Leave your thoughts about The Angry Birds Movie 2.
| The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckLet’s offer up some praise for this sequel-to-a-movie-based-on-a-smartphone-game, for finding a way to actually improve on the 2016 original in a way that’s clever but not snarky, sweet but not syrupy. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzThe goofier and more random the movie is, the better it is, and it certainly gets goofier and more random as it goes. |
| TheWrapJason SolomonsThe tone and the plot take some time to settle, but once they’ve hit their stride (and adults decide to surrender their senses and go along for the ride), the bird and pig unit become almost affable in their daftness. |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangThe complications are ludicrous, but the movie navigates them with cheek and verve, and the jokes land with surprising consistency. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerNone of the characters are awful, even in their selfish lows. Leonard is blithely affable, backed by his occasionally useful sidekick, Courtney (Awkwafina), so it's OK that he sides with Red (much as Red resents it). |
| The PlaylistAsher LubertoAngry Birds Movie 2 fills the screen with flashy characters, appealing set pieces and a voice cast filled with lively voices. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeVan Orman, Emmy-nominated creator of the quirky, cult-inspiring kids’ cartoon series “The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack,” brings just the right level of dippy zeal to the project, committing to extended, farcical routines that, at their most immaculately choreographed and paced, channel the pure, physical hilarity of vintage Chaplin or Sellers. |
| The New York TimesBilge EbiriThe hoops our heroes jump through become increasingly surreal and hilarious. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chandler LevackJust like its mobile incarnation, The Angry Birds Movie 2 simply pelts you with loud, shrieking diversions. The filmmaking has levelled up, but you’re still wasting your time. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonIt may lack the refined wit and revered pedigree of blue-chip animation franchises such as Toy Story, but it still ticks plenty of lightweight fun boxes for its prime target audience of younger children, with just enough adult humor to keep parents from yawning, too. |
