Coming to America 2 (discussion)

[militantmidget]

The biggest thing I noticed after giving it some thought was that they Disneyfied this movie. The score, the cameras, the feel, everything was reminiscent of a Disney musical, rather than just a proper comedy. Had they done without it and kept it regular, this might’ve faired better.

That being said, I think they should’ve let the original stand alone. This sequel wasn’t needed.

They better not try this with Trading Places.

I agree, but they wanted every generation of black person to enjoy (Kids too). Gotta remember, anyone 25 and younger don't know about how BIG Eddie Murphy was in his heyday. This movie wouldn't be the same if it was just about Eddie and Arsenio. They both 60 plus years old now.

Hollywood not gonna be able to market a big movie with two 60 year olds. Gotta mix in new talent, some old talent, and some new faces debuting.

Personally I enjoyed the movie. I loved Leslie's character. And the young cat I felt did a way better job than I expected.

I really thought the movie was going to be bad from the trailers. But I saw that they really put good effort towards the film, and it showed.

I'd give it 3.5/5 stars.

I liked it?

i liked it too it wasnt going to be more than that anyway
they all killed their roles
i do think they could have chilled with all the rap music tho
lovecraft did that too
and the whole pc thing kinda impacted the movie too

 

[keone]

Wesley was a fool

who auntie is dis?

 

[ikelove23]

I hate Jason Mitchell messed his career up with the sexual harressment stuff. He would of played a better son in this. He's funny without having to be a comedian

[dtownsfinest]

fuck these crackers



Am I wrong? KiKi Layne

There was some bad females in here. Especially her and the barber....wooooo....

 

[dtownsfinest]

I liked it?

You know....I watched it with family the second time around.....actually enjoyed it better. I stand by it wasn’t that funny but the film itself wasn’t as bad as I initially thought.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Raw

It don’t make no sense how fine she is......hopefully she gets more roles over here.

 

[dtownsfinest]

While I find the plot complaints silly (first one's plot wasn't some great believable thing either), there is one question I have to ask...does the palace have guards? Wesley and his team walked up in that joint so many times I thought Nextdooria had already conquered them

Hell yeah they had guards in one scene the damn guards opened up the door for Wesley to walk in with his army. That shit might as well be Wesley house lol.

They gotta sell that context. Glad my boy Bobby Sessions out the D got that record with Megan out of it though.

 

[DixonBawls]

Leslie Jones stole the show

 

[mcguyver]

They should ve left it alone. It was a fun little movie but they shouldn t have touched the classic

I was thinking this. Should've done a spinoff movie but the writing sucked and needed the original to support it.

 

[keone]

Leslie Jones stole the show

she was good

 

[mcguyver]

she was good

Yea Leslie was good.

 

[Quek9]

Yea Leslie was good.

Good and ugly af

 

[cincitystudios]

Just watched it. Give it a 3 out of 5. It’s one of those movies that will play while you clean up the house are some shit.

 

[Darkness's]

I liked it not to bad. I wasnt feeling the royal wedding at the end. That was the only time leslie Jones annoyed me. Akeems son was hilarious. I wont give the jokes away. The cameos was a bit much but Michael blackson was a good choice.

 

[CurtDawg]

I'm looking at the IMDB reviews
And its not looking good at all

 

[Darkness's]

A other thing I dont listen to the internet mob speak or critics. I formulate my own decision as to what I like.

 

[Dirtylakerie]

I didnt like it. And im not going to watch it, in full again. Ill support the film if its released on Blu-ray. The first barbershop scene was the only part that had me rolling. The interaction between Semmi and Baba was funny. But everything else was bad. IMO.

The movie was fine. People tryna compare it to a classic from 30 plus yrs ago.

We wasn't getting superstar eddie and Arsenio in 2021. If the reviewers expected that, then yes, the movie didn't live up to expectations that were too high in the 1st place.

 

[Kubrick]

I liked it. It is not touching the 1st but not too any sequels can. I legit lmao a few times so I got what I came for.

I knock how they made Akeem somewhat of a chump and there were too many story lines, so it was clunky at times.

Overall I was entertained. I going to enter every room like Gen Izzi though, that shit had me rolling.

 

[Database Error]

Hey what is this velvet

 

[Database Error]

It was alright.

 

[Darkness's]

Where was Lisa's sister Patrice?

 

[Rudey]

Where was Lisa's sister Patrice?

Allegedly she and the staff didn't get along, especially Eddie's wife (her sister).
Did Rick Ross made a an appearance?
I never knew they used his house to shoot the movie.

 

[TimRock]

Did Rick Ross made a an appearance?
I never knew they used his house to shoot the movie.

yes, he was on screen twice. he announced to Izzi that Eddie was going to america to retrieve his son.

 

[bham_brotha]

Will never watch it ever again

 

[4 Dimensional]

Not the worst movie I ever saw. Not even close.

But it was definitely cheesy as fuck. Shoulda named it “My Queen is From Zamunda” or some shit like it.

Crammed a lot into the movie. It was strictly a nostalgic flick. A reunion with up and coming actors.

 

[4 Dimensional]

It was a POSITIVE though. Definitely good for the imagery and aesthetics of us. But it still doesn’t absolve it being a subpar flick.

 

[Deezz]

Leslie Jones stole the show

Not in a good way. Way too over the top buffoonery IMO.
