Angry birds was pretty much the only game I played for a few years as a kid growing up in the early 2010's . When I watched this in 2016, I remember not being impressed and thought I will give it a try when I'm older. Well I did and it has become worse
Before that, lets first talk about the strengths of the film. The animation is great, the characters are all fun and the humor is pretty good. Had me laughing here and there but sometimes the humor is just not it, well this a kids film so I should have expected that which is sort of confusing since by the time this film had came out, most of the audience who grew up with the games had outgrew the fart, potty humor thing and was leaning into the more mature themed films but no.
This adaptation was successful at being faithful to the original property but I felt like the film could have actually worked a lot better if it shied away from the games a little bit and made new ideas because the plot was super thin. Luckily the 2nd film did but it would have been better if it started from here. Another thing is, it lacks the most important elements that determine a movie's quality. That is enjoyability, and entertainment. There was no interesting action scenes, no characters that specifically stood out, no deep or compelling themes nor characters. Because of that, I just don't know what to say or anything
The game itself was super simple with no storyline so maybe I am being a bit too harsh here but that's where you add innovative, crazy ideas to the table like some video game adaptations have done that before which vastly improved the quality of their perspective films
Rating: 6.2/10.
