Review of Beverly Hills Cop III (1994) by Chris M — 06 Sep 2009
Not as bad as people are saying but easily the weakest in the trilogy.
Typical Beverly Hills Cop action and mayhem ensues in this fun sequel but humor is clearly lost this time around. The funny parts aren't that funny at all but do, at best, give you something to smile at. However, concentrating more on action wasn't such a bad decision here and it more than makes up for the lackluster comedy. One great scene is set on a malfunctioning ferris wheel type of ride and there are lots more scenes like this to enjoy.
John Landis directed well and Eddie Murphey plays the role he was born to play as good as he had in the previous films. It is a shame that Judge Reinhold was underused this time around, and that the Taggart character wasn't used at all.
Fun but not really funny, Beverly Hills Cop 3 is a great way to kill time but doesn't deliver like the other two.
