For someone who have watched Rio,there is no thing special new. On short,this is adventure film that should be for family.There is nice jokes and good sense for humor,but the story is somehow slow and boring. The characters are not new and they are 2D characterized. The only real emphaty I feel is to main character.Fact is that good animation and music don't make film good.Colors and dance makes visual expression good,but not a whole film. Because of slowness of film,it is boring for young kids. But everything is made for kids and you will probably not watch it alone. In short,film is comedy with some message and that is all.
... View MoreRio 2 is the perfect sequel. it does a fantastic job taking off from where the previous film ends and literally soars to great heights introducing new ideas and with an interesting plot. it's so romantic that Blu and Jewel are a married couple with children. i only thought they were boyfriend/girlfriend. The film also has a great environmental message: SAVE THE RAINFOREST!!!!! It's powerfully moving, an awesome computer animation, brightly colored, has a lot of twists and turns, and a truly happy ending. I also like how the red and blue macaws team up and defeat the illegal loggers. Also, when Big Boss is eaten by a boa constrictor is quite an unexpected twist. I wonder what they are gonna come up with next, Rio 3 in Space? Whatever Carlos decides, I hope he does include a third film in the trilogy.

We literally vomited for 10 minutes after getting out and then we bought some crepes but vomited again - that's how terrible it was. SO MUCH SINGING, and talking and talking and singing, COME ON! Not entertaining at all, and then adults wonder why 8 year-olds go on watching R-rated movies - it's because those do not insult the viewer's intelligence and ability to follow at least a half-developed plot. Just because the target audience is young, the film does not need to assume that those watching will be brain-dead babies amused by just colors, clichéd songs and characters from the first movie.
... View MoreThis animation tells the story of the blue macaws flying into the amazon to find other blue macaws.I was thoroughly bored and irritated by the first Rio, so "Rio 2" is a nice surprise. This film is colorful and fun. The plot is about love and family, and you cannot go wrong with these fundamental ideas. The birds sometimes burst into spontaneous singing and dancing, but it's not as annoying as I usually find it to be. In fact, the use of "I Will Survive" is really fun, and starkly contrasts the character that sings it. That's a joke for adult viewers, children won't get it. The ending is fun as well. I enjoyed watching "Rio 2".
