- Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel Movie Critics Review beverly Hills Cops
Movie reviews and ratings by former Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert and former Chicago Tribune movie critic Gene Siskel.
Revisit as they share thoughts on the best films of their era. From the best movies of the 1980s 1990s and 2000s to now, housed here are a collection of film trailers, reviews, and movie previews for you to enjoy. We’ll see you at the movies.
Considering the film was written for Sly Stallone, it's impressive it turned out as good as it did with Murphy in the lead. They should give his charisma and comedic skills more credit.
Actually it wasn't written for Stallone. Sly wrote a script for BHC which was a much darker thriller but the studio rejected it. They wanted something light and comedic. Rumor has it that his movie COBRA was the original script he wrote for BHC. I'm not sure if that's true but it seems to make sense.
What
IMO, Beverly Hills Cop, the first one, was hilarious, in spite of these guys’ opinions. I don’t often disagree completely with them, but this picture, even if it’s just a set up for Eddie to be goofy, is extremely entertaining.
They are making fourth one it will be on Netflix.
@@DerekBoldiene360it will surely be trash like most other tries at redoing old stuff.
They are wrong here. This was a good 80s comedy
They're right about the ending, though. But I tend to agree with you!
They were waaaaaaaaaaay off the scale with this one, Beverly Hills Cop is a real action comedy classic and while Beverly Hills Cop II was very good, Beverly Hills Cop III was very disappointing.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm in total agreement.I love Roger Ebert and he is right lots of times. But he is way way way off on this one. This movie turned into one of the greatest quality comedies of all time. And everybody's pretty much in agreement about one of the top comedies ever is Beverly Hills. Wow, did they get it wrong. Saying that this movie is not not one of the greatest comedies of all time is like saying The Godfather is not one of the greatest drama movies of all time
I am going to prove you're right far as part 1 by watching this again, been decades since last.
So first 2 are good 3rd one is trash? Howcome?
Its an opinion? Stop repeating the same thing thats been echoed bu 1500 other people in this comment section
Very far off the mark.
A very well written and well directed movie that balances all the elements.
Agreed, this is STILL a great movie.
They were way off on this.
Whenever my spouse and I wanted to see a movie we always read Ebert reviews. If he gave it a “thumbs down” we’d go see the movie! BHC was incredibly funny! The scene with Serge is laugh out loud funny and the beginning truck chase is hilarious.
"Go 'head, take those bananas" I just love acts of kindness 😁 One of my favorite parts of life!
Could of said it with more masculinity.
Keenen Ivory Wayans?
@@justayoutuber1906 damon wayans. Hes doing men on film voice & attitude from in living color
@@swagstar6306 I dont think he could. You pinch him with a needle he ll bleed rinbow.
@@swagstar6306 I see the joke in that scene missed you completely.
Gene: "I don't think he can direct an action picture, based on this."
What was Martin Brest's next movie? Midnight Run, one of the very best action comedies ever made. Whoops.
Yeah, that was a mistaken statement. Midnight Run was terrific and Siskel and Ebert both liked that a lot.
@@cliffordshafran9250 As much as I respect these guys, they can be complete ignoramuses with statements like this. Then again, not all of their reviews will turn out gold, so it's really no surprise for me that they can turn out reviews like this.
Midnight Run is terrible.
@@FirstNameLastName-kt3zn You NEED to watch it again then. 'Midnight Run' is GOLD-a certified classic.
No FUCKING way is that movie terrible...sheesh.
Siskel & Ebert had no idea about movies.
Oh come on guys, Beverly Hills cop was fun and great
I wonder what they thought when this film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen.
Probably the same thoughts when Richard Price was nominated for Color of Money which they said the screenplay was terrible
I think they were both off the mark on this one but I have to say Academy Awards don't mean much since the Academy is just a bunch of people who work in the industry, so basically a popularity contest.
They both named it the worst nomination of the year in their "If We Picked the Winners" special.
Really ? Eddie Murphy was the only good thing about Beverly Hills Cop.
This movie is hilarious 😂 I love Eddie Murphy 🧡 In my opinion this movie is a 80's classic. I love this movie big time 🎬 My Mom is not a big Eddie Murphy fan. She my brother and I watched it and we loved it🧡🧡🧡🧡
S&E Were wrong then and they continue to be wrong in hindsight. Beverly Hills cop is a great film that still stands up today.
