What do you do when your career is sagging? If youre Eddie Murphy, you make a sequel off of an earlier hit! Beverly Hills Cop 3 has an interesting beginning. Eddie Murphys boss is shot during a drug bust. Murphy witnesses the car driving away and makes it his mission to track him down. Similar to the plot from the first movie, but effective none the less. Beverly Hills Cop 3 really gets bad when it chooses the major setting: an amusement park. An amusement park actually could have been a decent setting for a comedic action movie. A shoot out on the bumper cars, a tunnel of love playing porno videos, and a haunted house with real traps. [e.n.- Make sure that you don't make any comedic-action movies that take place in a theme park, because it would suck.] However, Beverly Hills Cop 3 instead decides to present several poorly directed action sequences with only occasional bits from Judge Reinhold. The action sequences suck, the comedy is not in this movie, and the music is awful. Beverly Hills Cop 3 is one of the worst sequels ever made. I give Beverly Hills Cop 3 * out of ****. |
