Could've been better
29 July 2016
Angry Birds Movie is a movie based off of the hit game/app, called Angry Birds. There was also a cartoon that came out back in 2013 called Angry Birds Toon which has also received mediocre reviews and may have also been an unnecessary adaptation, though I haven't seen it. But what's different is that this one gives the birds legs and dialogue to work with.

It stars Red, a hot-headed red bird who reacts childishly to almost everything. Now, I am not a fan of irritable characters but in some scenes, I could see why the things that annoy him would be annoying, like for instance, a bird sitting next to you sneezing on your popcorn while you're trying to enjoy a movie.

Red and his friends, the crybaby, Bomb, and the hyperactive, crazy Chuck encounter pigs, who want to destroy the island. So, the kind- hearted Red and his friends must do something to try to stop them, which includes acting angry and using slingshots while also using special powers (now, I don't remember that in the game).

The character Chuck is usually really annoying. I don't see what's the deal with him zipping around but they could've developed his character more. He rarely has his moments where he's being kind, but unfortunately, it's stopped by Red, who's better but is still a mediocre character.

Bomb sometimes whines and it gets pretty annoying. Terrence is probably the best character out of this that I could think of. He's above average as he can be a little too aloof but his grunts are pretty funny and he does have some redemption towards the end. His character is inconsistent overall.

The movie tries to stay true to the franchise, but it has some unrealistic moments like the birds using special powers (now, I don't know if there is a game where that could happen, but if there isn't, put that in a game!) And I don't know how the baby birds can sing that well already and the village be restored that fast.

The animation and character designs are kind of cute, they do have some flaws but they're alright.

This was an unnecessary, corny adaptation to the game. Though, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, it does have some funny moments. It relies unnecessarily on crude humor. And the mid-credits scenes were annoying.
