It's not nearly as good as the original. There's a lot of dancing, some recycled clips from the original movie and only a handful of funny moments. I chuckled about 4 times or so, and 0 LOLs.
The plot is as thin as ice and highly predictable.
Eddie Murphy plays more of a supporting role I would say rather than a leading role. The movie is a bit more about his son, whom I felt no connection with at all. There's one character that I just found to be plain annoying. And Wesley Snipes was cringy. His whole character was a joke, but not in a funny way.
There's some CGI in this movie and it is bad by today's standards. I'd say it's on par with Jumanji from 1995.
It looks like the majority of this movie's budget went to the cast and there wasn't much left for anything else.
If you're an adult that loves the original, watch the trailer for this movie and spend your time on something else instead. Even if you're an Eddie Murphy fan you'll probably be disappointed.
