All the wittiness, charm, subtle humor, great music of the first Angry Birds movie
is missing completely from the sequel. The first movie grabbed you immediately with a great opening sequence and went up from there, this movie is turd from start to finish with a few moments of second rate laughs. And I mean few.
It doesnt help that Rovio, in their infinite wisdom, cancelled the video game that the first movie was based on six months after the first film opened. What a terrible executive decision by Kati Lavoranta no wonder Rovio is now a second rate company. Angry Birds FIGHT! was a great self-promo for the movie and obviously without the gameplay and plot of the (extremely expensive) tablet game the writers ran out of clever and good ideas for context and subplot for the movie. Im not sure what was more nauseating, the lack of subplot that forced the 'wittle babbee biwds' on us or the hood rat bad guy whos last line in the film is "I's married" . Yeah, 'for reals'.
My daughter was six when the first one came out and she has watched that one at least 8 times, she loves it. So do I. We just finished watching this one and she said "The first one is better and there is too much mushy stuff and its not that funny".
Angry Birds FIGHT! was one the best games ever and it spawned a fantastic movie. Rovio has gone downhill since and they had potential for a ton of sequels but there is no way I will pay money to see this in a theater. Maybe as a dollar DVD rental, thats it,
