This movie was extremely poorly put together. The movie feels like two half thought films poorly edited into one single steaming mess. The film does not carry well, have a coherent story, and there is so much stupid there is no normality for contrast.

It's not all bad, there were some scenes that I found laugh out loud hilarious, but they were largely drowned out by the constant stupidity. When every single character in the movie acts retarded it gets old fast and takes away from the characters that actually can pull it off well.

Over all this feels like one of Ferrell's weird off brand projects that should have gone straight to DVD. Like a brain dead creation that should only grace the midnight slot of adult swim's drug induced comedic junk.… Expand

But not nearly as many as the original film. The bits run on too long (including a fight scene near the end that should've been about 10% as long as it was), the characters' motivations are sometimes a mystery, and the plot is convoluted and shallow. I think McKay, et al, had far too many years to think about this movie---and so they tried to cram into it everything they could. The result is a sometimes funny, usually unfunny, bloated mess. I suspect it'll grow more charm upon a second or third viewing, but even then it won't come close to matching the original's genius.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What is there to expect from a Will Ferrell sequel? Anchorman 2 is his first sequel, and not only that, but it happens to be the sequel to his largest film, both critically large, and also culturally. The original Anchorman was a bit of a revolution in comedic cinema. It was ballsy, wild, and unpredictable. More importantly... it was fresh. A new breath to comedy, a fresh unheard voice. This success is in fact the ultimate downfall of the sequel Anchorman 2: the Legend Continues. While it was not a terrible film, that did offer up a few laughs, this film felt like a throwback, a film whose only intent was to reference the original film. Many of the jokes were carbon copy gags. The entire arc of the film followed that of the original, including the ultimate climax of the news cast street battle found in both films. It seemed to me, that the creative team (Adam McKay and Will Ferrell) excpected the audience to want to watch the original film. Rehashing gags, and barely making them new. Is this what we the audience wanted? If this is what we wanted to watch, why not just watch the original? When news dropped that a new Anchorman was in development, the question of "is this needed" was asked by many. I personally defended the choice, believing comedic cinema could use another jolt, another wake up call, a call that I thought only Will Ferrell and his team could offer up. What I saw when I watched Anchorman 2, was not that, but instead the original Anchorman in sheeps clothes. The character of Brian Fantana, played honestly and charmingly by Paul Rudd, is iconically remembered from the original Anchorman for his collection of cologne and men's perfumes, the punch line being found in "the Sex Panther cologne." The sequel tries to rekindle this magic, by displaying Fantana's collection of condoms, most of which offer nothing in the department of protection. The same hidden storage compartment, the same outlandich names, just not quite as funny as the original. Ron Burgandy, played obviously by Ferrell himself, is said to be the best anchorman in the buisness, who reads exactly what the teleprompter tells him, no if's, and's, or but's. In the original Anchorman, this lead to the classic line of "And I'm Ron Burgundy. Go yourself San Diego." In the sequel, we find Burgundy losing his job, because he reads exactly what is on the teleprompter. Same gag, different movie... but barely. The new film does offer a few new laughs however. The romantic subplot between Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) and Chani (Kristen Wiig) was where the film found its stride. The explosion of Carell's career with the hit show the Office as well as other fantastic projects, lead everyone to know his character Brick would have more screen time, more jokes, and more significance in the film. The chemistry between him and Wiig (a brilliant comedian in her own right) was fresh and quircky. The improv nature that they brught to the set left the audience reeling, never knowing what to excpect next, and there was no way to guess, for each moment between the two was as absurd and brilliant as the one previous, surmounting in a date to a laundrymat, getting to know each other over soda out of the maching, and a torrid, awkward make out session revealing Wiig's whity tighty under wear. The other brilliant subplot this film offered was that of Burgundy losing his vision, leading to a hysterical recouping sub plot where he tries to learn how to exist in the world without vision. But, this also felt recycled, finding similar tones to Ferrell and McKays Talledega Nights. As funny as these moments were they were not fresh enough to save the film. The secret to comedy is in fact timing. never let the audience get a head of you. If they have the punch line figured out before it's said, if they have the gag calculated before it is done, the joke is dead and the laugh is lost. All the punchlines were in Anchorman 2 were predictable, because we have seen them played out in the original film. As Anchorman 2's credits rolled, and I threw away my popcorn, walking to my car I had a leathery taste in my mouth, like I had just spent the last two hours chewing on a well used boot.… Expand

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)
Directed by Adam McKay; Starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Christina Applegate
Rating: 3/5 Perhaps it was inevitable that the long anticipated sequel to the cult film that, along with similarAnchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)
Directed by Adam McKay; Starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Christina Applegate

Rating: 3/5

Perhaps it was inevitable that the long anticipated sequel to the cult film that, along with similar contemporary classics such as Meet the Parents (2000), Zoolander (2001) and Dodgeball (2004) all but defined early 2000s comedy, cementing the already burgeoning careers of its stars and making household names out of Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, et al, would have very high expectations, and be met with a certain amount of disappointment.

