Three great movies........2007-06-19

I like Beverly Hills cop. All three of the movies. They are all so well written and show off Eddy Murphys sharp, fast wit and comedy. Normally when you have a movie with a comedian there just ok in the script area and even worse in the acting. Well the storys in all three movies are well written and will keep your attention during the entire thing. And Eddy Murphy is pretty good at acting. I allways get a feeling of the 80s when I see this movie. I was born in 85 and it just makes me feel good watching them. So if you in the mood for a good, funny, well acted and written movie I must say, buy away.

Third time is not quite the charm for Eddie Murphy's Axel Foley when he heads for L.A. once again to avenge a friend's murder. This time he's off to the Disneyesque WonderWorld, apparently the most hazardous theme park in America despite an army of shady security agents. John Landis directed Murphy in his first film hit, Trading Places, and would seem a good match for this mix of action and comedy, but his sense of fun only emerges in a few scenes (chubby mechanics do a gymnastic Blues Brothers number to a Diana Ross tune) and his action direction is sloppy and shockingly violent. It seems wrong for the comic tone, and Murphy should have his foul mouth washed out with soap. On the plus side, Bronson Pinchot returns as Serge and all but upstages Murphy in two brief but hilarious scenes. --Sean Axmaker

Beverly Hills Cop III.......2007-02-02

Beverly Hills Cop III~ Eddie Murphy is not a terrible movie. Then again if you compare this sequel to the two first movies then one must say that it is a disappointment. Eddie Murphy is not nearly as funny as in the first two movies and the script is half lame as if they had run out of ideas. The plot is paper thin, and a total hoot compared to the two previous movies. Man, I was really looking forward to watching this movie after having seen the two other movies. This is a mediocre movie at best and gets the 2 stars that it deserves. Not recommended.

"Are you going to work with Eddie Murphy again?" Asked to John Landis by someone at the 1992 Fangoria Convention. "I hope not," Landis replied. Now keep in mind this was in reference to them working together in "Coming to America," not this film. I have no idea why they teamed up together again, because the evidence from this film shows they must have really disliked one another even more. Look at this film and then look at "Trading Places," their first collaboration and you can begin to see the differences. I thought with this third "Beverly Hills Cop," Landis was going to support the story adaquately, then for the action scenes show his wild spirit (ala the ending sequences of "Animal House," "American Werewolf," and "Blues Brothers"), and for the comedy, roll two to three cameras and let Eddie play with each scene. If Landis could give Michael Jackson room to do what he wanted in the "Black or White" video, why not let Eddie do what he does best instead of forcing his character and us the audience through a bunch of painfully unfunny scenes, terrible acting, and a tv movie look? Sure it looks better on dvd than it did in the theatres, but that is still no excuse for betraying the core of this series. If it had tried to do something different and been successful, this film would be liked much more. The reason why it is so hated is because the film has no pulse or soul--something I never thought possible for John Landis or Eddie Murphy.
Both men are capable of great things but lord have mercy on this film and give everyone their two hours back.

Classic Eddie Murphy.......2006-06-27

This movie is not as good as the first three movies, probably because it follows a bit of the same formula from the first two. Even so, it is a good movie. Rosewood and Serge rejoin Foley as all crimes in Detroit seem to lead to Southern California. Detective Taggert is replaced, which is a shame since his replacement does not seem to have the same chemistry the three main characters had in the first movie. Even so, it is definitely worth owning if you enjoyed the first two in the series.

BAD.......2005-07-21

Beverly Hills Cop III is the last installment in an awesome trilogy where nonstop laughter and action occurs. The first 2 are classics and the original is especially a definite must see.
But, this one isn't at all as good as the first two. But....
THe movie is fairly descent with some ok action and funny moments but there aren't enough funny moments and the action is cheesy. Plus the whole movie basically takes place in a theme park. Yeah, a place like Disneyland called Wonderworld. So, I was sitting down, listening to some stupid theme song go off every second. I was about to rip my hair out. I mean, it was annoying. Also, R rated movies shouldn't take place in a theme park! It just seemed too babyish. On top of it, it's just such a dissapointment to me because the first 2 were classic and this one was a horrible end to the trilogy. If you watch this without watching the first 2, you'll like it better than me. And for those of you giving it 4 or 5 stars, come on! THe Wonderworld setting alone screwed it over!
Watch the first 2 and act like this doesn't even exist because even though it isn't the worst movie ever, it is a horrid end to the trilogy and an affront to the first two.

Not bad, but doesn't live up to the other two movies.......2005-07-04

BHC 3 is a pretty good movie, it's just that this movie doesn't fit how the others were made. First, the movie is about Axel Foley back to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of his boss Inspector Todd. Its ends up making him go to an amusement park Wonderworld (Paramounts Great America) to find the killers. When I watched it for the first time, I thought it was decent. The stunts like the jumping around the ferris wheel were cool. I like how the fact they used rides at parks that are popular to do with the scenes like the rendition of the Earthquake ride at the Universal Studios and the Kindom of the Dinosaurs at Knotts Berry Farm. Rosewood is back, but that's it.

Some of the things that made this movie disappointing was the use of an amusement park for a R rated film. Most likely if amusement parks are associated, it would be a family film. This type of setting does not appeal to the fans of previous BHC's. the plot was mediocre, not any real good suspense. The annoying aspect was the stupid music in the background of Wonder World, if music were to play at a real theme park everyone would be very mad.

Plus the most important of all, the absence of Taggart (John Aston) and Bogomil (Ronny Cox). I think Part 2 was the best because Taggart and Rosewood teamed up with Foley to solve the cases. Thats what made the series great. The chemistry of the laughs and adventures were what made the previous films funny. This film is so-so on the comedy. Axel Floey however doesn't do the funny ab-lib like in the other ones.

This is a great film to add to your collection of BHC movies, but it may not be your favorite, due to absences in characters.
