Angry Birds 2 feels more or less the cinematic equivalent of a Creeper hanging onto a rope or something.
He's at the end of an Action Scene. No arms,no legs,just his head,hanging (and "chewing") on a rope as the tension-y end that feels like it'll end on a pretty good note,but that,through little flaws that outweigh the good stuff,feels like an uncertain possibility. Yeah,there are surprises here and there,but,overall,is just a weird product that doesn't end well.
But hey,at least there was a story in the middle of it.
First off,I love that this is,first and foremost,a character movie (unlike the first one,where it didn't know where to go with the lead),as it tackles a certain element that I don't see often in Superhero Movies post-Origin: Will the Hero be loved by many for ages? Is he always going to be the standout for many and not be taken instantly as a menace?
Also please,keep doing these movies. If anything,they'll be the only good musical work by Heitor Pereira. Only this time,he tackles the John Powell,where he repeats certain themes in different ways,and it's always enjoyable to listen to.
The humor is either great humor or a masterclass in horrible writing. Sometimes you have the kind of poop joke I'd love to see more (or an Invisible Spray lasting forever),while other times it's a painfully unfunny Baby Shark joke that pissed me off more than the dab joke they did at the beginning. That was where the movie lost me. Or it was the Snapchat joke,I don't know…
Now hear me out on this one,but am I the Only one who noticed a kinda big downgrade in the Animation Department? Not that everything looked bad,but now Sony Pictures Animation takes the helm instead of Rovio,and apparently everything felt so...rocky. Especially compared to the laser-focused animation of the first movie,where it was random movements,or whatever they showed us with Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse,where they can still animate characters in perfect ways. And the pacing was just as fast as something like The LEGO Batman Movie,where you had to make heads or tails about what was going on in case you didn't follow. Although it definitely made for a quick seat. A good example of that would be the beginning,where they hammer in hardcore several plot points because...idk,the director was afraid you'd not instantly care for Red?
Overall it was the sunrise movie of 2019 alright,but at the same time I still think IT was a better surprise,especially considering that this had the familiar tropes of a kids flick. One that I have to ask. You a good Animated Movie? Or a miserable Kids Movie? Make or break,Sony,c'mon.
