I watched The Raid 2 over a month ago and I remember more about that movie than I do about this one that I watched last night. To be honest, I'm really having a tough time remembering most of this movie even after a day of watching it. I realize that sounds condescending, but it wasn't intended as such. Not because I'm better, or smarter, than them. Some people may have bought into that, but I didn't. It's certainly very colorful and vibrant, but I feel it's almost that way because there was really nothing else the film offered, so they'd hope that you'd be distracted by the colorful visuals and just pretend the film was great. But I digress, if there's any reason this film gets two stars it is because of its songs and its animation. I realize everybody loves Frozen, but the songs in that movie are stereotypically Disney to a fault. I'd pick any of these songs over anything on Frozen every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The songs, though, are actually pretty damn good all things considered, it's just got a very different flavor and style than what you'd normally see in a Disney movie. You can just sense them going through the motions as far as plot, character development, and voice acting. This one, on the other hand, didn't really do much for me.


Personally, while I thought the first Rio was a little kiddy, it was still a pretty fun little movie. The first Rio didn't really set the world on fire to the point that everyone was clamoring for a sequel, but here we are.
