What's the deal with Eddie Murphy?
Howard_Casto:
Analyze that is one of the best films in his cannon, don't know what you have to gripe about there. (Billy Crystal + Robert DeNiro = classic). MTF is part of MTP so you can only count that as one. Showtime was ok... not good, not bad, just ok. The fact that murphy is in it is what makes it just ok, he pulled the whole movie down with him.
Reagardless, there is a key difference here. The schlock that Murphy and the Wayans bros. have been in lately is their own creations. There's a big difference in starring in a movie that just happens to suck big ones and creating a giant turd from the ground up. Murphy has nobody to blame but himself for the stinkers he's been in.

Oh God Kingpin was a crappy piece of crap, smeared with crap, sitting on a steaming pile of crap. And it had a massive piece of corn sticking out of the side near the top.

Stuck with a trio of asshats and find myself agreeing with Chad.
So, tommy, the answer is .... 'coz he gets paid lots of money and he probably doesn't care all that much that some glass-monger posting on an arcade website is "disappointed" in him.
Until he starts looking for a Wii-quarium(tm), that is ... then I'm sure that he'll be all-too-happy to justify his choices to you.
Cheers

Anaylze This was a really good movie, Anaylze That (the sequal) was not. I don't know why you want to count sequals as one movie, very often the original is great, but the sequals sucks. Each movie is seperate and should be treated as such.

Agreed, I was responding to the comment saying De Niro would never be in a Wayans brothers type movie, not whether De Niro is as good or bad as Murphy or the Wayans brothers.
