The same structure and main dynamics of the first movie adapted into a family setting. I have to admit I fell asleep towards the end, although just a couple of minutes during the never-ending sea battle. Once you get used to the unquestionable visual spectacle, you are left with a movie that is way too messy and bloated, proposing the same exact dynamics and tropes multiple times without adding anything, all at the service of shallow messages on environmentalism and dated views of family roles. Strange they didn’t have a barbecue in the end like in a Fast & Furious movie. Not to mention all the retcons and ridiculously dated kids' movie tropes they used just to bring back original cast members and build unneeded family bonds between characters at all costs. The more I think about it, the lower my score gets, so I’ll just stop here and leave two stars for the undeniable productive effort.
