Fuck it into detail, we told them niggas to go and watch it!:lol:

Damn. The story was shit and some of the shit was tasteless. I'm all for helping the lady from Saturday Night Live get some work but that shit was so out of place. My Bastard Son from America. I'm surprised it was as bad as it was.......

I had no problem with it living off of the original, that’s the story of the movie.

My problem with the son and Leslie. I didn’t like her or her character and I didn’t like the son, fuck it he was just wack! :lol:
See for me....their material was bad but I thought Leslie was probably the only thing to even get a chuckle. I didn't laugh at shit. I think maybe I did at the barbershop scene again. But they showed that shit in the trailer.

You gotta watch it. You may actually enjoy it. Its just one mans opinion. I'm not gonna deter no one form watching it. Just highly disappointed. I'm glad I watched it first and read the comments afterwards I probably would've stayed away.

At the end of the day its black star power in here....that's not put in the best position but its good seeing some of these faces again and for that it was worth at least watching one time.

In your review you said it was “Aight”, should we listen to you or your opinion? Or should we say fuck you too because you are a part of the BGOL review board?

Everyone has their opinion, I do agree that everyone should watch it to get their own opinion. Unfortunately many who haven’t watched yet are already told it’s bad and that will be on their minds before they even watch it. Which is bad.

I didn’t think it was horrible, but I didn’t think it was good. Put it this way, there was way more that I didn’t like than I did like about the movie.

Oh, and I never wanna see it again! :roflmao:
My whole point was to have people watch it themselves. I read the comments right before I watched the movie and was expecting to see the worst shit ever. Somebody said they fucked up and this could have been epic. No it couldn't have. This movie was never going to be epic. We all knew it was gonna be exactly what it was. Especially after the previews.

You’re right and I definitely feel where you’re coming from.

I heard when it was released last night and I specifically wanted to see it before I read any comment.

I didn’t think it would be epic but a lot of people were in it so I can see how many had Very high hopes.

What on earth did you laugh at in this movie? I'm not even trying to be funny I'd like to know....

I would also like to know what parts people found funny.

I'm not gonna remember shit from this movie in like two weeks except how nice Teyanna's ass looked in that last dress.

This was just another one of those Eddie Murphy return-to-comedy flops, when Eddie had that run when he was just dropping trash like that Pluto Nash shit. It's just that this movie had OG Coming to America to use as a crutch. And they used the fuck outta that crutch.

I think I may have chuckled during the barbershop scene, and I don’t chuckle.

Other than that I was looking at the movie like it was a museum painting.

I saw the original when I was 12, or 13, years old. The royal bath, sexual chocolate, and the bathroom scene, are the only funny parts I remember.
What on earth did you laugh at in this movie? I'm not even trying to be funny I'd like to know....
(1) Wesley's introduction, they said Mufassa was based on him; (2)The way Wesley walked in; (3) ) that bitch was still hopping on one leg and barking, then she growled at Eddy. (4)the candle; (5) the barber shop scene; (6) Leslie gettin her pussy ate in the bath; (7) Morgan and Arsenio arguing, then Morgan saying he'd cut Arsenio... I could go on.

If you didn't like it, you didnt like it. Whatever. But ya'll are trying to make this into anothet Soul Plane, but this movie was not that bad.

Ook yeah I didn't find any of that funny but the barbershop scene but its all good. We probably just like different types of humor. I will say they wasted Wesley on here. He put his best foot forward. I'd probably say for me personally script wise he was the only thing worth enjoying.

It was never going to live up to the first. People saw the trailer and said it was trash so we know people are going to knock it before they even see it.

But as someone who saw it....it was just a bad film and shit I think I did laugh more in Soul Plane then this.

I think someone out of touch with comedy wrote this. I don't know if its Eddie or who.

Making it PG13 may have hurt is one too.

I disagree. This could've been better. This was a hustle. A quick cash grab. Nothing more nothing less. Bad Boys For Life was just as good as the other two if not better.

Bill and Ted 3 is a prime example of the approach they should've taken. Its a silly movie but it was respectable to the films before it. This movie relied on the same humor that made us laugh in the 1st one....and then when it was time to bring something fresh and new....all we got was some corny shit.

Ryan Coogler or a fresh new voice would've did this justice. Craig Brewer ain't give a fuck. Either that or the studio stepped in. Something happened.

30 years too late.... Like someone said Its a celebration movie...

They should have based the movie like 15 to 20 years later...
It seems like an old script they forced to fit in 2020...

Fancy still dropping flowers 30 years later...
Vanessa 30 year Dog curse...
The Barber Shop crew should have been dead...

And Leslie Jones just over does it for me...

Brightspot... Wesley Snipes...

I just finished watching it and I would say it was ok for the sake on continuing a storyline and making it modern.

I didn't find anything funny in it but I was kinda happy to see Randy Watson and Melted fucking chocolate and the old Men in the shop still talking shit or swallowing spit.

They did a good job of adding in or playing off of what's hot now,Black Panther-ish,African music and I couldn't help but notice how the main character reminds me of Kevin Hart in how he comes off on camera,I wonder was Eddie thinking about about Kevin or naaaw.

Watch it like everyone else said

cool....and Soul Plane had some mad funny parts, I've re-watched it and laughed every time....and i'm known as a snob when it comes to films and any type of art.

i'm gonna support....Gonna check it out this weekend and see for myself.

Not going in with ANY type of expectations. I'm shocked at people who were expecting it to match or exceed the level of the Original.

The movie was definitely living off of the original. The jokes, CGI animals, story etc were garbage.

Once I accepted the fact that this was just a reunion with some beautiful young sistas added in, I was okay with it.
I agree...just finished it...pretty much a pleasant stroll down memory lane....it was aight...a lot depends on your expectations but nobody should have expected Coming to America greatness...it wasnt as bad as the initial BGOL reviews made me think...kinda has that feeling that it will actually look better over time without all the expectations

It was BAD.

Felt like cameos for cameo sake, and a lot of it was just riding on the nostalgia for the first movie. No compelling reason for this to have been made outside of the fact that they COULD do it.

3/10

Halfway through... Cameos are the only reason this shit is getting burn. Story is weak and it really isn't funny. I knew it couldn't possibly live up to the first, but this honestly isn't very good. Call it anything else and it still wouldn't be good.

I think the bold is the biggest problem with many current movies. They want it to be modern so bad but miss the art.

20mins left and this is not good. I chuckled maybe once. It's barely entertaining. All these cameos, deep fakes, and we can't even get Patrice back??? Man, this is this generations movie. I'm good.
