Summary: THE BEST VAMPIRE MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!!
Review: I really enjoy this movie. Most people would (probably) cheer on the good guys, but I liked the vampire "Max". I wish "Rita" (Angela Basset) would have gone on and joined up with him. She could have had anything & everything she wanted.

Summary: A Brilliant twist on the '90s Murphy formula!
Review: In the 1980s, Eddie Murphy single-handedly recreated the Black Action hero, replacing the old murderous superstud of the 1970s with black characters who depended on their quick wits more than their big guns. That formula was quickly run dry, however, both by Murphy himself and the imitators he inspired. So, Eddie intelligently decided that he needed to recreate a forgotten genre of comedy, one which Peter Sellars had mastered in the 60s, and which only Murphy could do today: he would make movies in which he played multiple characters. The Genesis began with "Coming to America", in which Murphy played not only the lead role, but also all the inhabitants of a Harlem barbershop. The sequences were short, but Murphy was building the road to becoming the most brilliant character actor of our day. Soon followed the "Nutty Professor" movies, "Bowfinger", and his animated TV series, "The PJ's." In all these Murphy played a multiplicity of roles, and played them all brilliantly (the Academy's disdain for streetwise comedies, and--well, lets just say it--their dismissal of black performers not playing slaves or pimps, are the only explanations possible for Murphy not owning an Oscar or two by now). With these projects, Eddie was not only playing different characters, but also honing a new Eddie Murphy genre: raunchy, but intelligent; gross, but heartfelt; hilariously over the top in the particulars of plot, but firmly rooted in emotional reality. He has created or has been involved with, some of the arguably best comedies of the 1990's and onward--and has been responsible for inarguably the best comic performances of the era. So, in this era, Eddie decided to push the envelope by mixing the new Eddie Genre with the Horror films he loved as a kid. The result, "A Vampire in Brooklyn", is unsettling to some because the lines between Eddie's wildly improvisational Black (or African American, if you insist) character comedy to straight vampire horror movie are so starkly drawn. There are very few instances where the comedy and horror overlap. This, I feel, is the brilliance of the film. There are no horror moments broken by a punchline or bad joke, and there are no comedy moments punctuated by some kind of sick horror gag (that has been done to death since John Landis' "American Werewolf in London". Now its being beated to death by "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"). The funny parts are funny and the scary parts are truly scary. And Murphy also gets to shine in multiple well-defined character parts as well, as the shape-shifting African Vampire assumes the physical identity of several of his victims. "Vampire" failed at the box office not because it was a bad film--its definitely is not. But because it was too unusual a film for the limited abilities of the studio's marketing department to sell. Those going expecting to see a comedy were disappointed it contained so much pure horror, and those going to see it based on the publicity that painted it as a horror film were dissapointed it contained so much hilarious Murphy style comedy. It dies because of false expectations. Eddie's other films contained quick changes in tone as well--the shifts between bathroom comedy and pathos in the Nutty Professor films is no less abrupt than those between horror and comedy in "Vampire". It's just that the choice of horror as the second element mixed with the comedy is a more daring and unusual one. Years from now, "A Vampire in Brooklyn" will be viewed as one of the highpoints of the second phase of the Eddie Murphy Genre.

Summary: I loved this movie
Review: It was funny. The lore was unique. It wasn't necessarily scary but it did have suspense. It's one of my favorite vampire movies.

Summary: LOW POINT in the careers of ALL involved!
Review: Now, I will admit. I did go see it when it first came out, but this movie is a pure joke. Not a horror film and not a comedy either. Murphy looked ridiculous w/all that stuff on. Angela, Kadeem (who's acting is mediocre already), and Allen...you guys could do so much better. I don't think I can say much more.

Summary: Sink your fangs into this!!!!!
Review: This has got to be one of the funniest vampire flicks I have ever seen. Of course it is hard to fail when you have got the prowess of Murphey as your lead. His henchman is amazing too. The script is a bit lapse but it is still brilliant.

Summary: don't bother
Review: This movie fails both as a comedy and as a horror movie. Wes Craven and Eddie Murphy team up for a story of a Caribbean vampire who comes to New York to search for his 'queen.' It had the potential to be a good movie, either as a horror movie or as a parody of vampire movies. The problem is they tried to do both, a comedy and a horror story, and neither carried off very well. Murphy does do an excellent job as Maximillian (the lead role), and it might be one of his better performances. The other characters he played (a preacher and an Italian thug) were substandard. While Murphy's performance was great, the rest of the cast was wooden. Kadeem Hardison and John Witherspoon are the comic relief in the film. They are over the top and the movie just isn't horrific enough to need comic relief. It's not a movie I would bother with, unless you can catch it on Encore.

Summary: This is BLOODY brilliant
Review: This movie has everything I like. A cool lead actor, a gorgeous female, and most importantly VAMPIRES !!!!! It is so refressing to seee Eddie Murphey in something other then 'Beverly Hills cop'. Don't get me wrong, those films are good, but they have nothing on this. Murphey steals the show as the a sedusive vampire. Altough I have to say my favourite character is the henchman, who makes the film as funy as it can be. Definatly worth a watch!!!
