Why do so many of Eddie Murphy’s classic movies have such poor reviews?

I was scrolling through Eddie Murphy on rotten today and was surprised how many of his classic 80's and 90's movies that people love got poor reviews, take a look at his oldest movies:

Besides Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop 1, every other older movie he got is much lower than I expected. Coming 2 America only a 73%? Beverly Hills Cops 2 a…48%? WTF?

Harlem Nights, Beverly Hills Cops 2, Boomerang, Life, even Nutty Professor should be much higher. I thought these movies were classics. At least Bowfinger got good reviews.
