A very, very, very cliché, but ultimately harmless and decent kids movie.
Alternatively......
This is what Norm of the North SHOULD have done.
Alternatively......
Go watch it because it's not The Emoji Movie.
RATING: 6/10
Was gonna do a full review of the movie, but currently caught up doing a lot of other shiz right now, so had to cut it down to one sentence. It's not better or worse than The Nut Job to be honest. If you hate The Nut Job, you obviously won't like this one. If you liked/tolerated the first movie, you'll like/tolerate this movie. The biggest problem with the first movie was that almost nobody was likable, except for Buddy. In this movie, thankfully, most of the characters aren't so mean-spirited.
Sadly, this came at the cost of the plot, because the plot is this movie is nothing special. There are no cheap tricks, or twists, or turns, or anything. It's straightforward. It's cliché. It's nothing new. It's been done before. You have to understand though..........2017 has been a shit year for animated films. We have The LEGO Batman Movie, which came out in February, and Captain Underpants, which was vastly overlooked.
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
Honestly, considering how much movie tickets cost, you can probably skip this and wait until the DVD comes out, or at least see this movie early in the morning where it's only six or seven dollars. This movie is about as enjoyable as The Secret Life of Pets, right down to this movie having an over-the-top badass adorable little fluffy white-furred critter. Make what you will of that.
Did I need to see this movie in theaters? No. But this is literally my last weekend before college starts, and nothing I wanna see is out now, except Atomic Blonde, which I saw already. And, again, this has been a shitty year for animated movies. I'm grasping for straws at this point.
And y'know, sometimes I go to movies knowing they probably won't be all that good. But if I come out the theater saying "Y'know, that movie wasn't great, but it was fun," then that's really all that matters.
Atomic Blonde is a poorly-written spy flick. But it was very stylish and fun.
The Nut Job 2 is a bland, cliché animated film about saving the environment. But the animation is slick for its budget and the absurd amount of carnage that ensued in the film was fun.
Sometimes, all I want is fun.
But fun does not equal good.
