Trusting Emma Stone right now seems like the correct play. Shes pretty masterful as an actor.

Yeah, I mean Iāve already booked a ticket to the very first showing I can get into at my local theater. Thereās been no consideration of giving it a miss no matter how underwhelmed I am by the trailer.

I never give any importance to trailers and usually avoid them. Yorgos has made a lot of other interesting and often great films so that is all I need.

Article has lots of links and reviews. Or just the video is on YouTube.
Hot take: Part 2 does have what I consider to be the best theme in the series. Yeah you heard me Axel F, you arent number 1

This song is so silly, but it hits the nostalgia button hard.
I think the trailer looks like a good blend of modern action with the humor we expect from Murphy.
Eddie has made shockingly little good stuff tho since he was in Mulan and Shrek. I didnāt even think Beverly Hills Cop of any number was very good. His collaborations with Johnathan Landis gave us Coming to America and Trading Placesātwo stone cold classics. But Landis and Murphy also gave us Beverly Hills Cop III.
Coming 2 America was BAD, and holy shit if you just watch the trailer for Candy Cane Lane.
Itās strange to say but I believe Murphy is a titan of talent with only a few good movies.
Iām in the small percentage who enjoys The Distinguished Gentleman.
But I agree that his talent way outpaces his catalog. Still, Iām sympathetic to him on what was a really long feud with SNL over David Spade taking a Weekend Update potshot at Eddieās floundering career after Eddie was the one who just about single-handedly kept the show afloat in the early 80s (before it had reached its permanently uncancellable status of today).

Lol! Yup as well as Boomerang. Really good. I even saw A Vampire in Brooklyn, tho by then I was really tired of Eddieās one accent.
Youāre 100% correct of course about what he did to save SNL. Some of his skits are still among the best of all time.
But manā¦his catalog is a testament to his talent because anyone else would not continue to have the same draw.
On the other hand, I adore Eddie in recent interviews. He sounds like heās found the key to serenity.
Barbie releases on MAX tomorrow. I am excited.

Axel F is a great jam. I remember loving hearing it on the radio when I had no idea what Beverly Hills Cop was. Eventually I learned to play it on the piano.

Lol! Thatās cool. I played Sealās āKiss from a Roseā for one of my piano recitals. Hooray to instructors who let us jam the good stuff in-between Chopin.
The Best of SNL Eddie Murphy VHS was a frequent rental for me as a kid, and itās just full of gold. That James Brown sketch was on it. So was this:
