This has landed the film the second-highest score of the franchise, though it still doesn't come close to the first instalment's impressive score of 83%.
So it's no surprise that, in Digital Spy’s review of the new sequel, we said it "fails to recapture the magic of the first movie".
"It has plenty of fan service and, at best, will be a diverting Netflix watch for fans if you just want to see Axel do his thing again. If nothing else, it's also not as bad as the third movie," our review continues.
"But for the most part, all Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F does with its numerous callbacks is remind you that you could be watching the far superior first movie instead."

Here’s what some of the other critics have been saying:
"While Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F isn't terrible, and it does have a few funny zings plus one decent chase scene, there's not a molecule of originality on display. One can't help but call it a missed opportunity."
