Peter C Pretty similar to the first film, in a good way. But if you don’t enjoy Tracy Morgan playing the only character he ever plays in anything then be prepared to fast forward often Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Stephen C A failure in 1 hour and 49 minutes. The worst of Eddie Murphy, James Earl Jones and Arsenio Hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Kevin P A decent sequel that's charming to revisit, but falls into the same traps as most modern legacy sequels. The returning character bits are fun, but the Leslie Jones and Jermaine Fowler subplot is a mixed bag, with some weird dialogue where characters announce their emotions and melodramatic. The movie also falls into the legacy sequel trap by regressing Akeem's character arc with the excuse of "Oh now he became his father so we can repeat the plot of the original movie with a daddy issues twist". There's also an uncomfortable nonconsensual original to Akeem's parentage that's played for laughs and never addressed. And sadly Lisa doesn’t have much to do this time aside from just being the naggy wife stereotype. That being said, it was really nice of the movie to being back so much of the retuning cast members from the original film, both big and small names. It's touching that this got to be James Earl Jones' final film role (with a great scene at his pre-show funeral). The cameos were also nice, and it's nice that the movie chooses to spend more time in Zamunda instead of just repeating the "Oh No we don't understand New York" plot again. It's not great, but it's fairly entertaining if you're a fan of the original. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Chris B I am watching it for the second time. Much better appreciation on the move songs and themes. It's not meant to be complex just enjoyed. On par with the first for sure and the way Eddie plays the different characters is second to none.
