquim M Was great action and fun to see old faces. Much better than the 3rd film . Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Matty D Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is determined to return to the 1980s era of action films. Since I grew up watching most of these movies in their reruns during the 1990s, I found myself feeling nostalgic for this kind of “simple minded” cinema. Make no mistake, the jokes are high-brow—so much so that some take a minute to sink in, you might find yourself laughing after the fact. And what about Eddie Murphy? Like Jim Carey or Adam Sandler, he’s almost his own genre of performance that it’s hard to compare his seasoned comedic chops to anyone other than Eddie Murphy himself. Which is to say, how does this compare to other Beverly Hills Cop films? Well, it doesn’t quite reach the thrills of the first, but doesn’t seem as stalled out as the third entry. It exists somewhere in-between, and for this reviewer that’s good enough to recommend for the throwback thrills. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Audience Member A very fun Movie to watch, I mean it isn't really different to the first or 2nd one but it definitely has some better and more improved action and stunts, I kind of expected a little better of the reunion of the original cast but it was still nice seeing them on set together, overall this was a very fun movie to watch and probably is one of the best one out of all 4 movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