@Funk O'Matic Ok, on THAT POINT, I have to agree with you. 'Ghostbusters' is overacted, and tho it has a few GREAT one liners, isn't worth watching again and again imo. BHC is great fun, also with A LOT of great one liners, but EM nails it, and the supporting cast and action are terrific and still watchable in 2019 (and will be in 2020).
I quite like Ghostbusters too.
Not better than Ghostbusters. Not even close.
@Funk O'Matic Eddie Murphy
At the time they thought it was a dumb movie because it had a black guy in it
Broad and obvious is what makes it work. I hope it continues to hold up.
This is one of those ... I agree with almost everything they're saying, but I still like the movie. I've seen it maybe 20 times, a guilty pleasure if you will. Probably due to the individual elements that are endearing. The handful of classic Eddie moments, Serge and his espresso with a lemon twist, Billy expressing concern for Taggart's bowels, the "Super Cop" story, and the music is great. But sure, the story is boilerplate.
One of my favourite Eddie Murphy films, Siskel & Ebert way off this one.
Just watched this for the first time, it was a delight. Came to see what they thought, and was immediately confronted by "the streetwise black from Detroit". Thanks Rog! Keepin' classic, 80s-style.
This is one of the best comedy’s ever! Don’t care what they think.
im honestly a little surprised by that review.FIRST because it was a MASSIVE success and even today is still a massive pop culture reference, plus i thought everyone liked it. SECOND because i could have sworn i just watched their review of part two a few weeks ago and they had said things like it has none of the charm of the first film, and they talked about how Judge Rinhold was given more material because people liked his character so much in the first one.
Wow, yeah they were just not in tune with the zeitgeist of the moment apparently...
Well it looks like time has proven that Siskel & Ebert's review of Beverly Hills Cop was totally wrong. Despite all their claims about the comedy being to "over the top" and the action being nothing but "stock" audiences across generations clearly disagree with both of them. This is what makes art so subjective. Siskel & Ebert at times completely forget how to have fun at the movies simply because it's their job to examine films.
Beverly Hills Cop is a surprisingly fresh, funny and exciting action comedy. All the actors in the film know exactly how to play their characters and how to set the tone of the film. It's gritty yet playful. It's crude yet heart warming. It's low brow but high class all at the same time. It's a total fish out of water story with a very interesting twist that's never boring. The soundtrack absolutely jams and even has an instrumental theme song that is so memorable it's become a flash point for an entire ere. Beverly Hills Cop is one of the greatest action comedies ever made and it's rather embarrassing that two of the most respected film critics were completely wrong about it.
My God… how wrong were they on this one 🤦… this movie is a masterpiece action comedy film.
All of Eddie’s antics in the first BHCop are on point 👌. From the Rolling Stone cover to the banana in the tailpipe. This is the 2nd best film he ever made after Trading Places.
Coming to America tied with Trading Places for 2nd best imo
Willie Taggart No doubt, all 3 of those are his best movies.
The Rolling Stone bit at the hotel was the worst part of the picture. It was unoriginal, over done and there's no way a hotel clerk would fall for that old trick (at worst she would have called for the manager). The rest of the movie was good.
It's as if Ebert didn't watch the movie. The people at the hotel didn't have attitudes at all, they were as nice as could be. It's just a funny scene where Foley uses his street smarts to get what he needs.
Exactly!
There is definitely a Zeitgeist to this movie it was the right movie for the right time for Eddie there's problems with it but it's still very over the top comedy and his snide dry wit, was charming
Beverly Hills Cop is a great classic
The 2nd biggest hit of 1984, after Ghostbusters. I think if any mark was missed it was their opinion. I think it was subtle....it's not like nowadays when films about different races interacting are extremely exaggerated and exploitative. Like Eddie Murphys latest, the godawful Netflix "You People." This was just about a concerned friend who happened to be a cop investigating the murder if his close friend. Race had little to do with how he got along with everyone, he just did. Maybe that's how it was in the 80s before the media divided us even more. This movie is no A, but definitely entertaining and gets a B grade from me.
I liked the first two BHC, but the third was laughably bad.
