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)" | POS |
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." | NEU |
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" | NEG |
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." | NEG |
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)" | NEG |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "A flabby disappointment. The jokes die, the action curdles. Much of it falls as flat as smashed tinsel" | NEG |
