    Hollywood's biggest issue is they no longer take risks. The 80's felt like the best time for movies. I'm not saying all the movies were great, there were plenty of stinkers. Maybe it was all the cocaine, but it feels like they green lit whatever landed on their desk. They were willing to gamble on the next big thing. we don't have that anymore, everything is either a reboot or a remake nowadays.

    It didnt try to be overly funny by inserting bad jokes everywhere, it has Eddie Murphy improvising a lot of good scenes, and it was genuinely funny.
    Was it as good as the first one in the franchise? No, of course not, but its still good enough to be a quality movie, soundtrack was also dope!

    I thought the same thing after watching: "It's ok.. it's ok."
    During the credits they were doing the Netflix thing where they show all the voice over actors for the different languages. I thought about watching a couple scenes in other languages, to see how the voice actors encapsulate Axel's character. But before I could choose a language, I saw "English with description."
    I ended up watching THREE QUARTERS of the movie a second time with the description voice guy telling me every non verbal thing that was going on.
    10/10 would HIGHLY recommend! LOL

    Netflix doesn't require you to use the same camera. I've seen people say this a bunch lately but it's not true. They require you to shoot in 4k but that isn't why the movies all look the same. That has more to do with the post-production process and how it's streamlined.

    • @AdamDoesMovies
      @AdamDoesMovies  16 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      From what I read/heard from people in the industry, most use the Netflix cameras when working on their productions. Cameras are incredibly expensive so using the Netflix provided ones saves a ton of money and they hit the requirements. You are correct that they don't have to but it sounds like most do. In any case, my main point was that these movies feel cheap because of the digital look.

      @doc8013 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@AdamDoesMovies yeah, I got you. And you're right, they do have certain specifications. But that same look we've all grown to resent is how they approach post production. Everything is handled to be as efficient and cheap as possible, so we end up getting this same glossy-type image that almost looks cheaply produced. Like you, it drives me nuts.

    1) Eddie was against wearing the jacket, again. He said his character wouldn’t wear this, 30 years later. So it was more producer-pressured. Eddie should’ve gone with his instincts.
    2) Eddie is not a dancing monkey. His laugh was real…and then it became copied, mocked…and a side show for random people to ask him to “perform”. So, he trained himself to stop his 1980’s laugh-DECADES ago.
    3) No one wanted this, or any other nostalgia-bait sequel. However, judging this as stand-alone (…and not a play-by-play comparison to 1984) I gave this a B grade. The first 20 minutes have too much nostalgia-bait and it’s too hacky. Once he arrives in BH, the rhythm changes for the better.
    4) [so-called] “Good cops” can ABSOLUTELY have strained relationships with their kids. That’s VERY realistic.

    thank god I thought I was going mad with everyone else praising it. It's disposable fluff. Where have all the decent cinematographers gone? Beverley Hills Cop 2 had amazing shots in it with direction from Tony Scott. There's nothing like that here. Also did anyone else believe his Daughter was actually his Daughter in this. She came across really flat in this, I don't know what it was but she always seemed to be a little aloof throughout with no real connection to what was going on. Like she was a last minute insert etc

    • @thetalentof
      @thetalentof 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    • @damonappel
      @damonappel 16 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Agreed. And I also thought the casting choice for his daughter was poor. Maybe it's just the way her hair was braided until literally the last scene in the movie. She seemed TOO 'hard' and unlikeable, when the plot purpose of her character in this movie is to (essentially) be a 'damsel in distress'. You never had the feeling she was ever in any danger, and she never really felt like a Foley.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Axel F. I really enjoyed the action, characters, and gags. Besides the look of this Netflix production I think it's on par with the previous films. The Beverly Hill Cop franchise were never all that great. They were your basic over the top, by the numbers, action comedy movies. A character I do miss is inspector Todd played by the late Gilbert Hill. His character gave Beverly Hills Cop a little realism dramatic wise.