Making the 3rd BHC film PG-13 instead of rated R...setting it in a theme park, and taking Taggart(John Ashton) out of the film were all bad ideas. The great chemistry between the 3 buddy cops was part of the magic of the first 2 films.
They are right about everything they said, but every bit of that also seems like expecting too much out of a movie that was made to get as many asses in the seats as possible, which it did.
This movie is damn great and I hope they got into it on a second viewing...
It's great to see how many times one or both of them got it wrong.
@GoodRiddanceGooglePlus No it's the joy of hindsight that makes me right. Is it my opinion that Roger got it wrong when he gave a thumbs down to Apocalypse Now, which he eventually admitted to?
@GoodRiddanceGooglePlus Actually It was a good film when it was released. It wasn't a huge success by accident and some films are more appreciated with age. Blade Runner is a perfect example.
What's embarrassing was their pathetic ability to evaluate great movies like this one.
If they did their research, they would've known that the movie had all that action because Sly Stallone was original to be Axel Foley.
BHC was well made. Eddie Murphy was in his prime (and idk if there was anybody better) and the music was iconic. However, rewatched it recently and was surprised how dull it was. Take Murphy out and there’s not much to it. Casting him is what i think made it work. Loved it at the time, but it’s overrated imo.
I'm telling you beverly hills cop would've been even more dull and mediocre at best if it had Richard Pryor in it instead of the vastly superior Eddie Murphy
Yes it is very dull and simple, but some of the women are pretty.
@@jeahavvalentin980 Eddie Murphy has that trademark voice.
@Fred Could you imagine how good BHC could have been, if they had taken the time to write a better script with more interesting situations for Eddie Murphy's character to shine in? I agree with you. Murphy could have been an Oscar winning actor, but he just never got the opportunity to star in great movies after 48 Hours and Trading Place.
Classic movie. They were way off on this one.
is ther supposed to be audible?
It's on the right channel.
They were definitely off on this review.
This film is flawless.
I kind of get what they're saying BUT it's a comedy lol. Comedies don't usually go for deep social commentary angle. It's dumb fun and it worked for what it was. BHC II however wasn't as good... There were a lot of weird cuts with traffic accidents AND the character of Billy changed in a very unnatural way in my opinion. If in the first he was kind of a shy square in the second he was kind of dumb, gun thirsty weirdo and was acting way too over the top... it's fine for what it was but felt unnatural for how the character was initially set up. It's still a fun watch though... don't remember III all that well
I just think it's a fun movie, yeah everything in this movie is basic, but Eddie Murphy holds it together.
Wow, way, way off with this review. While Siskel and Ebert are usually right about most reviews but they were very wrong with Beverley Hills Cop. It's one of my favourite movies of all time and most definitely one my favourite Eddie Murphy movies. While the first and second movies I feel were great, the third was a real let down and probably the reason they never made a 4th.
My right ear loved this review.
I loved these guys back in the day , but sometimes when they miss , they miss big time. Beverly Hills Cop is a classic. Smh
Nooooooooooo waaaaaaaaayy. The line to see this went around the corner.. It is ROUTINE come to think of it but it is a PHENOMENON!!!!!
Popularity doesn't equate to quality. This is just bad... basically Eddie Murphy overdoing Eddie Murphy in LA.
@@squatch570 NO, the FIRST BHC is gold, but (I'll admit) the sequels got worse and worse.....and worse....
Have they no sense of humor? They need to suspend their low brow sense of high-mindedness. There's incalculable magic in Beverly Hills Cop.
@ledzeppelin711 Excellent use of words: "they didn't know what they had"! That is actually true for many of Siskel's and Ebert's reviewes. You can see that on how their perspective was altered over the decades!
Well, although I liked the first BHC more than S & E, I do agree with a few of their points (such as the first scene they showed). Plus, they sort of forecasted Eddie's eventual downfall, especially Gene. In his Tribune article, Gene pointed out that creating Eddie Murphy Productions was a mistake. And he was right. Eddie was starting to get an ego arleady, and it got worse in a lot of his next several projects, especially the bad sequels to BHC and 48 Hrs.
Man, they rarely like anything.....I'd hate to see what they think of the garbage coming out today in theaters.
