The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

Storyline

In the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we'll finally find out why the birds are so angry. The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds - or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We're the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it's up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to. Featuring a hilarious, all-star voice cast that includes Bill Hader (Trainwreck, Inside Out), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids, Sisters), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), as well as Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development), Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Sisters).

Review

So I am going to be straight up honest. I have always loved animation films because they have always made me feel like a kid again. I won't lie, even Winnie the Pooh is also entertaining for me (The original ones). But let me tell you, if you are over around nine years old, just drop off whoever is younger than nine at the theater and do something else then come back and ask the kid about the film. The kid will explain it exactly the way the film is.

First the good. I liked that it has a few cool voice actor's. The voices for the film is very well casted. There are also very few funny moments in the film. I also loved how they also stayed true to the app game and yet still at least tried to create a story out of it. I also liked the King Piggie since he was at least trying to be a comedic villain.

Now for the bad. It is a childish film. A REALLY childish film. I felt so embarrassed to be in that theater. I was hoping in my mind I could be at least eight years old so I could feel confident to watch it but I had to hide myself from the others the whole time. I mean, kid's would probably get a few jokes in this but as an adult I am pretty sure you will have to ask your kid or younger brother or sister to explain it.

Now for my own personal opinion. Like I said, rather take your kid who is younger than nine to see the film and let him/her tell the film to you instead. You could save a lot of money. When it comes out on DVD, rent it on the day you feel you have watched literally every good movie you could think of. I will admit it was better than Alvin and the Chipmunks 4 The Road Chip.

Another angry bird is Chuck, who moves fast and talks fast. Bomb, another main character, frequently blows up due to his disorder IED, Intermittent Explosions Disorder. Bomb lives in a bomb shelter.

The birds are visited by pigs, who are dumb but funny. The birds and pigs befriend each other and have a party, but Red does not trust the pigs at all.
