The last decent film he made was Beverly Hills Cop and that was nearly 30 years ago in 1984.
Eddie Murphy heading for worst movie ever glory
Eddie Murphy looks a dead cert for the Razzies and possibly the worst movie ever award as critics queue up to give his A Thousand Words a righteous shoeing. The movie currently rates 0% on Rotten Tomatoes "Tomatometer", based on 42 reviews. The website summarises the plot thus: Eddie Murphy is Jack McCall, a fast-talking …

Re: I like Hudson Hawk
I like Hudson Hawk too.
A much underapreciated film. those who dont like it mostly havent seen it and are going off its poor box office results.
Why drag this much misaligned film out your ass now to be tarred and humiliated merely by being in the same discussion as "the complete crap eddie murphy has produced since beverly hills cop2"

Oh, if we're looking for worst films ever
I would like to put forward my two nominations:
Never Been Kissed starring Drew Barrymore. I'm not overly keen on romantic films at the best of times but this was the most god-awful and unfunny piece of crap I have ever seen.
Alternatively, M Night Shyalaman's entire body of work. Sixth Sense was utterly predictable and Haley Joel Osmont got on my tits, Unbreakable....well it was ok I guess. The Village dragged on without going anywhere and don't even get me started on The Happening.

Re: Oh, if we're looking for worst films ever
Clearly none of you have seen Doomsday 2012...
Often seen on sale in Tescos (STILL?!?) and bought buy unsuspecting bargain bin browsers who aren't paying attention and think this is 2012...
Have a look at the comments on imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132130/reviews)

Or Troll 2
Could this movie cross the so bad it's good again barrier?
I actually have copies of Battlefield Earth, the remake of the Wickerman, Plan 9, The Star Wars Christmas Special, and The Room (although I've only watched those last two once). All are even better with Rifftrax.

Re: Pearl Harbor Sucked...
"At least with Peal Harbor there was little chance of a sequel."
You know that you have just thrown down the gauntlet to the suits in Hollywood right?
Quite frankly, with the way that they have been re-making, re-imaging & creating sequels by the bucket load, I'd actually give fair odds for a re-make of Pearl Harbor within the next 5 years.

Re: Pearl Harbor sequel
the sequel came with it - for some reason the movie didnt end with the attack on pearl harbour.
It was at that point in the film when i was informed i was stuck in the cinema for a further hour and a bit while the "story" dragged on until finally USA got a bit of revenge by managing to bomb japan.
and then the pubs were shut.

Poor old Eddie
Eddie Murphy has been in some fine comedies and is a good actor when challenged by a good director and script. But he seems to have trouble telling a good script apart from a bad one or has taken the Michael Caine approach to choosing roles - anything at all so long as it pays the bills.
Whatever the reason, seeing Eddie Murphy on a billboard should serve as a warning that the film is more likely to be awful than not.
See also Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, Kevin James etc.
