10 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Are Only Going To Disappoint You

9. Coming 2 America

Indiana Jones 5
Paramount Pictures

Sequels to hit comedies that arrive decades after the original haven't exactly set a high barometer for quality, with Dumb and Dumber To, Zoolander 2 and Super Troopers 2 being three of the most recent culprits, and from the outside looking in, Coming 2 America looks like a deliberate effort on Eddie Murphy's part to try and recapture his place near the top of the Hollywood A-list.

While he received rave reviews for his work in Dolemite Is My Name, you'd have to go all the way back to 1999's Bowfinger to find the last great comedy vehicle that Murphy starred in, which could indicate that the best way to continue his recent career renaissance is to stick to more dramatic work instead of being so quick to return to the well.

Coming 2 America is set to arrive in December, a full 32 years after the original, and while there's a solid cast of talent assembled, outside of the nostalgia crowd and fans of the first movie, there's little reason for it to even exist over three decades removed from the first time we saw Prince Akeem.

I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
