Maybe is not the best in the Eddie Murphy career
but i found it very funny in several scenes
the one in particular when he must talk in church forced by one person (he choose Eddie like a substitute of the usual priest) the bad is necessary ! lol and after he finish to talk he send to hell people that listen him in street while they singing the bad is good, that's wa... read more

Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and not only I have since then an endless selection of movies to choose from but, as a result, I have become slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features. This movie w... read more

You know, if they would have chosen a path – dark comedy or serious vampire story – and stuck with it instead of merging the two into this hodge-podge unsettled mess we could have had something here. But the behind the scenes politics of filmmaking lead to a less than stellar product. Ain’t that always the way it goes down?

"First viewing - Feb. 1st Given the notorious reputation of Vampire In Brooklyn I've avoided it for years now. But on this night I decided to finally give it a chance. And you know what? I genuinely enjoyed it. Murphy plays his role straight, which I think most people weren't looking for back when it came out. For comic relief there's John Witherspoon and Kadeem Hardison who both deliver most of the time. And the chemistry between Murphy and Angela Bassett is believable and elevates the film. So"

BAMF posted a review 5 years, 4 months ago

“I have never seen this one. I figured I should go ahead and give it a shot. I find it crazy that a Wes Craven movie has such a low rating (besides Cursed anyways). The cast itself is pretty good. It's crazy that Eddie Murphy wrote some of this one. Is it maybe not considered good because Charles Murphy wrote some of this!? He wrote some of Norbit and you saw how that turned out. This is the only credit Vernon Lynch has ever had. Michael Lucker is mostly known for writing kids cartoon films that aren't all that great. Chris Parker worked on Mulan II with him. He also did Heaven is for Real and Battle of the Year both of which I actually loved. The lore is definitely intriguing although a slight bit silly. I see dead people everywhere. Ah so he is one of those kind of vampires. Thank goodnes” read more
