I didn’t find AXEL F overly nostalgic. It sticks to the template for these movies. The music is part of it. I love that Axel is still idealistic except that the machinery doesn’t work as well, and the movie acknowledges the passing of time. There’s enough new stuff that complements the old stuff.

It has about 2 scenes too many that reinforce the relationship between Axel and Janey. Ok, we get it. In terms of legacy sequels, where characters ended up through the years, it felt more true than many of its peers.

You don’t want to mess with that action/comedy mix too much, or people would complain that it strays too far from what makes these movies at their best as entertaining as they are. BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F does the legasequel right.
