This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Purely Joyful Movie!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Brilliant and touching

I don't know what I expected when I started watching this movie, but I was definitely let down by miles. First of all the dialogue is so bad and cheese, that it sometimes physically hurt to watch. The killing in this movie just takes away from the comedy , and believe me there is loads of killing it. Another negative factor is, that for some unexplainable reason someone thought it was a good idea to make every flame in this movie a bright blue colour, which sometimes really hurts while watching in a dark room. That being said there are some scenes that I found genuinely funny, although most of the time this was unintentional like in action scenes or scenes that where supposed to be serious and dramatic.

Axle Foley (Eddie Murphy) is in charge of a car theft ring take down but doesn't call in SWAT. They confront some heavily armed killers who just massacred the crew. His beloved boss Inspector Todd (Gilbert R. Hill) is killed. Secret service agent Steve Fulbright (Stephen McHattie) stops him from catching the bad guy. Some evidences point to Wonder World in LA owned by Uncle Dave Thornton (Alan Young). Axel goes out to California to reunite with Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) who has a new partner in Jon Flint (Héctor Elizondo). Axel gets into a shootout at Wonder World and even rescues a couple of kids. Ellis De Wald (Timothy Carhart) is the head of park security who Axle immediately recognizes as the man who killed Todd. Flint is a fan of De Wald and doesn't believe Axel. Uncle Dave tells Axel about some suspicious things and Janice (Theresa Randle) tries to help him.The story is pretty stupid and the amusement park setting is really silly. I guess it's suppose to be subversive somehow. Instead, it just diminishes the movie's edginess and realism. It makes everything look cheesy especially with George Lucas making a cameo. Bronson Pinchot's Serge makes one of the strangest career change ever and it adds even more to the cheese factor. Eddie Murphy is still the same charismatic guy and it's nice to have Judge Reinhold back. However this one misses John Ashton and Ronny Cox. It also misses some sense of realistic action.

Once again, Axel's back in Beverly Hills, a place that he may as well just move to since he's always doing his job there instead of where he actually should be. And again, he's there to investigate a fatal attack on a friend of his. Taggert and Bogomil are nowhere to be seen, which is a shame because those two characters were great, and the only actors to reprise their roles for this installment were Eddie Murphy himself as Axel, Gil Hill as the always angry, always loud-but-somehow-not- obnoxious Inspector G. Douglas Todd, and Judge Reinhold as Rosewood.Despite these absences, the movie works surprisingly well on its own, though even at its best, it's the worst in the trilogy. But that's not to say this movie isn't fun, because it is. It's understandable why fans would hate this movie, and honestly I'd expected to hate it too, but I wasn't disappointed at all.Axel is in Beverly Hills, once again against orders from the cops in Detroit AND Beverly Hills, to investigate the murderer of his now-dead superior officer, which leads him to Wonder World. Wonder World is like a discount Disneyland that serves as a cover for a counterfeiting operation.It's the most generic and flawed of the three, and it stays true to the formula the first two followed without being bold enough to try something different, but for what it is, it's still enjoyable and doesn't deserve as much hate as people have thrown at it since its release.Give it a shot. It's a love it or hate it thing, I guess. I liked it.

(46%) The first was a good fun action comedy, the second was more hard edged and stylish; very 1980's, this though isn't really anything. The very kid friendly theme park setting doesn't go with the R-rated script because the makers didn't (or couldn't) do anything with it that's really all that inventive or smart to get past the issue. It's also very much a movie that ticks boxes as it goes along. Shoot outs, tick, wise ass Eddie, tick, generic bad guy, tick, it's all just a little tired and worn. That said it's not awful, as it passes the time decently, but overall it's still a lazy sequel made entirely to cash grab from past success.
