dworldeater Review of Beverly Hills Cop III

Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)

A departure from the other two films, but still a decent watch

[6/10 · 5 April 2024]

In my opinion the first and second Beverly Hills Cop movies are flawless. The first one was more of a comedy and the second one more of a action flick. The third film lacks Bogomile and Taggart who were part of the core of the film(,along with Rosewood). Judge Reinhold does return as Rosewood, but is not the same without Taggart and Bogomile. Also, a lackluster script and some kind of forced, goofy humor that doesn't always land. Eddie is still Eddie, but compared to the other two films, he is about half of what he once was. It's cool to see John Saxon as a heavy and a funny cameo from George Lucas. I remember not liking this that much when this came out, but over the years I warmed up to Beverly Hills Cop 3 a little bit. This is not of the top tier undisputed classic quality of the other two films, but it's far from terrible and does have it's moments of brilliance. Overall, it's a decent watch. I hope the new Beverly Hills Cop is better than this. However, if it's about as good as this, it's worth checking out for sure.
