Buckle up and gird your chram: Reviews for the surprise and yet still very much highly-anticipated Borat sequel (whose full title is Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan), have started to come in. The film comes a full 14 years after its predecessor's 2006 release. While Borat references have since come to be perceived as either problematic despite its satirical intent or tragically dated, the Kazakh TV journalist's sudden resurgence this Friday on Amazon Prime Video is the thing most people are understandably wondering about the next outing is: Will it be any good?
Well, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Reviews for the sequel have arrived, and it's looking pretty good for a movie that was hastily put together during a global pandemic. Currently on GameSpot's sister site Metacritic, the movie has a score of 66 from 19 reviews. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, Borat 2 is sitting at 87%. In GameSpot's Borat 2 review, Mike Rougeau said, "What is surprising is the fact that Borat 2 is pretty damn funny."

"If you liked the original Borat when it became a phenomenon almost 15 years ago, but are pretty sure it wouldn't hold up to modern standards of political correctness and general decency--and rightly so--you might be pleasantly surprised by Borat 2's timeliness, focus, and more wholesome sensibilities." - Mike Rougeau [Full Review]
