The Golden Child

Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"It is funnier, more assured and more tailored to Murphy than 'Beverly Hills Cop' and it shows a side of his comic persona that I don't think has been much appreciated (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 
United States
Miami Herald
"It's not awful; it isn't dull. But The Golden Child is a kids' film, and there are times when Murphy himself seems uncomfortable, as if he knows he's making a movie he wouldn't pay to see."
United States
Variety
"A 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 special effects monsters"
United States
The Washington Post
"Ritchie has taken Dennis Feldman's script and turned what might have been a lovely fantasy into a half-baked comedy without a heart." 
United Kingdom
Empire
"Toying with themes too serious for it and stars too big for it, this fantasy is incalculably less than the sum of it's parts (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)" 
United States
Los Angeles Times
"A flabby disappointment. The jokes die, the action curdles. Much of it falls as flat as smashed tinsel"