    1:21 - 2:12, yeah agree with you 100% here Adam, the original trilogy was also shot in 4k (native 4k) so it's not so much a question of resolution as much as the texture of 35mm just looking far more expensive / glossy and cinematic than the actors-doing-cosplay look of digital that Netflix mandate for all of their productions. It's the same problem that Furiosa, Quiet Place Day One and Horizon have had compared to the Road Warrior, Quiet Place 2 and Open Range and it makes you appreciate how Jeff Nichols, Nolan, Shyamalan, Guadagnino, PTA and Eggers are still making the effort to continue shooting with it right now, even if it's more expensive and adds further shooting days to the schedule. So far I've seen Nicols's The Bikeriders and Guagagnino's Challengers this year and although I had a few issues with some story elements of each, at least visually it was a return to the level of quality you're talking about.

I pretty much share the same feeling for this movie, and I think it's the weakest movie in the franchise. I still think Eddie in his 60s nailed it but the story and the BS with the daughter was so weak. It's a decent watch but the comedy is very safe and don't expect that 80s edge.

      Interesting that you mention Maverick, because that movie is a perfect example of what is missing about Axel F. In Maverick, they had some very similar scenes to the old movie, but commissioned NEW music in the same style and energy of the original film. It made it feel very 'new', even when some of the same story beats hit. Axel F just goes full-on nostalgia and plugs old songs over New scenes. 😢

    You are completely right. I had almost the exact same response to this film, and I couldn't put my finger on what some of my issues were but you managed to express alot of what I took away from it especially how the movie looked. It had that clean digital sheen to it that just made everything look so un cinematic. The hustle and bustle of buildings, clubs, police precincts etc were hugely lacking, I didn't feel that this was an inhabited world, it all felt very staged and minimal. I didn't like how they portrayed Taggart in this, I found the dialogue and the story weak. I was bored by the relationship between axel and his daughter. I don't think family issues fits the tone set by the previous three movies. I barely laughed at any of the jokes. The whole thing was weak to me and it's a shame that Eddie has now appeared in two awful sequels back to back, with this and coming 2 America. It just shows how it's best to leave these things in the past.

    How do you judge the integrity of 3 based on one car chase? As a whole, I believe 4 is better. Add to that, the cameras are digital, but they captured the color temperature of 1 and 2 much better than 3.
    Damn, gotta edit. They cut songs to make them fit in 2 as well. "Shakedown" is chopped to fit the gun spin.

    Was good , could have been better , (number one complaint is that Eddie didn’t bring the LAUGH back)…I know Eddie taught self not to laugh the way he used to. But it was also a very big part of AXELS personality! And I personally think that Eddie should have threw a couple in and would have seemed more like AXEL. That was a huge missed opportunity. If Eddie Murphy laughed his iconic 80s laugh for this movie it would have been HUGE. Even if he doesn’t naturally laugh that way anymore, he is a good enough actor that I have no doubt he could if he wanted to. ….oh and the scene with his daughter in the car with bad guys looked ridiculously fake…. But other than that,I was surprised that they did do a lot of things right too. It wasn’t a complete failure, but if they do get a part 5 maybe they will take notes and make just a little better🙂.

    I’m not a religious man but I do thank God every night that he gave us Bob Gale and Bob Zemeckis. The reason is because incredibly nobody has gotten them to sign off on any anymore Back to the future movies. You just know there’s somebody at Universal Studios that goes to bed every night screaming because of the billions of dollars they are losing because of no BTTF sequels, haha.

    this is mostly getting positive reviews and I don’t get it. I thought it was terrible. the daughter was so boring, she should have been kidnapped till the end instead. Cause Billy and Taggart are pushed aside. they play the OG music over and over, for nostalgia reasons.. hell in the first 10 minutes we get 3 songs. Villain is predictable. A shooter McGavin cameo?! Eddie didn’t seem like his old self. I like part 3, don’t get the hate for it. Why did we need Serge to come back? If he hadn’t returned for 3 then they probably wouldn’t have got him back for this. The violence is all CGI bullet hits, no squibs. Action was nothing new. I wanted to love this, but left disappointed.

