That's good to hear. And actually I could see this working as a TV series, even if the current market has an over-abundance of cop shows.Lionsfan said:

Hey, Red Dragon was awesome, Bob.
That's all I got to say. Don't have any other qualms with the rest of the review.

To those of you thinking that Murphy's original idea would have been a better movie, please consider previous movies with a black centered theme with Murphy as the star. It's an UGLY list with most of them bringing new concepts in the term "blaxploitation."

Also, he was in a serious movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1075419/ that was actually really good
Say what you will about every other movie he has made, but Red Dragon was fuckign awesome and I stand by that statement.
I'm guessing he thought that movie was a shoe in for something we would all go to see. If so, then he was right.ZeppMan217 said:
Directed at the crack at Donkey getting his own spinoff, ssssh! Careful, Bob, Eddie might hear you!
By the way, I love how you don't just tell us if a movie is bad and give us a score to mindlessly follow, but challenge us and others interested in films to understand why it was bad and how it could have worked, or why a movie was good and how it could have gone bad.

Okay, so the movie's crap and best avoided, I'll spend the money on a porno and some beer or something.
But seriously, Rush Hour? That was awesome. Even though they made 3 or 4 or the damned things I was never bored. I can't even think of anyone I know who didn't like it.

It was initially an all-black protagonist cast, and it got reduced to a bunch of white people plus one "African-American". Hmmmmm.
Damn... Murphy's original pitch sounds like a fucking awesome movie so long as Tyler Perry isn't involved in any way whatsoever. Not only did it have a great premise but it had the ability to provide the "ethnic market" an actual good movie to which other movies aimed at the "ethnic market" must be measured against, as it will definitely not include Tyler Perry.
I'm going to have to disagree with ya here Bob. Just got back from watching it. I have no idea how this movie left such a little impression on you. Both me and my friend enjoyed it and we now have a great quote to say to each other. I also have to disagree about the lack of screen time for the characters; everyone got their moments, although Stiller and Murphy we're clearly the stars (as they should have been).
It was not the funniest movie I've seen nor will I probably remember it in a year or so, but it gave me a few chuckles, and a few lolwut moments, so I think it was worth the ticket money (but I work at a theater so I get in for free lawl).

Wait, what? Red Dragon? That film was AWESOME! I hold it in very high regard along with the Silence of the Lambs itself. I mean come on... Ralph Fiennes! Not to mention the fact that Anthony Hopkins hasn't been in a decent movie since then.
Hannibal was a worse film than Red Dragon and that was Directed by Ridley Scott of all people. Then again, it was Julianne Moore who killed Clarice so that probably did it for me.
Ummm yeah I have nothing to say about Tower Heist. I wouldn't have gone to see it anyway so nothing really changes for me.

Bob is just talking out of his ass by this point and his reviews have been more and more off.
Especially when he hailed "drive" as the best thing in a long while.
This movie was not the best movie ever, and probably shouldn't be your first choice if you only have enough money for 1 movie to see, but he went way too hard on it.
