Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Console best movie i've ever seen.
ronjonae The central message of family over tech is good and all, but if you look at the way its brought together, it makes you question the movie's moral code.Look at the events. first, the movie seems simple, a family trip to visit the mother's relatives, however as the movie goes on it becomes clear that the mother never really intended for this to just be a trip. She clearly wants to stay and raise her children inside her colony and though this isn't an outright bad idea, the sneaky way she goes about it makes be really question her character. As I watched I even started going back to the first movie and realized that given the sequence of events, she could be rethinking her entire marriage.Not only that but throughout the movie Blue himself really is picked on for a lot of things that simply weren't his fault and is subsequently treated as if they were done deliberately. From the berries to the sports game and seeking approval from Jewel's father. Jewel should know what kind of husband she has and while I fully accept trying to help someone better themselves, It very much seems like she is literally trying to make him into something that is much more like her old boyfriend. Which affects Blue's self-esteem.Then there are the poachers who could have been left out to tell the truth. Nigel was already here and the poachers seem very after though. I mean when Blue encounters the poachers and just up and decides that he doesn't need humans anymore than I really don't understand anything. Was his blatant love for his owner and society really so fickle that meeting this one group of bad people could change that. Made even more stupid by the fact that he almost immediately does an 180 and goes back to loving humans again, making the first freak out even more confusing.There are a lot of horrible plot holes and clichés I can also complain about, but I'll just finish with simply stating that the original was great and didn't need a sequel, especially not thi one.
Python Hyena Rio 2 (2014): Dir: Carlos Saldanha / Voices: Jessie Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jemaine Clement, Kristin Chenoweth, Bruno Mars: As with the wretched Crocodile Dundee 2, this animated sequel reverses the events of the first film. This time it is discovered that Blu and Jewel are not the only blue macaws in the world as more have been discovered in the Amazon. Blu and Jewel live in a bird sanctuary under protection but Jewel desires to return to her roots. Blu is reluctant but at the urge of his three ambitious hatchlings and other feathered friends he relents. Once there Jewel is reunited with her family and this is where familiar formula elements rain in. Her uptight father will, of course, not accept Blu, leaving him to have to prove himself. And let us not forget that male suitor who is so much better than Blu at pretty much everything. They are also being pursued by cockatoo Nigel out for revenge on Blu after the events of the first film. He is joined by an affectionate poison dart frog named Gabi and an anteater with a tongue for many talents. Despite dim plotting and formula story telling the climax works with the Amazon clashing with human greed. Jessie Eisenberg voices Blu who is adjusting to non-city life. Anne Hathaway voices Jewel who seeks home. Jemaine Clement and Kristin Chenoweth provide much hilarity voicing Nigel and Gabi. Bruno Mars voices the potential suitor to Jewel whom is slicker than Blu and seems to be better at everything. Unfortunately the gorgeous Amazon presented cannot make up for a drab screenplay that ultimately goes to the birds. Score: 5 ½ / 10
rajatdahiyax Rio 2 is a 2014 American 3D computer-animated musical adventure- comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and directed by Carlos Saldanha. It is the sequel to the 2011 computer-animated film Rio and the studio's first film to have a sequel outside of their existing Ice Age franchise. The title refers to the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, where the first film was set and Rio 2 begins, though most of its plot occurs in the Amazon rainforest.Blue macaws Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and their three children are comfortably settled in the city -- perhaps too comfortably. Jewel fears that the children are becoming more like humans than birds. After learning that she and Blu may not be the last blue macaws after all, Jewel decides that their little family should visit the Amazon jungle. It's there that Blu meets his formidable father-in-law (Andy Garcia) and goes beak-to-beak with archnemesis Nigel (Jemaine Clement).
jhilton0907 This was my favorite out of the Rio franchise. I loved the first one, but loved this one even more. OK, first off, here are my thoughts on this delightful movie. It's just as good as the first one, so if you're a fan of Rio, then Rio 2 is perfect for you. From the very beginning of the movie, you can tell this is a Rio movie, and I enjoyed every minute of it.Another great thing about this movie is that it added a little light to Jewel's past. We all know that Jewel was separated from her parent in the first movie, but this, actually explained how it happened. Jewel is among my favorite characters, and I loved how it shedded some light on her past. If you're hoping for Blu's past to be revealed, then you're be disappointed, nothing was ever said about his past, just Jewel's. This movie is more focused on her being reunited with her family and Blu struggling to fit in.Another thing I loved about this is the music... The songs they sang are very good. Once I saw this, I got the soundtrack and couldn't stop listening to it, it was that good. The score to the movie is also good. It is another excellent soundtrack composed by John Powell, the original composer of Rio. If you're familiar with his work, then you will know his excellent score to Rio.Another thing you need to know, everyone is back from the first Rio. Jamie Foxx, Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, and many of the original cast returned for this and that makes this even more enjoyable. The new cast members are also enjoyable, including the excellent Andy Garcia. He is perfect for the role of Eduardo, but let's not forget the lovable Bruno Mars as Roberto. I was not familiar with him until I saw this and I now enjoy his music. For this being his first movie, Bruno Mars did an outstanding job as Roberto. He brought that character to life and added to the drama that was in the movie, with Blu thinking Roberto was going to steal Jewel away.The storyline was good, but like I said before, not much was said about Blu's past. We know how Jewel was separated from her family, but what I don't understand is why nothing was said about Blu's past. He had to have family like Jewel. Where are his parents? This may be a hint that Saldanha is going to focus Rio 3 on Blu and I hope he does. The loving moments between Blu and Jewel made me smile, and it's cute to see some love in movies like this. My favorite part was when Jewel laid her head on Blu and fell asleep in his wings, that was an great way to show Jewel's love for Blu.Saldanha, if you're reading this, you should be proud of this movie. You made another great movie and continue the great work. I hope you make Rio 3 and hope you continue the greatness like you did with this. This was by far your best work. So, if you are a love of animated movies, I suggest watching Rio 2. It's a lovable movie and one of the best sequels of 2014. This may not be an all time animated classic, but it is one of the best movies yet. If you move past the flaws in this, then you can enjoy this movie. Every movie will has flaws here and there, but the thing that makes a difference is to accept them and enjoy the movie. The only problems I did see in this movie is the leaving Blu's past unanswered. Like I said, this may be Saldanha's hint that Rio 3 might focus on Blu and his past, but it's all up to him.In the end, I give this movie 10 stars out of 10, I really enjoyed this movie and saw this three times in theaters. The 3D is worth the trip and if you enjoy 3D, then see this in 3D.
