![]() ![]() It’s incredibly stupid, but it made me laugh, which is how a lot of the gags function in the movie.Īttempts are made to show Red being unsure about his future as a hero, but being worried about not being a famous person with lots of friends isn’t a particularly compelling conflict. She also has a chihuahua dog frozen in a block of ice that she keeps trying to feed, but he can’t eat because he’s in a block of ice. Eagle Island is covered in ice, and its leader, Zeta, tries her best to treat it like a tropical paradise, lounging in a frozen pool or trying to take a shower with ice shards. The film definitely trades purposeful plotting and clever writing for visual gags, and for the most part it works pretty well. Zach Woods also has a small part as an eagle security guard that stood out despite only being a few lines. Leslie Jones’ Zeta is great and makes me wonder why she doesn’t do more voice work. The cast is also funny, even though not every joke lands. It looks cool, and I liked how it was treated as a normal public transportation option. ![]() I also like how the birds use slingshots to transport themselves around the island. The detail in the environments and characters are impressive, especially when Chuck gets to show off his high-speed antics, or the ice meteors land with impressive explosions. The film’s visuals and animation are great. The birds and the pigs decide to form a cooperative team to combat the new threat, and things move on from there. The war has evolved into harmless pranks, but a new threat appears when a third island, Eagle Island, starts launching giant meteoric balls of ice at the other two islands in an effort to take them over. The movie begins with Bird Island’s Red (Jason Sudeikis) and pals Chuck and Bomb (Josh Gad and Danny McBride) living as famous heroes continuing their war with Piggy Island and its leader, Leonard (Bill Hader). The Angry Birds Movie 2 is not a great film, serving mostly as a visual gag and joke machine, but if “solid” is what we can expect from video game movie adaptations in the future, then I consider that a step in the right direction. The sequel is also, similarly, pretty solid. Much like the previous film, most of its cast spent (or are currently spending time) on SNL, along with a collection of other talented comedians. It certainly didn’t demand a sequel, but here we are. I thought it was, surprisingly, pretty solid and featured a story that ended conclusively with satisfying growth for its protagonists. It featured a cast full of SNL alumni and other famous comedians and it grossed an estimated $350 million worldwide. The original Angry Birds Movie was a hit. ![]()
