It’s hard to have huge expectations for a movie
called “The Angry Birds Movie 2.” After all, it’s
not even a movie based on a smartphone
game. It’s a SEQUEL to a movie based on a
smartphone game.
But now that we’ve established that nobody’s
expecting Ingmar Bergman here, let’s offer
up some praise for this sequel-to-a-movie-
based-on-a-smartphone-game, for finding a
way to actually improve on the 2016 original
in a way that’s clever but not snarky, sweet
but not syrupy.
