- Critics' reviews
-
-
"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."
-
"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"
-
"A flabby disappointment. The jokes die, the action curdles. Much of it falls as flat as smashed tinsel"
