The Golden Child

Summary: The Golden Child
Review: "The Golden Child" was Eddie Murphy's first film since his megahit "Beverly Hills Cop". And even though it's not as good as "Cop", it's a fun comic adventure. Murphy stars as a finder of lost children who's assigned a most unusual case. His assignment: to find the title character, a child with mystical powers. This movie could have been titled "Beverly Hills Cop and the Temple of Doom" since parts of this movie plays like a Spielbergian adventure, kinda like an Indiana Jones comedy. It's got comedy with laughs, and adventure with special effects. Lots of fun.

This is one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies. He was very funny in this film.

Summary: Silly
Review: Both funny and ridiculous. Anyone who likes Eddie Murphy will not be disappointed, he is as funny as usual. The silliest part in the film is when the chick is fighting and she happens to get wet, so the rest of the scene is basically a wet T-shirt show because she (of course) is not wearing a bra. I mostly liked the movie because parts of it were actually filmed in Nepal, where I have spent some time, and it was nostalgic to see it again. Some very visually appealing scenes and an interesting plot dispite being a bit nonsensical. The actual golden child is cute and captivating.

Summary: FUNNY IN SOME SCENES BUT IT`S CERTAINLY NOT THE BEST COMEDY
Review: Eddie Murphy is funny here but the story is so bogus that all it has is Murphy`s name to carry it through. Murphy plays a social worker who specializes in finding lost children, is hired by an tibertian woman to locate an anjelliac child who was kidnapped by demoic forces. I give Eddie Murphy credit he did his best in trying to make something out of a mediocre script with his humor but he should of stayed away from the person(s) who talked him into making this film. After seeing this film i see why Eddie Murphy was anxious to do BEVERLY HILLS COP II a year later and try to regain his box office bankabillty.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: Here we have yet another hilarious movie by Eddie Murphy. Unfortunately, the movie critics above perpetuate the general prejudice against comedies (esp. in such institutions as the Academy), and claim it to be "Top candidate for the worst megahit of all time." Obviously they are saying that it was a huge hit, ie. that everyone went to it, and told others to go to it, yet it has no merit whatsover. Don't listen to them. It's a fantastic movie, filled with the type of humor that Murphy has become famous for. - A definate buy if you have ever liked an Murphy comedy.

Summary: Eddie Murphy at his best and brightest. A True Classic
Review: I am very happy to see my fellow Reveiwers totally disregarding everything that Leonard Maltin (and other nitwit critics who wouldn't know entertainment if it bit them on the ...) said and spoke the truth about this classic comedy. This is Eddies best film (followed closely by coming to America and Beverly hills cop) and I beleive it will stay in that position for many years to come.

Summary: If you're a fan of old-school Eddie Murphy then see this!
Review: I have loved this movie ever since I was young. I owned it on video and when I saw that it was availible on DVD I just had to pick it up! The comedy in the Golden Child is purely in the style of Eddie Murphy. He displays that same sarcastic style that you first fell for in Beverly Hills Cop. My friends and co-workers all rave about this movie and laugh hysterically with every viewing. It gets better every time. Our favorite scene is by far the "I-I-I-I-I-I want the knife!" I don't understand why someone would call this a failed megahit. I work with about 30 people, my Corps outfit consists of 90 people, and I have many friends. I would say that close to 65% of all of us own this movie. It great! I really can't explain it any better than that. You'd just have to see it for yourself.

Summary: Okay Movie.
Review: I saw this movie on TBS during Dinner and a Movie and they pointed out one hilarious part of the movie and that was that the sounds that girl made in the movie. They sounded incredibly fake. The movie had a predictable premise but I liked the snake lady she was cool to look at. This movie doesn't seem to be a favorite among people and I don't know why. The DVD is okay but still has no good extra features.
