AAA Review - Angry Birds 2 - Second is always not the best

This sequel continues the story from the first Angry Bird movie with the Pigs islands still at war with Birds island. But when a new threat emerges from a third island, the Pigs realised they needed to form an alliance with the angry Birds to prevent an all out annihilation.

While not a fan of the game, I had known about Angry Bird for a long time. The first movie was nice and memorable as it reminded us of how the game first got started. Funny battling between the Pigs and Birds with catapults and unique abilities of different birds. However, such traits were not seen in the second movie and it looks totally not an Angry Bird production.

Quick Summary

Birds island and Pigs island are technically still at war. Red (the red bird) and his gang were heroes from the last movie and finding their place on the island by protecting against the Pigs.

Soon, the evil eagle Zeta attacks the Pig island. Sensing a retaliation is needed, Leonard the Pig's King formed an alliance with Red and began to counter launch attacks on Zeta's eagle island. The group got bigger with more characters joining suck as Chuck's (the yellow bird) sister.

Much of the movie involves the birds infiltrating the eagle island, capture and escaping, launching silly attacks, and finally ending with help from an unlikely hero. Happy ending as typical of a family cartoon.

Review

Angry Birds 2 is definitely a kids favourite. Funny characters (Silvers, Chuck, Leonard, etc), fast paced actions especially in the second half of the movie. Kids love such movies and they sit through the whole thing feeling entertained. But as grown ups, it is difficult to appreciate.

If you had played the game, Angry Birds is all about launching the birds from catapult and raining attacks on the Pigs. Those were evident in the first movie but totally missing in this second instalment. It doesn't feel like an Angry Bird theme movie without any angry and flying birds. The scriptwriters seem to have miss the point.

It is inevitable that viewers will compare Angry Birds 2 with the first movie, which was, in my opinion, more exciting and better action sequence. When birds start flying everywhere, it is fun to watch. But Angry Birds 2 was lacking many of those adventures. It gets kinda boring for me in some parts of the show.

But still, even with a weak plot, Angry Birds 2 is a good recommendation for family with kids to spend the weekend together. Just don't expect it to be better than its predecessor.
