âComing 2 America,â an Amazon Prime exclusive and the recently released sequel to the legendary 1988 Eddie Murphy film, âComing to America,â is unfortunately a 33-year let-down. The original director, John Landis, doesnât make a return; instead, Murphy reunites with âDolemiteâ director, Craig Brewer. Coming into this film expecting a level of improvement over the original or at least something just as good will unfortunately leave many disappointed. Although there are some redeeming moments, the film is a fairly steep regression in quality that lacks a lot of what made the 1988 classic an experience worth watching.
