Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. | Ratings & Reviews

"(An) uncomplicated throwback."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"The heat is definitely back on."

IGNIGN

"A good-natured romp that makes gallant, sometimes hilariously misguided, efforts to fit an eighties aesthetic around contemporary California."

The Irish TimesThe Irish Times

"The very definition of passable, comfort-viewing, nostalgia-tinged entertainment."

Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-Times

"The simple reminder of a situation, a character... from Beverly Hills Cop is supposed to leave us clapping our hands like seals."

VarietyVariety

"A comfortably familiar, stays-in-its-lane continuation."

PastePaste

"Finds a clever way to tweak the... formula without disrupting it entirely."

IndieWireIndieWire

"It’s not as funny as (the) previous ones... But it has Murphy blowing stuff up and joking about it."

Associated PressAssociated Press

"Murphy is effective, even if the tone has shifted from a brash swagger to nostalgic cheer."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"A joyless affair... that made me long for the original."

Boston GlobeBoston Globe

"Eddie Murphy brings Big Dad Energy."

USA TodayUSA Today

"(A) routine Netflix sequel low on new ideas."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Murphy could still play comedy or drama with the right script, but this presumes a great deal on the audience’s brand loyalty."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"A film of familiar pleasures."

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

"Comes to the table with nothing to prove, nothing to say, and nothing for Murphy to work with."

IndependentIndependent

"An almost-faithful recreation of the original’s unreconstructed idiocy, this belated sequel is warm, funny and full of excellent car chases"

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"You might not be giving it the full Axel-like heh-heh-heh, but you’ll be smiling and chuckling throughout."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Murphy's style is the meat on this movie's slender bones."

Houston ChronicleHouston Chronicle

"The Detroit disrupter’s troublemaking shtick hasn’t changed 30 years on — and the material’s age is showing."

Financial TimesFinancial Times

"There’s little to smile about in this painfully lacklustre retread."

The New York TimesThe New York Times
