Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 15 comments (13 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — none of them described how it moves.
So the shape below is not a measured arc. It is this title's overall sentiment held flat across the runtime, with the widest uncertainty band we draw. People talked about this title; they did not talk about how it paces.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Aside from the plot -- and if you can figure out the plot, the CIA's special projects unit wants to talk to you -- Cop II is a rarity: a sequel that's as good as the original, if not better.”
Desson Thomson, Washington Post · 80
“If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Eddie Murphy has just paid himself a heartfelt compliment. Cut for cut, his Beverly Hills Cop II is almost a perfect match for the wildly successful "Beverly Hills Cop I," with only the crimes and the shticks changed to protect fans of the original. It could have been written by a witty computer. That's not all bad, given the quality of the model. [20 May 1987, p.C13]”
Johanna Steinmetz, Chicago Tribune · 75
“Cop II doesn't sizzle like the original. It plays like a movie made by the numbers, an excuse to trot out Murphy and let him reprise the moves that earned the first Cop $350 million and status as the top-grossing comedy in film history. [20 May 1987, p.D1]”
Christine Arnold, Miami Herald · 63
“The new film has at least some of its predecessor's appeal. But it can't match the first film's novelty, or recapture the excitement of watching a great comic character like Axel Foley as he first came to life.”
Janet Maslin, The New York Times · 60
“There is an inherent problem about any sequel that too slavishly duplicates the style and substance of its predecessor; it cannot deliver the delight of discovery that the original provided. Axel made a swell first impression, but he is still living on it, perhaps not yet a bore, but not quite as fascinating as he once promised to be.”
Richard Schickel, Time · 60

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“This certainly felt like it just uses same formula as previous one and of course is a bit outdated at our age, but still was quite decent movie overall.”

“This is pretty predictable stuff. If your looking for a basic 80s action, renegade cop type watch, esp. one to have on in the background while you perhaps do other things, then this one is ok. It features tropes and the like, for example the angry and exasperated police chief who can't keep his officer under suitable supervision (or control). It's ver much an 1980s film and features explosions, car chases and the like. Its not entirely unentertaining but its certainly not a film I'd actively rec”

“This sequel does have it's moments but falls along behind it's predecessor. It's still all about Ediie Murphy but he has a lot to do in working with such a limited screenplay.”

“Beverly Hills Cop II is the sequel to the action comedy, Beverly Hills Cop.... Beverly Hills Cop II sees the return of Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley and his buddies Judge Reinhold and John Ashton who are working on the alphabet crimes after a police officer is shot in broad daylight... Beverly Hills Cop II is good for a few cheesey laughs but fails as a sequel to the original because the edge the first had isn't operational in Beverly Hills Cop II and the blonde villain who's tall, Karla Fry played”

“Entertaining enough sequel isn't as sharp as the original and some parts felt like Murphy's stand-up routine, and while the plot itself was weak, did enjoy the on-screen friendships between Murphy, Reinhold and Ashton. **3.5/5**”
