The only reason this movie exists is not like the Lego movies where people can share their passion for the toys, but the amount of money they could milk off of this game from iPad kids. In the end, it’s not really meant to be a Pixar film or anything. It’s a great light-hearted movie to switch your brain off to, and you could tell that the movie wants its viewers to feel that way with its simplicity.

Instead, it made me feel pretty good, albeit being forgettable. In conclusion, The Angry Birds Movie 2 didn’t make me angry. I didn’t find the jokes in the first movie funny, but I chuckled a few times here, especially during a scene where the three little birds accidentally launch themselves into space, with David Bowie’s Space Odyssey in the background. There’s a tiny subplot that’s similar to (but cuter than) the squirrel in Ice Age, in which three birds try to protect their always-disappearing sibling eggs. Oh, and The Angry Birds Movie 2 is funnier. The new cast is also impressive, you’ve got Awkwafina as Courtney, Leslie Jones as the villain Zeta, Pete Davidson as Jerry, and JoJo Siwa voicing both Jay and Kira. The studio proved that it took time and effort to build a genuine plot rather than depending on the game to make a quick buck at the expense of the audience. It has a good message about forgiving your foes and not judging a book by its cover, making it easier for children to relate to. The character development and the pacing are much better than the first Angry Birds movie.

If there’s anything that vastly improved in The Angry Birds Movie 2, it’s the storyline. The creators made the risky but ambitious decision to veer away from the games’ source material, introducing new characters and locations, as well as forming an alliance between the games’ long-running enemies.
