I-Spy - Eddie Murphys Back!

You've seen the trailers. You've been teased. Yes, the laughters are there plus more! This is the movie I believe that will bring E. Murphy back from his series of bombs. Remember Beverly Hill Cop, 48HRs? His brand of humour is back! Granted I don't really like Owen Wilson all that much, but there are laughters throughout that you will not be disappointed.

Run! Run! Catch this if you can. If you like Rush Hour then this movie is for you.

I can't wait for the laughters as I eat my Bando (tm) potato chips.

Do you work for the studio that is releasing this flick? You sure talk like it.

On another note, I did see something funny on Entertainment Tonight the other night. Eddie Murphy and his wife and kids at the I-Spy premiere. They were interviewing him and Eddie said "Yeah, my kids come to all my premiers........well......they didn't come to the Pluto Nash premiere!".

Then his son turned around and said "Yeah, but neither did you....."

Eddie, his wife, and the interviewer all burst into laughter, so at least he has a sense of humor about being in the biggest bomb of all time.

I seriously, honestly, hope and pray that I-Spy is way, way, way better than The Adventures of Pluto Nash.

I think he's been back for awhile, and has been laying lemons since his last good movie, coming to america.

I really doubt this is the film that will be a return to classic eddie.
It's a damn remake of a t.v. show.

L. Gowron... Go back to the studio.
And if you don't work for them, ask for a job.

"If you loved rush hour this movie is for you"

Sounds like a reason to not waste $10 to me. Thanks!

I think it looks about as good as Showtime and Pluto Nash looks. I hope Santa Clause 2 beats this at the box office.

It would be horrible if it flops. They've been marketing this for months (I've been seeings commercials for this on a daily basis since September) . It'll be a much bigger flop then Pluto Nash.

I think Owen Wilson should get the top billing for this movie...he will be the reason I go see this movie...not Murphy...who I always liked as a background character anyway (besides BHC series).

i think this movie will make its money back.

i am looking forward to this, because it does look decent. not particularly great. formulaic, no doubt.

it just ain't gonna flop. no way. (i hope i don't eat my words... owen wilson doesn't deserve to flop. )

This movie looks like it's going to be a turd on a stick. I think Eddie hasn't been funny for a long, long time.

I'll catch it on TV in a year or two.

As David Spade once said on Hollywood Minute after putting up a picture of Eddie Murphy, "Look, kids, a falling star!"

Has Robert Culp and Bill Cosby approved this big screen version? After all they starred in the original TV series in the late 1960's or early 1970's. Does anyone know what the original stars have to say about this movie?

after sitting though Pluto Nash this summer,I'm inclined to agree with him!

How does this look "amazing"? I just don't see how anybody could gather that from the commercials.
