The 'Angry Birds' movies fail to replicate the simple satisfaction of lobbing flightless buzzards at wobbly fortresses stacked with snickering green pigs JustinCChang's review
In the “Angry Birds” video games, you use a slingshot to lob flightless buzzards at wobbly fortresses stacked with snickering green pigs. Some quick mental physics is involved, depending on how carefully you care to estimate the trajectory of each bird and the height of each structure. But the satisfactions of these puzzles are as basic and primal as an explosion in a Michael Bay movie. They have a wondrous conceptual simplicity.
“The Angry Birds Movie 2,” a riotous burst of computer-animated slapstick silliness directed by Thurop Van Orman, further complicates the plot and the character dynamics — gratuitously, but enjoyably. Things are looking up for Red, who is now celebrated rather than ostracized. Red is now the beloved hero of Bird Island and the leader of its ongoing prank war with Leonard and all the other annoying green oinksters on Pig Island.
