It has been 30 years since the last instalment and it shows. Eddie Murphy is no longer the fast past, tongue twisted wide boy. Yes, this film boast most of the cast from the first film, but there are very few laughs, no high pitched laughs from the main man. Eddie Murphy is just too serious and not the Axel Foley who was loved by everyone all those years ago.
To make it work you need a good script with a good dialogue. It just doesn't hit the mark, much like the 'Bad Boys' reappearance.
Certainly makes you wonder whether the film companies have anything original or are they just going to continue making sequels to has been franchises that should have been left alone at their last instalments. Sadly, this is one of those. The expectation was high but the product just doesn't hit the mark.

It's so slow which makes the film boring. You could go out and make yourself a cup of tea, Coe back and you could still find yourself in the same scene. The film is overlong and takes too long to where it wants to go, and even then where it gets to is disappointing. The cast at times look like they are struggling with their characters and trying to make the most of a poor script, lack of a good storyline, and appalling dialogue.
They should have left it as a trilogy, especially as 'war' was also a disappointment compared to the first two. This film is just a CGI fest. Hasn't Hollywood got anything original to produce?

It's just not scary. The cast aren't convincing enough, obviously not used to acting in a horror film. The storyline is confused in itself and doesn't know which direction to go in. Make up is so amateur; you can see the plastic on faces.
The actors just seem to go through the motions. They don't give any impression that they are being pursued by the 'Entity', do not show any fear in their faces.
The script seems to have stolen plots from 'Poltergeist' and 'The Conjuring'. But it just doesn't work. There are so many holes in the plot. Where was the girls father? Why didn't the mum ring him and tell him what was happening? Why wasn't the little girl showing any signs of being frightened?
Don't waste your time. Or your money.
