The movie was surprisingly funny, though and I really enjoyed Eddie Murphy's performance. The story itself wasn't bad and those of you, who have read Bram Stoker's Dracula, will actually notice some slight similarities, just in a completely different setting. Ah, and some of the music used in this movie was really great.… Expand

I found this movie really funny. It's so cheezy that it's charming. This is perhaps the last movie I can remember Eddie Murphy being funny (aside from the Shrek movies.)

This is perhaps the last movie I can remember Eddie Murphy being funny (aside from the Shrek movies.) Vampire in Brooklyn does not work as a horror at all. It tries to, but it doesn't. As a comedy on the other hand it really is fun, put a nice new perspective on an over done genre. Kind of in the spirit of Blacula, just better. Overall: Vampire in Brooklyn is a an enjoyable movie if you don't take it seriously and are willing to ignore the mountain of mistakes it makes, they are minor and if taken in good humor also easy to ignore. Just don't expect a horror from this movie.… Expand

It is not a good movie but hits my „So bad it is good“ spot. To clarify: Without that I would rate it as 3/10 or lower.

To clarify: Without that I would rate it as 3/10 or lower. The movie itself has a combination of director Wes Craven famous for horror and actor Eddie Murphy famous for comedy. Lets say it mixes not well here or sounds better on paper. The title is also what you get “Vampire in Brooklyn”. It starts with an abandoned ship that crashes into the dockyards in New York and the police investigating into the strange circumstances. I stop here to avoid spoilers. The story is not that good but has some good moments and is strangely entertaining (for me). I point out the church preaching scene which I liked as it is hilariously funny. However the movie is a bit incoherent and feels like they often do not know if they should aim for horror or comedy. The humor hits more than it misses for me but the horror aspect fails mostly. The actors are excellent for me in the “Good actors imprisoned in a bad script” way. Eddie Murphy is still entertaining in his role and has fun. Kadeem Hardison is the hidden gem in the movie and I would probably enjoy a spin off with him set after the events of the movie (Will never happen). Also Angela Basset and Allen Payne are really good. This cast is for me the positive strength of the movie. Other than that I have no strong opinions. Overall I can repeat that it is not a good movie but I enjoyed it. Would not recommend it except for the “So bad it is good” movie night with friends.… Expand
