We decided to bring our kids to catch the show as it seems like a nice and cute show... But end of the day, I learnt new morals which seems to infer humans are like pigs in the show. Well, probably I am just thinking too much.
In a nutshell:
The most successful phone game of all time, is the Angry Birds, with over 2 billion downloads across all platforms as at 2014 (according to Wikipedia), spawning theme parks, merchandise like food, products, cartoons etc. In order to rejuvenate and milk the cash cow before the popularity dies, Rovio came up with the Angry Birds Movie.
The show is an origins story, mainly on how Red (the main character in Angry Birds) started off angry and how he became friends with Bomb and Chuck. The storyline is nothing new, about Pigs stealing eggs to make omelettes, Mighty Eagle as the only bird that fly with wings and why it is to be angry.
This is the type oaf show to watch, laugh and forget. It will not be the type to re-watch like Star Wars and with a sequel. It is to introduce Angry Birds to audiences that were not born when the game started its popularity.
What's good:
- Easy to understand
- Fast paced
- The birds are so cute, angry or not
What's not good:
- Too similar to the game and cartoons
- Gets boring after awhile
- More suitable for straight to video or as a TV movie
Overall Rating: 2.5 / 5 (Not worth the weekend movie rate. Catch at GV cinema for the kids free with adult deal - link below)
