So the first film was set in Rio and I'm guessing this film will move into the rain forest? did you see that coming? So I'm guessing as the film is set deep within the Amazonian rain forest the plot will cover the destruction of the rain forest and 'Blu' and co becoming naturalised to jungle e that coming? Is any of this film even remotely original in any sense? does it even try?! the answer is no, this is merely the same formulaic albeit gorgeous looking CGI flick we've now seen about a thousand times.

I'm waiting for an animated movie based on dung beetles and elephants.why? I dunno, they haven't milked them yet so game on, we're clearly gonna get an animated movie about every flippin creature on Earth eventually. You should watch Wreck-it Ralph instead, this movie offers nothing interesting.Īnother animated movie based on another species of animal, why? because they can and its another easy money maker. But this is a business, and this movie made money, so a sequel is to be expected. And there's plans for a third movie, which I am dreading. I may not have enjoyed this movie, but it's practically an inoffensive little movie, it's not gonna cause you to pull your hair out, it's just dull and uninspired and it's obvious that this film is, creatively, dried up. Easier to do that than it is to legitimately try to make a good movie that appeals to both audiences, however different they may be. I suppose it's easier to amuse children, what with their age and underdeveloped minds, they're not looking for intelligent storytelling or interesting character development, they just want to laugh at the goofy shit that happens.
I don't understand why it's so difficult. Why is that so hard to figure out? Pixar, for the most part, certainly not on Cars 2, and The Muppets have figured this formula out. Kids can't go to movie theaters by themselves, they need adult supervision.hence why you make it so both the kid and the adult can enjoy the movie. If you've followed my reviews, and why would you, then you know how I feel about this. I'm sure kids will be amused and that's ultimately what this film was intended for, kids' amusement. I don't think there are any more highlights in the film to be quite honest. There are some inspired bits, I thought the soccer scene was cool and the melodramatic love duet between Nigel and Gabi was pretty funny. Can't exactly complain about the film's message, but the way it goes about it is done in an incredibly predictable and tired fashion. The story is eco-frendly, so the hippies in the audience will be happy. Perhaps because I thought the former was one of the greatest action films I've ever seen and this is just a pedestrian sequel to a fairly solid, but unimpressive, film. I watched The Raid 2 over a month ago and I remember more about that movie than I do about this one that I watched last night. To be honest, I'm really having a tough time remembering most of this movie even after a day of watching it. I realize that sounds condescending, but it wasn't intended as such. Not because I'm better, or smarter, than them.
Some people may have bought into that, but I didn't. It's certainly very colorful and vibrant, but I feel it's almost that way because there was really nothing else the film offered, so they'd hope that you'd be distracted by the colorful visuals and just pretend the film was great. But I digress, if there's any reason this film gets two stars it is because of its songs and its animation. I realize everybody loves Frozen, but the songs in that movie are stereotypically Disney to a fault. I'd pick any of these songs over anything on Frozen every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The songs, though, are actually pretty damn good all things considered, it's just got a very different flavor and style than what you'd normally see in a Disney movie. You can just sense them going through the motions as far as plot, character development, and voice acting.
This one, on the other hand, didn't really do much for me. Personally, while I thought the first Rio was a little kiddy, it was still a pretty fun little movie. The first Rio didn't really set the world on fire to the point that everyone was clamoring for a sequel, but here we are.