When I saw this review of Beverly Hills Cop when it was aired, I decided to go see the picture anyway because I liked the director Marty Brest's previous work and watched him work many times at NYU when he was a film student (and thought he was great back then), and also liked all the stars of the film. But because of this review, I went in with very low expectations. All the seats were filled, likely because most were thinking with a cast like Beverly Hills Cop, how bad could it be? Well, the picture turned out to be the exact opposite of what Siskel and Ebert were saying this picture was. Everybody in the audience had a blast and were riveted to their seats throughout. It was funny, moving, and exciting. In the end, I knew the film was going to be a big hit. And it was. It still resonates today. It's that good.
Uh, it's Beverly Hills Cop, singular.
I avoided this movie for years after seeing the previews and this review (I saw Amadeus instead, yeah!) But eventually I saw it on video at was pleasantly surprised (except for the stupid hotel scene). Seen it twice now. Not that S and E were wrong, but it was better than that.
Wow you're the most dumbest person on the face of this planet for going by what critics say instead of formulating your own opinion by actually watching the movie for yourself.
Well I guess not everyone has a brain of their own which includes you
@@jeahavvalentin980 Insults don't make you right. If I didn't like the previews why would I pay for the movie?
@@howie9751 In the words of scarecrow from the wizard of oz.
If I only had a brain 🎶 🎶
They are right. At 88 or when it was filmed , Eddymurphymania was so high that it was enough to make you watch the whole thing, but it is tiring. Some comedic parts are still enjoyable though. The music though was the ..dope, no pun intended.
"This movie isn't funny." [shows clip of the worst joke in the movie]
Well, it was originally going to star Sylvester Stallone, so I don't think the scriptwriters were thinking much about racial issues.
it's very good, it's not great.
I can live with that. It's still worth watching tho.
It was so bad they made 3 more movies.
Two of the most overrated film critics. Here’s just a few movies they gave two thumbs down.
The Lost Boys, Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Uncle Buck, Beverly Hills Cop, Jingle All The Way, The Three Amigos, Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Ace Ventura 2, Dennis The Menace, Crocodile Dundee, Dutch, Edward Scissorhands, Hook, Lean On Me, Quigley Down Under, Better Off Dead, Sister Act, UHF, Willow . . .
Is this a parody? Most of those films are terrible.
Imagine how out-of-touch you gotta be to give Beverly Hills Cop a bad review??
Movies were great don't know what they're talking about
I agree with S & E.
Siskel and Ebert are dead wrong on this film. They are so out of touch. It was a huge hit!
I really really can't believe Ebert, the guy who wrote the horrible Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, can say these cruel things about the script of Beverly Hills Cop. Outstanding, outstanding this guy
The script of BHC actually was terrible. The director knew it and encouraged Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold to improvise much of their lines.
Not a good script? WTF!
They are consistently terrible critics.
They were right. Based on that scene of Eddie trying to check in, I just don't buy it and don't need to see it.
Forget what they said here on BHC. This is a fun, action filled movie that holds up even today.
At least see it ONCE before guessing you don't like it (based on one scene). The movie is MUCH, MUCH better than that single scene would have you think it is.
You sound like a dumb ass
@@arthurbishop3173 that hotel scene was amazing.
i give u 2 reviewers 2 thumbs down.
Ebert really doesnt know much
He knows a lot. He was just wrong here.
A hilariously misguided review.
Totally agree. Very overrated movie. Always was. Great soundtrack fooled alot of people into thinking it's a good movie. Sequel is dreadful.
Yet one of his most quoted movies of all time and still a pop-culture reference 36 years later
Murphy is excellent but the film is nothing to write home about. I felt the entire nature of the film is rather plastic; I just see a world established just for Murphy's comedic antics.
Very BAD Review
Way way way off
that and 48 hours were eddie murphys only good movies
Hmmm ... (Coming to America)
i don't think so
Trading Places and Coming to America and those are classics. I hope they still hold up
Trading Places is hi best film.
Ditto. Too much like one-guy army gung ho Rambo style run-ons. It wasn't until the 1990s that cinema industry started making very good solid action thrillers worth keeping that hold up to realistic crime war dramas. Top picks should be un-
ground surreal cult films like
The Zero Boys, Eyewitness,
The Warriors, and Death Wish
to name a few.
Not one of Eddie Murphy's best films.
BHC may actually be Eddie's single best film - what are you talking about?
