The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A little disappointing compared to Delirious, however, Raw manages to deliver a few laughs in this stand up comedy sketch. Murphy remains supremely funny in Raw, but it cannot be denied that the goods are on Delirious. In Raw, he earns my nod by having the balls to crack jokes about Mr.T ( I've boycotted him for years) His style of humor remains insane, homophobic, and deliberately raunchy. What I love about Raw is the energy that's backed up during his entire concert performance. Eddie doesn't usually stay in the same place, as he is constantly on the move, and you can rest assured his mind is moving quicker then his body. If you've never seen Delirious, I strongly recommend watching that before dipping your toes into Raw, but you have been warned, Eddie Murphy is DIRTY! Highly offensive, jam packed with enough material to keep you laughing for over 90 minutes, Eddie Murphy is an undisputed champ of stand up comedy film of the 1980's. Another nod is earned by making fun of Bill Cosby ( boy, the jokes he could tell about him today.)

There was once a day when everything Eddie Murphy said and did was hee-larious. Back in 1987, at the height of his powers, Eddie released a movie version of his stand-up act Raw, a sort of follow-up to 1983's Delirious.Film at New York's Felt Room, Eddie discusses Mr T, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor (doing faultless impressions of all), Johnny Carson's costly divorce, relationships, gays, a home-made McDonalds burger that ruined his childhood etc. It's all pure comedy gold. After about half an hour you'll realize that the reason your face hurts so much is because you're smiling too hard. My favorite moment has to be any impression Eddie does of the average white guy, especially the 'white dude dancing' moment.Where did this Eddie Murphy go and who is the man that gives us kiddie drek such as Daddy Day Care and Haunted Mansion? If you need a major dose of Eddie in his prime then check this one out. I promise you'll love it and you'll be quoting it for days.Look out for a youthful Samuel L. Jackson and Basil Wallace as Eddie' uncle and dad too.

Rated R for Pervasive Strong Language and Crude and Sexual Humor. Quebec Rating:13+ Canadian Home Video Rating:18AI saw Eddie Murphy's Raw on BET about a month ago.I must say it is simply hilarious.Eddie Murphy is a very funny comedian and Eddie Murphy's Raw is one of my favorite stand-up comedy routines of all time.Eddie Murphy's Delirious came four years before this.It was very funny but Raw was definitely better! There is an opening skit with an unknown Samuel L Jackson as Eddie Murphy's uncle and it goes on from there.There are plenty of funny topics such as how Bill Cosby called up Eddie Murphy to tell him that he was very vulgar,how Mr.T and Michael Jackson want to kick Eddie Murphy's a**.Eddie Murphy's childhood etc.Raw is a very funny stand up comedy routine and if you find it, watch it! Runtime:93min9/10

Eddie Murphy has to be the Richard Pryor of the 80's. He would star in these comedies that were just hard not to laugh at. Even when he would do things like Delirious and Raw he would still be really funny and when he did stand up he was uncensored. He did what he wanted and that brought him his pay at the end of the day. That was Eddie's passion, Comedy. He was the funniest man of the 80's. He would make any body laugh if he could talk to them. I'm sure that having a conversation with him would have been a great one. Now that he is divorced I feel bad. Now he has kids and is single again. But he isn't the 25 or older comedian he used to be. He kind of had to calm down since being married and having children.
