Coming 2 America is BAD but at least great gowns, beautiful gowns: costume design review

Coming to America (1988) is still one of my favourite movies of all time and a big part of that is due to the phenomenal costume design of Deborah Nadoolman Landis. I knew better than to be super optimistic about the sequel - after all, the current landscape of sequels, reboots and remakes has yet to yield anything as remarkable as the original source material (looking very hard at Fate: The Winx Saga, Mulan, The Incredibles 2 and so on). But when as I'm a glutton for punishment and a big fan of the sequel's costume designer; Ruth E. Carter, I put myself through this three decades too late film. And... I have thoughts. Thanks for watching.
