Absolutely awful. A complete waste of time. If Murphy was so hard up for a reunion, you should have just done something like Oprah... The music was all from the second movie and helped to make the movie seem even more out of date than it already was. Eddie Murphy still has something to offer but he needs to stop rehashing the past. He's not the same Eddie Murphy. He's matured. What made Axel Foley such an interesting character was is immaturity. Just like Arnold and Sylvester the time for such movies and characters has been and gone. Just as their shows on Netflix and Hulu were abysmally horrible, not to mention the lackluster movies for the last 20 years. Trying to pass themselves off as anything but old, which it is painfully obvious that they are. Axel Foley follows suit and buries the legacy of the first movie even further into the ground. A better story would have been to have done something in the failed city of Detroit. They should have just dropped the whole Beverly hills cop thing and focused on Axel Foley and his life after. Didn't care about any of the characters in this movie. And bringing back relics like Reinhold just made things even worse. An actor who got off the fame train somewhere in the 80s because he thought he was better than he actually was and had no problem letting others know it. It took you 40 years to bring a franchise whose only really good movie was the first one to a horrible and unwanted ending. I predict, as optimistic as Murphy is about making number five, it won't happen. If it does he has nowhere else to go but down even further. And I doubt anybody who even gleaned number four will want to sit through that and watch it happen.

A fitting tale to end the journey of the greatest detective ever known. The film's message should read as such; For anyone who has been lost and did not even know it... It is never too late to be found.

Just what the doctor ordered. Just wish they could have added a couple of hours to each episode...

Had all of the elements and none of the chemistry, especially between Pattison & Kravitz. My alphabetical rating is a firm P U. I wouldn't take my kids to watch this movie. They're not going to want to see it. I totally get that they made this for adults but what's the point?? If it doesn't touch the kid in you then it's not Batman. There does come a point when realism can take away from a movie. It's Batman for Christ's sake! I should be able to walk out of the theater after this movie with a little bit of wonder. I was more depressed then when I went in ...

If I could give another half-star, I would. The film was able to carry the Dark Horse tone exceptionally well. Would like to see the studio go all-in on a sequel. The next one could be epic, given half-a-chance.
