Michael Smith thought it was more in line with I'm Gonna Git You Sucka early on in the movie. With how over the top it was.
It was pretty good and had its moments. Would've been nice to have seen some kind of city or the capital of Zamunda this time around. They needed to be in America a bit more imo. Decent fan service flick
This movie had zero comedic tidbits like the original...a good example, the Black awareness pageant with Randy Watson doing the “sexual chocolate!” stomp, Randy kissing the preacher and him being stunned and wiping his cheek, Randy’s mic drop and exit, the preacher’s “IIIII” shuffle during the little sermon, “you all know him as Joe the policeman from the what’s going down episode of That’s My Mama”... the original was full of this.... not even one scene repeatable in the sequel...

The black man is always targeted.
Sounds like a tragic case of overly high expectations, too many people in the writers room+Amazon being heavily invested, and a lack of a real want to create the film.
Eddie had zero interest in making a sequel for decades, he only came out for the paycheck.
The original was pure originality and creativity - at at a perfect time where the crew had some creative control to make their own narrative. It can’t be replicated if it’s soulless - like this one does.
This movie definitely didn’t need to happen, but at least the original is timeless.

Watched it again movie decent , it’s clearly more of a family flick
wesley snipes,the daughters & the funeral scene was dope. General izzi character was Hands down the best
After seeing the trailers my expectations weren’t high

Nah that has everything to do with the director. There was real rhythm to this film like the old one. As I've said before things were absurd in Coming to America, but they took it seriously and thats what made it funny. There was no real try hard stuff in it. A lot of jokes here were forced or lacked precision from the director. Still enjoyable tho.
the lavelle character was extra ordinarily lame. Shouldn't have even made this shyt tbh 
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
You also had the club scene, the St John's game scenes, the scenes at Mcdowells restaurant and his house. Just classic scene after scene. Also felt real, like they were really in Queens and not on some set the whole time. It was an actual film. This wasn't.
Movie was extra lightweight. Eddie wasn't all that funny and the jokes were very predictable. Like the Motumbo cameo. I was like don't tell me they actually got him and then when he stood up I was like oh shyt 
but then they had him do the nonono finger wag like we don't know who this is 
None of this of this got the sharpness of the original.

Yes, the grade was bad. Looked like there was hardly any contrast in the image
and the fact they tried to repeat the jokes from 1988 and make it modern was just lacking of creativity.
