Movie was cool to me. But I was on the record saying there’s no way it would match the original so my expectations were lowered.

it’s corny as fukk but I had a few laughs and I enjoyed the chemistry between Lavelle and Mirembe. I even enjoyed Leslie Jones and I’m usually not a fan of her humor.

The rushed the hell out of major plot points and I wasn’t mad about it. For instance, I didn’t need to see 20 more minutes of Lavelle in disbelief that a strange man from Africa said he was his pops. Nor did I need to see Akeem take a dna test. I was glad they just went along with it and flew back to Zamunda.

Movie was ok. This movie is like Tyson vs Jones Jr. Match ...should have happened years ago.

orrrrrr it’s similar in that it should’ve never happened.

Just watched it, not a movie person. But is this how movies are made these days?

Because nothing actually happened in the movie. No build up, no actual story. There's a problem, then the very next scene, problem is solved.

Just seemed completely rushed, like half the movie was cut out.

It's watchable tho

Sadly yes most new movies have no heart imo.

Just watched this, it was cool but not as funny as I hoped it would be. And follows the prince's journey a little too closely, just with the switch-up in setting mostly which I liked. Agree about it playing more like a family film

Also about the women in the film being . Lisa still looking , would have liked to have seen the sister character pop up too.

The story was not fleshed out well my biggest complaint. Also had a family/disney feel compared to the original which is a cult classic. Didnt care for the Wakanda-like graphics and imagery.

Wesley killed it. Enjoyed the callbacks and black references, but the main breh is the weakest part of the movie. Should have wrote around the daughter.

Just finished watching it. What struck me ;

1. The flashbacks-the makeup people did a fantastic job making Eddie and Arsenio look 30 years younger.
2. The Cameos-Morgan Freeman, En Vogue, Salt N Pepa, Gladys Knight, the Duke brothers from Trading Places, Rick Ross, Michael Blackson, Trevor Noah, etc
3. The barbershop scene II was dope.
4. Eddie, Arsenio, Leslie Jones, Wesley Snipes and Tracy Morgan were hilarious... Jermaine Fowler not so much.
5.The costumes people did a great job.
6. Nomzamo Mbatha and Teyana Taylor were outstanding.
7. The story line felt too rushed and all over the place.
8. We expected to believe that Zamunda is a one building city in the middle of a jungle plus how does Wesley Snipes and his goons bust in and out at will? Ain't Zamunda got an army? Come on man.
9. They had to sneak in the feminist agenda bullshyt in there

Overall, feels too much of an American caricature of what an ideal African kingdom would be.

I'd give it 5 /10

This was one of my problems with them trying to put so many people in it. They were simply trying to give out scenes vs building a story
