It was dumb fun. And Axel’s daughter was pure smoke.

Best part of Murphy doing this movie is The Movie Channel showing Trading Places, and both 48 Hour movies regularly this month..

plot was ok.
Understatement....Halfway in Foley tries to get a hotel room at the Beverly Hills Hotel by doing a bit like in the original and then finally says frick it, I'm too tired, do you have a room available?
Lame plots are typical of reunion movies, the plot is ancillary, just to get the gang back together again. I don't think I'd ever watch it again but it was fun to go back and roll down memory lane. But if this was a stand alone flick with no history or nostalgia references? There's no there there.
And like Axel, I sort of got tired watching it.

what a terrible movie. Such an obvious money grab for all of these over the hill actors. Eddie looks more like Ray from Life than Axel Foley.

Saw it last night and really enjoyed it. Had the same charm and feel as the past ones. Eddie Murphy was good. Also good to see JGL is still alive.

Must suck if you cant enjoy a fun, nostalgic movie like this.

The movie was made really well. They were all very old and it was odd. Wish they made this movie 8 years ago. But still, good job.

What exactly were you expecting?
All in all, it was fine. Some 80s cheese sprinkled in to modern writing. And I’m guessing that’s what most people had a problem with because of the cheese.
To make up for it, I enjoyed the younger “kids” dynamic basically rendering his
antics old and out of date. He was fine for a distraction, but in the original movies, all of it worked. None of it does anymore. That’s where his kids came in and made him look just that. Old and needs to retire.
Decent for what it was supposed to be. A throwback for nostalgic purposes.

I just saw it tonight. It was 30 minutes too long. Too much of the daddy daughter shite. Huge fan of the original. It was too "netflixed". I won't say I wasted my time watching it, but it's not a watch-againer and I wouldn't recommend it to any friends. It's a really shitty movie. I think they let AI write this. It is devoid of soul. It simply checked boxes, and not in a DEI way necessarily. Although that is there too.

Just watched it. It was a lot better than I expected. Thought it was worth the time and enjoyed it. Definetly better than the 3rd movie.

I thought Taggert was early 50s in the first one.

I watched it the other night. The plot was thin but passable enough for what it was - a chance to see what Axel, Billy and Taggart are up to along with a few other old timers. Bringing back the old music, scenes and call backs to the old jokes was great.
I thought JGL and the daughter Jane added to the movie without taking it over - and for comparison sake I’ll add that I watched the new Ghostbusters right after that was probably a “better” story and movie, but I didn’t enjoy nearly as much because I didn’t see enough of Peter, Ray and Winston who I cared about.
The scene at the motel got a good laugh from me, as did the donkey reference to onions.
