This Week: Eddie Murphy RAW Chosen by: cobrettiReleased: 1987 Starring: Eddie Murphy Director: Robert Townsend Producer: Robert D. Wachs, Keenen Ivory Wayans Writer: Eddie Murphy You really need to watch Eddie Murphy Delirious before watching Eddie Murphy Raw since there is a lot of callbacks to it, but this is the second best concert/stand up movie ever made, behind Eddie Murphy Delirious. 5/5 Eddie at the height of his powers and his n his element. |

Film off screen and missing the opening skit. It's not perfect, but it's got 99% of it, and it's a stand-up special, being off-screen doesn't matter that much. |

If there existed a dislike button, you can bet your life savings that cobretti would smash the fuck out of it on this comment. Here's the verdict: "Is it the generation difference, is it the age group, is it the material that has aged badly or is it that I just do not care for Eddie Murphy's stand-up? No matter what case it is, I did not find this very funny. I like Murphy's, I usually find him very funny in those despite them being from the 80s and 90s, but this stand-up is just boring and unfunny. He has charisma, there is no doubt about that. Just another CGR recommendation that I tore a new one, and I expect the same to happen to me once I post this review." 1.5/5 outdated comedy sucks. |

Balder, I just don't get you and your wrong opinions. Eddie Murphy Raw is an incredible stand up movie that stands the test of time. Maybe they don't like comedy in Norway, or maybe there exists some anti Eddie sentiment up there, but Eddie Murphy Raw is a bona fide classic. Is it because you're watching the Eddie Murphy stand up movies out of sequence or something? |

If it has Eddie Murphy it is an automatic 10 out of 10, we don't even need to ask.

cobretti since we use the rating system 1-5 out of 5, could you give me an example of each rating? One film for each rating? I just don't think I have ever seen you not either loving a thing or hating it. I'm really curious to see some examples.

I just don't think I have ever seen you not either loving a thing or hating it. I'm really curious to see some examples. 1/5: Movies with lots of talking and romance with no tits. No action. No Arnold or Stallone. Chick flicks. Movies like The Notebook. Total bullshit. 2/5: Light action and maybe some sexiness but never any tits or Arnold or Stallone. Designed with the family in mind. Most MCU movies fall into the two star rating. 3/5: Maybe some tits. Maybe some action. Maybe some wisecracks. Maybe some Arnold or Stallone. A serviceable but middle of the road movie. Terminator 3 would be a 3/5. 4/5: Good chance for tits or action. Might be a good possibility of Arnold or Stallone. A kick ass movie that is just missing that one ingredient to push it over the edge. The Stallone Judge Dredd would be a 4/5. 5/5: The best. Has most, if not all elements that make a cobretti approved five star movie. It has tits. It’s action packed. Arnold or Stallone are in it. It’s funny. It has lots of violence. Commando is a 5/5 movie. |

Have a poll with only one choice then. All the options are important for contrast reasons. Not all movies are 10 out of 10. For example I would never give The Big Lebowski a high rating. |
