User Review
A fun and enjoyable surprise.
Rating: 8/10
I am an Eddie Murphy fan, but I did not go to the theater to see this
movie because of the horrible reviews that I read about it. My feelings
after catching this movie on HBO are clear, don't necessarily base all
of your decisions to watch a movie or not on highly publicized reviews.
The fact is, that I enjoyed this movie. I thought that the cast was
attractive and talented; and that there were some credible laughs. But
most of all, I thoroughly enjoyed the way the movie looked and how it
was filmed. This film was simply not as bad as the critics said it was.
It is possible that because the critics criticized the movie so much,
that when I finally saw the movie, and was not repulsed by it, that I
began to relax and enjoy it. I think that many of the critics were
expecting a Beverly Hills Cop-type laugh fest, but that is not a comedy
that's really an action-drama with a few laughs. This is strictly a
sci-fi comedy, as such, it does not take itself seriously; and neither
should you if you decide to watch it. Just see if you enjoy it. I sure
did.
