Leading up to this movie, the first trailer made me want to see it. Every subsequent trailer made me want to see it less and less. Almost gave it a miss.
It's very much a movie where you need to switch off your mind before you go in, otherwise the flaws, plot, etc will ruin what is essentially a fun movie. It can be very enjoyable if you switch yourself off enough. But that's a big if. The fun aspects made me want to rate this movie an 8 out of 10, the flaws & plot made me want to rate it a 3 or 4 out of 10. I compromised on 6 out of 10.
CRAP RUBBISH TERRIBLE . Not much else to add.
The movie feels absolutely soulless to me. I was not able to find compassion to any characters. And I didn't like how original scores were mixed with some random music tracks. I can't describe it, but I feel there are plot holes the size of a giant Swiss cheese.
It also painfully reminded me The Midnight Sky, I actually thought Hanks was there too.
Naught terrible about it, but 'Rio 2' is a boring - if colourful and well meant - follow-up to the 2011 original.
The whole plot is basically just a typical family drama fest, filled to the brim with the clichés of relative and love quarrels. It's also entirely predictable, which doesn't help. A few of the characters from the first film are shoehorned in too, especially Nigel (Jemaine Clement).
Jesse Eisenberg (Blu) and Anne Hathaway (Jewel) reprise their roles, Eisenberg is the better of the two. Bruno Mars joins the cast, I actually liked his voice for Roberto but unfortunately his character is forgettable.
I'd guess the younger viewers will like this, as well as a number of others. For me, it's just very average.
Squwaaack!!! Polly wanna watch something different!!!
Excellent art and animation. But while I appreciate the ambition, this movie stinks of pretentiousness and is an absolute slog to get through. I've watched movies that were three or four hours that felt faster than this.
I see that this film has spoken to a lot of people, both online and people I know, so I would still recommend this to people who seem interested in it to see if it speaks to them the same way. At best, it seems like it will change your life and the way to think about everything, and at at worst you waste 90 minutes of your time. It's still a risk worth taking.
It has a few good jokes there. It will probably be funnier to older/ married people. Expected more but it is what it is.
Really bad. Same routine of the last 10-15 years, nothing new. Jokes about when he was in the 60's , joke about cellphones when they came out 15 years ago.
Man I love that U knew when to retire. Do it again.
Well. It's your basic superhero movie. I am kinda biased here, but some moments in there were dumb. )< Like, how did thet ferrous wheel break? But overall. Good for the kid whose mom abandoned him, then the kids gets superpowers from a weird wizard.
If you are a fan of the superhero stuff, it's a movie for you. I just came to the college at the wrong time, so I decided to visit a movie theater to watch this movie.
While I was totally captivated by the skillful animation, the story was very general and basic, with some familiar characters thrown in along the way to distract from a barebones story.
I liked the entry into the internet, seeing the other Disney characters, and the mid-credit scenes. Other than that this film was mostly meh.
Most confusing movie I've seen in a long time. And I can normally keep up with most movies. Didn't finish watching because the payoff just wasn't happening.
With a cast this strong, this should be so much better. However, it remains an entertaining if forgettable courtroom drama, pretty much in keeping with every adaptation of a Grisham novel. The films moves briskly and the message of the film is well meaning wish fulfilment, but the plot is thin and contrived and stretches credibility to breaking point. Hackman and Hoffman are always watchable however, and both Cusack and Weisz do well to flesh out rather dull characters whose predictable motivation is revealed near the end.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this at first. A film about gender politics and the Mens Rights Activist group going head-to-head with Feminism seemed, well, boring and bad. I was so wrong. This film digs deep and peels away at the hidden, and highly misunderstood, layers of how not only women and men both view each other, but the societal impact it has had and the problems it continues to propel. I was left in this sense of heart broken awe that I've never experienced before. This is NOT a film about the MRA. This is a film about Gender Politics and the problems that have arisen because of those political debates. This needs to be shared and watched with as a many people as possible. We have so many issues to work though in this world, and if we can't even learn how to work together in the most basic and fundamental ways, then I feel that we are ultimately doomed as a species and as a whole.
