Surprisingly good
12 May 2024
There were literally so many things were up against the sequel of the angry birds movie. The first already established the characters as it is, it was being made from Sony Pictures Animation when they were known for being the literal worst, a video game adaptation sequel that has never been done before. Despite it's difficulties, the sequel surprisingly came out significantly better than the original and went beyond my expectations quite a bit. I actually like the

Despite it's title, this is hardly a video game adaptation since it introduces completely new characters, settings, but I'm actually fine with that. Making another adaptation to a very simple game would have legit made this film very bad and the first didn't even execute it that well anyway so I'm glad they decided to go with a more original, creative route. I actually like the heist plot and I found Silver to be interesting. As someone who is interested in physics, her character surprisingly had some charm and fun although I felt it was a bit weird because they are Romanizing Red with his friend's sister

The humor was genuinely peak comedy. I laughed out loud quite a ton during it even if some of it was very non-sensical typical kid humor. But I also hardly laughed in the first film so it is definitely an improvement

If I'm being honest, the animation in the first looks sort of outdated but the visuals were genuinely great in this film. It's very colorful, vibrant and the new characters have good designs.

However, I do have one major complaint. The plot is still super simple and straightforward. I definitely prefer the more fun, original plot than the first's boring faithful plot but both of them lack depth

Despite that, Angry Birds movie 2 was a vast improvement over 1 and kind of left me wanting more of this franchise(It probably won't return because of this film bombed and that SEGA owns the franchise now)

Rating: 7.4/10.
