By now, I have seen almost all the movies starring Eddie Murphy (by now, I think Iโm missing only 3 of them) and I have seriously never seen such a talented actor messing up his career. What a waste! I mean, back in the 80โs, the guy was huge and he made some very good flick (I loved โRawโ personally) but, in the 90โs, he started to make some dubious choices and in the 00โs, all this movies were just plain terrible. Anyway, from all the garbage Murphy was involving in, I heard that this was his worst one so even though I only heard bad things about this flick, I was still curious to check it out. And indeed, it really lived up to its reputation! It is Eddie Murphy's worst movie (seriously...) and, like I said before, he has made a lot of terrible movies in his pathetic career.... I mean, to make a science-fiction feature with Murphy could have been pretty awesome but they should have started with at least a decent script. Instead, the whole thing was just terribly pathetic and embarrassing. The only funny thing was that, even though there was a huge budget, it still looked really cheap. Eventually, in absolute terms, this movie made the largest financial loss of any movie to date, with a budget of $100 million and a total US gross of $4.41 million. It means that there was a total loss of $95.59 million. Quite impressive, ainโt it? Furthermore, it was not funny and just boring as hell. To conclude, the whole thing is a mess and it is definitely not worth a look whatsoever, except if you want to see the worst movie ever made by Eddie Murphy.
