Instead of creating another Friday, why create something different like Saturday, Sunday with all different characters? That’s the problem...there’s too many remakes of classic movies that will always fall short of the original. I wouldn’t say Next Friday and Friday After Next are terrible movies but they’re definitely not that great either.
Mike Epps is good on screen but he’s definitely not no Chris Tucker who’s talent jumps out in front of you. If Chris was in any of the other Friday movies they would be better but they never was gonna be able to recreate the magic of the first one.
