What's the deal with Eddie Murphy?
tommy:
I think he's a pretty funny and decent actor for the most part (in the late 80's and early 90's), but all these "funny" stupid pointless movies he just keeps cranking out is getting really annoying.
Why not just make some kind of REAL movie and stop wasting everyones time? He definitely could make a good movie as BHC and others were, why waste your actor personality on garbage Pauly Shore should be doing?
It seems sad to me... he really doesn't need to make lame gimmicky movies but chooses to do so anyway and I'm disappointed.
The guy once was an A list actor but dropped himself to a second rate waste of time by picking up crappy scripts.
shardian:
Yeah he's only gonna win a supporting actor Oscar this year for Dreamgirls. I guess that don't count huh. ;)
Odds are he made that Norbit movie a year or two ago. This time of year, the movie studios unload their "junk films" off on the theaters and try to pass them off as good movies with overmarketing and not allowing critic screenings. If they can fool the public and get one good week in before word of mouth spreads, they'll make their money.
boykster:
Yeah, and the Shrek franchise, what a waste...nobody watched those :dunno
sodapopinski:
I agree with Tommy, he has mostly made pure crap. Dream Girls being an exception and Shrek being nothing more than a voice roll. He has a huge list of box office poison
