The Angry Birds Movie 2 was not as good as the first one but is an enjoyable kids' film nonetheless. This movie is about the birds and the pigs who must now team up to stop the immediate threat from newly discovered Eagle Island. Jason Sudeikis gives a great performance. He manages to sell a couple of emotional moments very well while still being funny. Bill Hader is easily the best part of this movie. His character has almost all of the funniest lines. His back and forth with Sudeikis is a lot of fun. Josh Gad and Danny McBride both give good performances in their respective roles but they never had a chance to really stand out. Sterling K. Brown is enjoyable but underutilized in his small supporting role. Leslie Jones did a fine job voicing the villain but outside of a couple of funny moments, her character was annoying. Thurop Van Orman did a good job directing. The animation is definitely improved from the first film. The script is where this movie really falters for me. It is a way too generic and safe compared to the first film. There are still a few adult jokes thankfully, but nowhere near as much as the shockingly dirty first film. Also, the villain is poorly written and just annoying almost anytime she's on-screen. Overall, The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a perfectly fine kids' movie but is inferior to the shockingly good first film.
6/10
