A good movie

I know, it sounds rather blasphemous but, in my opinion, this flick is actually the best installment involving Axel Foley. I'm probably in the minority on this one but, personally, I think it is the best movie in this franchise. Indeed, I think it is better than the first movie which I found actually rather disappointing. I mean, the first installment was a decent feature and they definitely created a nice concept which was perfect for Eddie Murphy’s type of humor. Still, I thought that the flow and pacing were not really great and I was always rather surprised this movie received so much love. Eventually, in my opinion, the sequel offered a better mix of action and humor and it went much more smoothly than the first installment. One of the main critic is that it was rather violent but, in my opinion,  it was actually one of its best assets and it provided a nice contrast between the humor provided by Eddie Murphy and the darker violent moments. To conclude, obviously, it is still not a masterpiece whatsoever but, in spite of its poor reputation, I thought it was a really entertaining flick and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Tony Scott’s work.
