this movie be so savagely criticize that i desperately want to like it and to prove everybody wrong and to claim that eddie murphy be back with a bang and with his funny bone throb like they never have . i want all that badly . until i get to see the movie and get sourly disappoint at such flagrant waste of resource . not that e. murphy name be a guarantee of quality cinema anymore but at least he use to have some dignity and usually top notch character actor joe pantoliano ( just watchmemento ) also set something close to a career low here . the visual side of the film be occasionally spectacular but nothing can overcome the increasingly frequent hollywoodian syndrome of have script and dialog that look a if they be write by drunken ape and i mean zero intelligence and zero subtlety and zero coherence all amount to one gigantic mess of half baked concept that never gel into anything resemble a decent film . to top it off for an action comedy the action part be feeble at best and the least say about the joke the good ( oh the endless horny robot joke ) . it flop for a reason and nobody in a right frame of mind would want to repeat his dose of pluto nash .
