When did Eddie Murphy fall off? And why?

[Red Money]

Eddie is a versatile comedian. He has a body of work....and playing the donkey in shrek is important to his legacy.

That was low key one of his best movies

When he ran across the highway for the movie scene

1999 was prolly his last great year for movies...bowfinger was fukking hilarious and it aged well

As a Coming to America aficionado (I can recite the entire movie from beginning to end), I liked the second one. It was a fun movie.

Movie operated SOLELY on nostalgia. Nothing else

Movie operated SOLELY on nostalgia. Nothing else

I know. And it delivered.

Let's be honest. Nobody really wanted to see a sequel. The movie made the right choice to lean on nostalgia.

We ALL came in to see what Akeem and the wacky side characters were up to after 30 years. And they still found room for new characters. Wesley Snipes was hilarious.

Everyone did well, even Leslie Jones made me laugh. Plus they did more worldbuilding of Zamunda.

It was a movie made specifically for the fans of Coming to America.

That treh scandal hurt him for a minute..
If we going to keep it a buck..

Knowing how LAPD do it may have been a setup...Eddie could've pulled something way more discreetly If he chose than how they said he was doing that's why I believe he was setup.

I saw coming to america in the movie theaters in 1987 when I was 10 and trust me it left an indelible impression on me and I love it... but the sequel was better off having never been made.... the fact that it was PG-13 was insult to injury.

Yeah age isn't it. I think it might be that he never found a lane that worked that he stuck with.

Tom Hanks left comedy and went to drama and never really went back. Robin Williams did comedy and drama but could do it because he was gifted at drama and comedy.

Jim Carrey left comedy and went to drama and it was kind of uneven but he found a lane.

Mike Meyers was successful but outside of Austin Powers flopped and basically quit.

Eddie seems to be just ok at drama but great at comedy so he needed to find a lane but he seemed to be too all over the place.

leaving stand up and having to only play hollywood politics isn't good

Beverly Hills cop 4 coming

[Red Money]

exactly this
him retiring from stand up early fukked him
bruh needed to be on Def Jam
going 3 decades without that direct line of comedy to the people isn't good

Eddie was bigger than def comedy jam...Eddie was still in his prime. He was doing behind the scenes stuff, producing shows and was making movies.

That Shrek money was the turning point.

Prolly made more than any one project/series he's ever done.

Fell off???

When?

 

[feelosofer]

Eddie Never fell off. His priorities changed when he became a father and he wanted to do more family stuff and even a few of those movies were solid. Eddie has made so much money he can now just do the stuff he wants to do now.
