    Eddie Murphy - Like or dislike?

    He made some good stuff in the 80's 48 hours beverly hills cop but he's a one trick pony motor mouth black guy so the act wears thin pretty quick.

    Eddie Murphy - Like or dislike?

    Trading Places, 48 Hours and Coming To America are his only really good films.

    Eddie Murphy - Like or dislike?

    I loved him in Beverly Hills Cop

    And I hate to admit it but I love him in Dr. Doolittle, The Nutty Professor and Shrek.

    Eddie Murphy - Like or dislike?

    If I had to choose, I'd say that I like him. However, I despise all the crap he's made lately, but love some of his 80s work so much! Coming To America, Trading Places, 48hrs, Beverly Hills Cop......

    And his stand-up used to be superb.

    True he is no longer the go to actor and reports of Beverly Hills Cop IV seem to have been around for years.

    Axel Foley may be back but it's now 15 years since the last movie.

    Eddie Murphy - Like or dislike?

    It's not confirmed, and to be honest is looking less and less likely as time goes on. Murphy is hardly what you would call bankable these days.

    Wonder if it does happen if they will ever get round to bringing it to London, which was supposed to happen with the third movie?

    48 Hrs, Trading Places & Beverly Hills Cop was an excellent beginning but sadly 25 years of dross followed.

    I see that Beverly Hills Cop IV is in the pipeline for 2012.

    Can't agree - because Richard Pryor had been there and done that years before Murphy, and Murphy borrowed very heavily from Pryor's comedic style. It was ok, but Pryor had already set the benchmark by then.

    I'll always have a soft spot for Eddie but he has made some proper shite
    His greatest moment was 48 Hours imo. He still makes the odd gem, Life was a great film.

    Eddie Murphy - Like or dislike?

    I like all his old films (although controversially, i actually don't like 48 Hrs!). His standup performances are outright brilliance, particularly 'Delirious'. I admit though that i haven't watched a new film by him since the Nutty Professor sequel.