    Spot-on review. I'm a bit of an outcast among my friends for calling this a "BHC Greatest Hits", because I guess their standards were set even lower than mine.
    While I appreciate that Murphy still plays Axel F like Axel F, and not some washed-up, bitter old adventurer, and it's perfectly 'watchable', it's very much a limp retread of the original movies, with plot points haphazardly lifted from 1 & 2 and assembled here like a Frankenstein.
    And while I love the original hit songs...I love them in their original movies, not (for example) having Shakedown slapped on top of a new, far less-interesting chase scene. These should've been NEW songs commissioned with the same type of energy and feel.
    And you're also correct about how some scenes fall so flat. For example, I kept wondering if Eddie and the actress who plays his daughter were maybe actually filming their scene in her convertible in a real car on the road. I'm watching it in 4k and Dilby Atmos, but it sounds like they're in a tiny room on a soundstage, even though the image looks very impressive, as if you're 'there'. Very weird, lackluster cinematography for the most of this movie.
    A "Greatest Hits", indeed. Unnecessary, because you've got all the previous 'albums'. --But wait: There's an 'extra unreleased track' that you 'have' to buy it for. 😅

    This could have been good but it was only barely passable and mediocre IMO. It was packed with way too many characters and a barely coherent plot. I mean, I don't really care about the plot so much in these movies but still. Axel, Rosewood and Taggart barely had any screen time together until the very end. Their chemistry and camaraderie is the heart and soul of these movies...at least the first two great ones. I love the first 2 films and they are my default movies to throw on when I want to re-watch something fun and nothing else is on.
    Eddie Murphy hasn't really been funny since the 1980's. He just seems to be an empty shell of his former self and takes himself way too seriously. The 48 Hours, BH Cop, Trading Places and Coming to America Eddie is long gone. This was less of a buddy cop film and more of a Daddy/Daughter duo film. His daughter had way too much screen time and making all of our male heroes from the 1980's basically aging deadbeat dads is something Hollywood writers seem to enjoy doing these days. Well at least the music was pretty good.

    Yeah I had this thought when cameras first started to improve. I first noticed it when I was watching foreign shows and I was like why does everything look so weird there was something off and I couldn’t figure it. And it everything you said there was no film grain everything looked too polished to clear too perfect and life doesn’t look like. Stuff Is dirty life is messy things aren’t perfect and stuff is too perfect too convienant too polished and it seems unauthentic and takes you out of being sucked into the films story and world. Movie companies don’t make movies too be good. The only reason they make movies is to have the contents IP and keep it under their umbrella so they can have as much comtent as possible. Likes that’s why they only buy half a script and then tell the show runner to figure out on the fly and they release whatever bullshit they fart out because making a good film wasn’t on their priority list. Just making a film period so they can keep the intellectual property was. Cause they already have your money from the subscription fee them making this film while ensure all the only ones will stay with them and this was almost a 2 hour commercial disguised as a movie because it just lets you know where to watch the og films and this movie kind of being shut will make you want to rewatch the original.any movie they get from theaters are just a bonus

    Even if I liked Axel F a little more than you Adam, I have to say Kudos. 👍🏼You´re perhaps the only one on YT who talks about my biggest negative point as well. The look of the movie itself. Of course it´s sharp and has nice color reproduction, but the digital flair gives even the practical stuff (like you said) something artificial. Hard to describe. Just look at the directors Adil and Bilall and the Cinematography by Robrecht Heyvaert. They managed to give us the (nearly identical) Michael Bay look from the first two Bad Boys movies. Just that alone did go a long way for me in liking the sequels Ride or Die for Life. 😁With Axel F of course the saying from Predator kept coming up: "You ug.. Mo..!"

    We need to keep some realism. The original films aren't exactly brilliant. Eddie Murphy plays a coked up guy just when cocaine was all the rage. Don't get me wrong I love the films watched one and two many times at the cinemas has a teenager. But they are pretty dated and to be frank boring now. I don't believe in false reverence. I've not seen the new movie but I don't mind the concept at all. Certain films don't really age well. The early aliens films yes Beverly hills cop series not so much. In my view.
