I didn't have high expectations going into this movie but happily it turned out to be a lot better than expected, after about the first 15 minutes.
There are plenty of laughs for little ones and a lot aimed at adults as well but I am not sure about older children and teens. I enjoyed the silliness as well as the jokes as the slap stick worked well. It also rattles along at a good pace as well with little time for anyone to get bored.
The film doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is, harmless family fun. There are no moral overtones and it has the lightest of stories but that shouldn't deter anyone.

This film tells the story of the birds and the pigs uniting to combat against a common enemy.
I have to say this film is way funnier than I expected. The characters are cute, the jokes are funny, and there is actually a sense of adventure and captivation as well. The film is a light-hearted, a great brain off watch.

Birds and Pigs unite for the sequel based on a mobile app game. The plot is predictable but that's not the purpose of watching this, the purpose here is to have fun. Dialogues are worth the laugh, you can imagine the actor's performance while watching this. The story is straightforward to the objectives and the character's are well written to interact greatly with one another. A decent fun sequel that entertains in a better way than the first film.

High energy, colourful, animated adventure sequel, based on a phone app.
The eagle leader of a 3rd icy island, wants to destroy the bird and pig islands to create their own paradise. The birds and pigs call a truce, they team up and assemble a super-team to fight the common enemy and save their homes. There's lots of nonsense slapstick humour and gags for both kids and adults.
This movie wasn't on my watch list, but our granddaughter wanted to see and she enjoyed. This is a movie for kids, though more entertaining than I was expecting.

Angry Birds 2 will make you very happy.
Amazing comedy for kids and adults.
Great Story with didactic plot.
Awesome direction.
Comedy relieves stress and this movie will enchant you on my own responsibility.
I wasn't fond of the voice acting of one of the leading characters which ruin the movie for me. Too bad because the overall message is a good one. Bummer.

After waiting 3 years for this, it was worth the wait. This movie has great new characters along with the original cast. This hilarious film is great for all ages and can't wait to see it again.
SYNOPSIS:
Red (Jason Sudeikis) and his crew create a truce with the pigs in order to save their respective islands by stopping the wrath of the eagles on Eagle Island.
REVIEW: Okay, how are these movies so entertaining? Honestly? I went into the first Angry Birds movie expecting nothing and I ended up being pleasantly surprised and now I watch this one and it may even be better. The little parallel story going on with the 3 chicks were great as well as the main plot line. There are so many jokes that hit so well for adults as well. There are a category of films that have a children's demographic, but an adult can enjoy as well. Film like this and The LEGO Batman movie which are short, have kid jokes that aren't overly corny and throw in jokes for the adults as well. It's funny, because they're childish immature jokes, but also have inappropriate connotations so it makes it funnier since it's in a children's movie and they're completely oblivious. Every character here serves a purpose to the story and I had a blast the whole time. 7.1/10.

I don't remember much from the first movie but I do remember that Red, the main male character, was a rational character who always had a plan and was instrumental in the birds getting their eggs back. In this movie however, he is reduced to an incompetent buffoon just so his love interest and main female character, Silver can look good by comparison. Silver is easily the most unlikable character in the whole movie and is not even funny. She is also kind of a Mary Sue which makes her character incredibly boring. I would rate this a 2/10 but the other male characters like Bomb and Chuck made the movie at least bearable with their funny antics. I have nothing against strong female characters if they are written well and not shoe-horned in like in this movie.

A film that opens towards the end. The first scenes were really boring and ridiculous, but after the second half of the film, it really became clear. Music selections, funny scenes, dialogues were fine. It's a nice sequel. It's better than the first movie.
⭐ 100/64

"Angry Birds" got a sequel. Worse movies have gotten sequels.
The birds and pigs are still enemies, but their feud is less serious now. They had to join forces to defeat another enemy: an eagle (or secretary bird) on another island launching ice balls at both islands.
It was somewhat funny. Some of the humor was as crass as it was in the first. I could see how it would offend some sensibilities. AB2 isn't an essential movie, so do your due diligence and enjoy. Or not.

This movie is a big disappointment. I wonder how great this series could be if prepared nicely, but now it is all lost. The story was bad and the most important thing there was no anger at all in angry birds🙄. Really I mean if even red is not angry, how you can call them angry birds. Now the situation is more worse and I don't think I will ever ask for a sequel. The first film was much above this one.
Its good because most video game movies are quiet bad and most sequals are usually bad but this one is better than the original

A family drama and kids entertainer. Without the prior knowledge of its predecessor, the story holds strong as well as aligned.
Background music/score is EPIC. It's like watching a sitcom with some of the best SONGS in the history being played.
Screenplay was applaudable with tons of improvisation and Bollywood references by the Dub Artist KAPIL SHARMA, KIKU SHARDA and ARCHANA PURAN SINGH.
Animation by DreamWorks has always been classic but always faced compition from Pixar, Disney (Animation), Universal (Animation) etc.
DreamWorks was repeatitive with its concept from the Ice-Age and Despecible Me which was the only let down. Also the story was predictable yet stayed funny throughout.

Another cute story ruined by unnecessary feminism and sexuality. The male birds - heroes and center of the story for a long long time - were made to look idiots who were in need of a female leader who obviously was smart way way smart. What has happened to Hollywood? Why genderism in each movie?
It's 2019, mobile games have evolved and Angry Birds is apparently still a thing. As shocking as this might sound, the sequel to the critically divisive 2016 CGI adventure actually improves on the first.
Some time after the events of the first film, Pig King Leonard (Bill Hader) has waged war against the Angry Birds for the devastation of Piggy Island. However, when Piggy Island is hit with a massive ice ball, Leonard discovers a third island. This new location is overseen by Zeta (Leslie Jones), a vengeful eagle.
Now seeking a truce with the Birds, Leonard and the Pigs need their help in stopping Zeta's reign of terror. Red (Jason Sudeikis) is skeptical but agrees on the condition of once again playing hero.
Gathering the team together -- including hyperactive speedster Chuck (Josh Gad), ticking time bomb known as, well, Bomb (Danny McBride), Leonard's assistant Courtney (Awkwafina), and Pig inventor Garry (Sterling K. Brown) -- they realize that they're missing a brainiac, who emerges in the form of Silver (Rachel Bloom), Chuck's little sister, whose banter with Red has very obvious romantic tension.
In a subplot, hatchlings Zoe (Brooklynn Prince), Beatrice and Lily (Faith and Sunday Urban) accidentally lose track of Zoe's unhatched siblings, taking them on a journey of their own.
Of course, the last thing to expect from a movie based on such a game is, well, for it to be better than average. The Angry Birds Movie 2 is. It may come off in promotional material as silly and juvenile, which it is but couple that with a lot of parental bonuses and you got quite the entertaining 97 minutes. 4/5.

I was going into this with very low expectations. Just was taking my daughter that wanted to see it. Actually ended up laughing out loud more than I thought I would. Has a couple of adult jokes that kids might not get. Surprisingly entertaining. I could even see myself watching it again.
I hate when you go and see a sequel and its Director from the original is not present and we now have some one who clearly hasn't seen the first movie which was a blast!! Writing, well this is terrible , plot not original and characters are nothing like themselves. I loved laughing at scenes with my kids in the original as it was so cleaver in how it was written and delivered. In this sequel it is not funny at all and i actually fell asleep twice due to it being so boring!
Clearly This director wanted to please stuck up parents and deliver a message , i hate to say it , we have enough of those already. Such a shame......
Leading character voice wasn't entertaining. Overall message to work together is good one.
