i be guess the reason this movie do so well at the box office be of course eddie murphy . i think this be his first movie since beverly hill cop so at the time he be hot . consider that one make over two hundred million and it be r and this one make about 80 million and it be pg do say it be not all that popular . i have never be a big eddie murphy fan and so that be probably another reason i do not care for it much at all . this one have eddie a some sort of finder of lose kid . he must find the golden child or the world be in terrible peril . the plot be very bad and but as bad a it be it do not compare to the special effect . i have see well stuff do in the 70 than some of the stuff this one offer and ray harryhausen do good stuff . still the main reason you see a movie like this be because of eddie and unfortunately he be not very funny in this one at all and it just seem stupid to put him in the raider of the lose ark type scene . i guess they be hop for a fish out of water effect and but to me it just do not work .
