Reviews & comments

Stuff
pressWith its bickering family of disparate cross-species characters and regular segues to a trio of chicks attempting to rescue one of their number's unhatched siblings, it's hard not to see the similarities between this and the Ice Age series (it even shares a writer – Peter Ackerman). But if you're after undemanding fare for primary schoolers in the next few weeks that you might also get a chuckle or two from, then Birds is the word.

The Guardian
pressVan Orman approaches this expanded universe with something of the visual ambition of Pixar's Brad Bird and a restless, playful spirit reminiscent of the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs films.

Time Out
pressLike 'The Godfather' with more giant purple birds, this is a sequel that improves on the original.

Los Angeles Times
pressThe complications are ludicrous, but the movie navigates them with cheek and verve, and the jokes land with surprising consistency.

The New York Times
press"Angry Birds 2"... tosses story, character and sense aside, and opts for a go-for-broke style of humuor. The hoops our heroes jump through become increasingly surreal and hilarious.

Variety
pressMaintains the balance of scattergun jokes, candy-coated visuals and cheerfully bird-brained storytelling that raked in $350 million worldwide in 2016.

The Telegraph
pressIt is pleasantly manic while its vividly bright colours, swirling like a party pack of Smarties upended over your head, will appeal to your own little birds.

Hollywood Reporter
pressTicks plenty of lightweight fun boxes for its prime target audience of younger children, with just enough adult humour to keep parents from yawning too.

Empire Magazine
pressMoving beyond the confines of the app's premises, The Angry Birds Movie 2 starts slow but flourishes into breezy, colourful fun.
