Critics Consensus

Eddie Murphy remains appealing as the wisecracking Axel Foley, but Beverly Hills Cop II doesn't take him -- or the viewer -- anywhere new enough to justify a sequel.

Video Review

Any comedy [as] good [as Beverly Hills Cop] warrants a better follow-up than this, and I can’t understand why audiences didn’t feel cheated by this second-rate retread.

Rated: 1/4

It’s possible Scott felt he had nothing to work with. The film’s plot, such as it is, barely exists...

Rated: 2/4

Why do filmmakers try to improve on the original with louder music, bigger stunts, grosser situations? Such questions come to mind on viewing Beverly Hills Cop II, Paramount's attempt to renew its 1985 gold mine.

Casey's Movie Mania

[For] all the recycled themes and storytelling beats, it’s hard to deny Tony Scott’s signature visual prowess injected into this sequel. The movie also benefits from higher stakes, better action set pieces and a killer soundtrack.

Rated: 3.5/5

... "Beverly Hills Cop II" should feel like more of the same, yet it still manages to become its own story.

The heat is on again but the humor isn't.

Muito do mesmo do primeiro filme mas não tão bom. Mesmo assim consegue manter o carisma das personagens.

Though the 2nd movie still has some Eddie charm, the plot is riddled with holes and inconsistency and the villains are incredibly forgettable.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
