Beverly Hills Cop

Pros: brilliant acting and improvisation, funny as hell
Cons: poor quality transfer in spots

Long before Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer became synonymous with summer blockbuster and high-action films, they produced Beverly Hills Cop, an action/comedy flick that became a vehicle to showcase Eddie Murphy's comedic talent outside ...

Pros: -----
Cons: -----

There's no way I couldn't review this. It was one of the biggest films of the 80's starring one of the biggest comedians of the 80's and probably one film more than any other that really put producers Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson on the ...

Pros: Eddie Murphy, Dialog, Supporting Cast, Score, Action
Cons: They need to make more movies this good

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) "I'm a business man. That's my thing. Doin business." Axel Foley Beverly Hills Cop is a great buddy cop movie that set the tone for so many knock offs, clones, and rip-offs that it doesn't seem to have ...

Pros: Very funny, great performances, story
Cons: Very few

With the recent flop The Adventures of Pluto Nash, and probable end of Eddie Murphy's acting career, I thought it was time to go back and remember that time in the 1980's when Murphy was at his best, having the spunk and energy that had been...

Pros: Eddie Murphey as the lead, some genuine moments
Cons: Aside from the comedy and the cast, everything else is pretty hollow

"Beverly Hills Cop" is from a time when cop/buddy movies were less about action and more about the many laughs it could try to think of. There were others before it, but none managed to stand out enough to tweak the formula. Some shootouts and car chases...

Pros: fun, action comedy with Eddie Murphy at his best
Cons: Bad sequels

I remember Beverly Hills Cop as a great movie but I hadn't seen it since the theaters back in 1984. Like a lot of things I enjoyed back then, I had a mix of trepidation and excitement watching this film again. Would it be as good as I remember? Or...

Pros: Funny, good action, decent plot
Cons: ok, it was done in the 80's...

I made a comment in my review of Back To The Future that the 80's were a horrible time for movies and I got hollered at for it. In general, I still believe the 80's were horrible, with a few exceptions. Beverly Hills Cop just happens to be one of those...

Pros: Great action sequences, hilarious moments
Cons: Beggars can't be choosers

I was watching Dr. Dolittle a couple days ago and thought to myself, This isn't an Eddie Murphy movie. So I rented Beverly Hills Cop and watched it for the first time in a couple years. Let me tell you, this is an Eddie Murphy movie -- smartass, crude...

Pros: hillarious

This is truly a great comedy movie. i was on the floor laughing from the moment the movie began. My friend recomended the movie to me when i said i have never seen the movie they said that you are crazy and you must go out and rent the movie. I took...

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: Idea can never be done again

I don't know how much I'd categorize this as an action film rather than a comedy. It's probably the best one out of the series. I could say it's the usual movie where one police detective has his own personal vendetta, and manages to attain revenge...

Pros: It's excellent
Cons: none

I love this film! I don't think that there is anything wrong with it. It's perfect. i watched this film because my friend decided to bring it round on my sleepover. It is about Eddie Murphy a detective who goes on a search for his best friend's, who is a...

Pros: Eddie Murphy's best! Great script and cast making a hilarious action thriller!

This movie has a great blend of action and comedy. Eddie Murphy truly made this movie. Him as Axel Foley, a foul mouth, brilliant detective from Detroit, is a perfect fit. Furthermore, this movie is completed by a great script and hilarious supporting...

Pros: Eddie Murphy, script, cast
Cons: none

This movie combines witty, smart writing with great actors, and a good plot. What more you can ask for in an action comedy. Eddie Murphy is at his comedic best in this film.

The quality that sells this movie the most is the comedic chemistry...

Pros: He's hilarious in this movie.
Cons: Needed to be longer

I saw this movie when it first came out and loved it. Eddie Murphy is one of my favorite actors of all time. He can act so well. He is so funny. I've seen almost all of his movies and have thoroughly enjoyed all that I've seen.
He plays a police...
