What a fun ride. This second installment in the Beverly Hills Cop film series was just as exceptional as the first. It was more action-packed, well, at least when there was action. This felt like it was more plot-oriented, both when I was watching it, and now, when I've finished watching it. And that took me by surprise, which I think has taken a toll on me, writing this. The plot of the first movie was simpler, easier to understand, while the plot of this movie took a little more effort, and because I wasn't expecting the plot to not be as simple and easy to understand, the little more effort became even more. My brain is still processing everything and hasn't caught up to the here and now for focusing on what to write. But it's fine, it turned out fine. Moving on, the soundtrack was pretty excellent as well. That's probably the obvious conclusion, but still. I think I like the songs used just a tiny bit more than the songs used in the first one. While I potentially enjoyed it more than the first installment, the movie itself hasn't given me that inclination to give it the same rating that I gave the first installment, an eight. That's why I've gone with a seven, instead. I'm not sure what the cause of that is or could be, and it stumps me, as it is contradictory to the fact that I think I enjoyed this movie more than I did the first. Anyway, this was a solid second addition to this film series. I'm going to get right to watching the third. I'm a little anxious, though. The overall audience rating percentage of it is lower than the first two. That seems foreboding. I think it'll be fine, I just hope it doesn't tarnish what could've been for when I watch it had I not seen that the audience rating percentage for it was lower than for the first two films.
