Leave your thoughts about The Golden Child.
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumMediocre Eddie Murphy comedy looks very dated now. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere are a lot of moments to remember in The Golden Child, but the one I will treasure the longest happens when Eddie Murphy gets behind the wheel of a beat-up station wagon and is led by a sacred parakeet to the lair of the devil. |
| The DissolveNathan RabinA non-movie that seems to wash over audiences without making any kind of impression. Except for those it does impress. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordA strange hybrid of Far Eastern mysticism, treacly sentimentality, diluted reworkings of Eddie Murphy’s patented confrontation scenes across racial and cultural boundaries, and dragged-in ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) special effects monsters, film makes no sense on any level. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinAfter his triumphant Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy could have done anything. Why, then, did he choose to head for the mysterious Orient to make a film as rich in mumbo jumbo as The Golden Child? Mr. Murphy's comic skepticism in the face of all this is the film's greatest asset. But it is worn thin by the awareness that not even he seems able to take the adventure seriously, and by the preposterousness and inconsistency of what surrounds him. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioThe action sequences are cloddishly orchestrated. And for the most part, the movie simply doesn't make sense. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottA weirdly out-of-scale movie that constantly juxtaposes the trivial and the cosmic, less to comic effect than to a mounting sense of muddle and uncertainty. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonEddie Murphy's latest is a flabby disappointment. The jokes die, the action curdles. Much of it falls as flat as smashed tinsel. |
| EmpireGavin BainbridgeToying with themes too serious for it and stars too big for it, this fantasy is incalculably less than the sum of it's parts. |
| User Reviewsami yAbsolutely brilliant movie! One of the best I've ever seen in my entire life! |
