BEVERLY HILLS COP II(1987):

Another good outing for Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold
and John Ashton! In this one Axel returns to help his
friends investigate the shooting of their captain! While
not quite up to the first movie's excellence, this still is
better than a lot of movies made now-a-days! A-

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Beverly Hills Cop 2 is a fantastic movie with a very good
storyline and a really funny cast and characters.It certainly
isn't as good as the first Beverly Hills Cop but its still a
very enjoyable and fresh sequel.My biggest problem is that
the effort with a good storyline wasn't as impressive this
time around,what't there is enjoyable,but a lot of the movie
is Axel Foley messing around and doing unprofessional or
illegal things,but all the stuff he was doing was just too
funny to bother me that much,but they still could have
made more effort with a storyline.Like the first,the music
is fantastic and the cast are as great as ever.Its certainly
not as good as the first Beverly Hills Cop,but Beverly Hills
Cop 2 has enough comedy and action to keep the fans
entertained.

Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) must return to the Beverly
Hills police force to help his old friends investigate the
shooting of their chief. - Dillon Harris

BEVERLY HILLS COP III(1994)

The lesser of the three BHCs, but still a decent movie!
A lot less comedy, this really misses John Ashton(John
Taggart), and there is very little interplay between
Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold, which was another
strike against this! Decent enough story, but it just
didn't flow as well as the first two! B

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Eddie Murphy's third outing as Detroit police detective
Axel Foley who seems to have made more of a crime
fighting contribution to Beverly Hills still generates some
power in the series but the first two films are naturally
the better ones. The film inexplicably removes the John
Taggart (John Ashton) and Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox)
characters from the series and adds a shallow new
character named John Flint (Hector Elizondo).
Fortunately, Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) is still
around and he still manages to be a perfect foil for
Foley. Foley's third case in Beverly Hills is a little
improbable but the action scenes help to make up
for the plot which has to do with Foley matching wits
with a corrupt head of security (Timothy Carhart) at
a popular Beverly Hills amusement park called WonderWorld
(a creation of Paramount Parks). The park character
costumes and designs are nice and colorful and Theresa
Randle helps to pick things up as a potential love interest
for Foley but the film doesn't give Murphy very many
funny lines and that is a disappointment if one wants
to label this film as a comedy. The action is as usual
great but Murphy is reknowned as a comedy star and
the lack of laughs here prevent this from being a perfect
series. Still, it's a very good series. - soranno
