Coming 2 America

I appreciate the plethora of cast that returned for the sequel, but the humor fell flat for me. It was predictable and failed trying to recreate the humor of the first movie. The CGI left a lot to be desired as well.

I hated giving this low of a rating, but it is what it is. Perhaps others will like it more.

A far cry from the first one. The only thing good about Coming to America 2 is Wesley Snipes. And what is up with all the songs? If I want to watch singers singing their pop songs, I would just watch them on YouTube. Skip it.

It's a 5.7... and it's trying to be a tribute to the first film-which was epic-but not a good tribute. Some jokes are good, some characters are ok (e.g Wesley Snipes) but the story and the writing are so lazy and uninteresting that instead of a comedy, it's a sleep-athon. I give it above 5 because I liked the music, the performances, the costumes and the fact that the original cast got together for this. And for some nice jokes here and there. But...why didn't they try a bit more? With the likes of Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall you can get a great comedy. However, these guys didn't seem to enjoy much being there. The pace is slow and the energy is low in about 80% of the film. Tracy Morgan is not adding anything new and Leslie Jones... was more annoying than funny. The plus points here are that it's indeed a feel good movie if you don't fall asleep... 5.7/10 They could have tried a bit more.

So glad I ignored all the bad reviews. Good fun movie, seeing all the characters again brought back some great memories. Don't be put off by all the negativity, give it a try for yourself.

Is this as funny or as good as the original? No, never was going to be either. Is this as bad as the 1 star reviews? No it's not either! It's entertaining & funny, with some good links to the original. Apparently the story is weak, well yeah it's a comedy, it ain't written to get an Oscar or golden globe!! It's written for laughs, to sit down, unwind, switch off the brain and smile.
