My Review-
Well I never really watched a lot of Eddie Murphy movies from the 80s, but I kept hearing and reading this where Eddie Murphy was at his funniest. Which is true, however the plot of the movie was kind of out there I also saw that two actors from this movie were also from another movie I watched, which was yesterdays film "Big Trouble in Little China." It seemed like this movie was the start of the two movies with similar stories competing against each other; "Armageddon and Deep Impact" etc. Big Trouble in Little China won this one, the only good thing about this movie was Eddie Murphy's smart ass mouth and his comebacks, which he seems to be good at. Other than that at some points I found myself to be bored with the movie, along with Murphy, the little boy was also good those scenes were the most interesting. I will also admit I did enjoy the cheesy special effects in the movie, and the weird 80s music showing up every now and then when it wasn't need it. i think the only that saved this movie for me was Eddie Murphy, maybe this why I chose to watch this in the first place, I should have thought about this more.
