Angry Island
New photos of an old MOC.
I saw Angry Birds 2 yesterday with Frost Junior. The first Angry Birds movie was surprisingly good, far better than it had any right to be - and this MOC was built shortly after it's release.
Angry Birds 2 is simply not as good as the first. It's a bit of a mess really, unable to decide who it's target market is. An M rated movie that leans heavily into, and gets some of it's best moments from, toilet humor. A movie that goes for the "More is more" approach rather than focusing on it's core beats and making them stronger. The result is undeveloped main plots, left-field side plots that never quite make sense, new characters that are "Wacky" for the sake of "Wacky" and are simply jarring alongside the original cast, and nothing truly gets the attention it deserves.
It is also frequently a pretty movie (the exception being the new character designs) It has it's fair share of funny moments, but the result is uneven mishmash that'll be quickly forgotten.
It's not the harshest criticism that can be leveled at a kids movie, especially speaking as a parent who will inevitably be dragged along to them (and I do love my animated movies in general) it's just not a ringing endorsement.
Now I'm going to go put on the angry birds cartoon in the background, and do some MOC building.