This doesn’t have to be the case with all comedy sequels, and indeed some of the most beloved and re-watched films in my collection over the years have been back to back comedies, such as the Ace Ventura (1994, 1995) or Bill & Ted (1989, 1991) films, both of which feature sequels easily as good as the originals.

Trilogies, such as Austin Powers (1997, 1999, 2002) or The Naked Gun (1988, 1991, 1994) have their ups and downs but maintain a certain level of quality throughout. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters II (1989), Men in Black II (2002) and Wayne’s World 2 (1993) are perhaps not as strong as their predecessors, but retained their talent and remain integral parts of the narrative that are by no means cast aside by posterity.

Hype easily breeds disappointment, and I’m unlikely to be overexcited or giddy with anticipation when this kind of release occurs, so I’m rarely underwhelmed or otherwise. A lacklustre sequel is not a personal affront on my loyalty to the original, and Anchorman 2 is a competent enough film, a well produced, big budget Hollywood comedy vehicle for its stars.

Yet as a sequel, bearing the uninspired and unnecessary subtitle The Legend Continues no less, Anchorman 2 is more like the relatively reprehensible Airplane II: The Sequel (1982) which paled in comparison to the golden original which is still enjoyed today. Both sequels carbon copy classic sequences from the original almost shot for shot, attempting to conceal their originality behind purported homage and call-backs.

Though the cast was reunited, at least Airplane II had the excuse that none of the original creative talent returned. Anchorman 2 was written by leading man Will Ferrell and returning director Adam McKay, so they’re only letting themselves down.

They’ve clearly tried to go bigger, under the assumption that it will mean better, making for a film that is even more surreal and absurd than the original. Even more so than the first film, Anchorman 2 is only feebly anchored in the real world, and the story shoots for a laugh so often that the whole picture becomes more of a hit and miss sketch show than a coherent narrative. Of course, this merely reflects the Saturday Night Live format under which most of the talent involved cut their teeth. This doesn’t mean it’s not funny or entertaining; far from it. The hits, after all, are still hits. At least they still have a ton of fun exploiting the ludicrous period fashion and hairstyles.

Ron Burgundy himself was always an endearing buffoon, but this time around he is utterly incompetent at everything he does, including being a father. This is offset only by his relatively inspired invention of sensationalist news to win a ratings war and apparently, ice skating (an allusion to 2007’s Blades of Glory?).

The rest of the returning cast continue to tread the same path as before, but as caricatures of themselves which appear even more conceited and despicable than usual, although sex-crazed Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) seems to have mellowed, remaining evermore the only sane man.

Ron wins it all and loses it all about three of four times over the course of the movie, but the driving force is a critique of the aforementioned 24 hour rolling news which typifies the excesses of the American media, eschewing true journalism in favour of car chases and patriotism.

The film is strongest during this satire, and weakest during the more derivative subplots which bulk to length to a rather overlong two hours. The final act comes out of nowhere just as the film is starting to drag, and then generates an entire separate arc, and the climax is yet another news team battle even longer than the first, with celebrity cameos coming thick and fast. So while Anchorman 2 still delivers a few solid laughs over the course of a couple of hours, my advice to anyone who finds it utterly unpalatable is to just try and remember that the original still exists.… Expand

It had a whole different plot, so new things did happen, but the characters were very predicable for anyone who's seen the first one. Nothing surprised us. Brick was funny, but not hysterical like last time in the first movie because we already knew the sort of funny lines to expect from him. It was entertaining, but I would have been okay with just watching it on Netflix rather than in the theatre. If you liked the first one, it's worth seeing, but IMO it wasn't really amazing enough to rush to the theatre as soon as it came out.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uncomfortable, political, lazy...and possibly brilliant?

(disclaimer: I write my reviews for people like me who like to watch the movie first and analyze it afterwards vs the traditional attempt at advising those who are considering watching the movie.)

I've never been so conflicted with my feelings about a movie. Anchorman 2 tried to be completely different from its predecessor in so many ways, but in other areas tried too hard to be the same as the first groundbreaking movie, one that many believe holds the crown amongst all of the great comedy movies. I get the impression that Judd Apatow understood that any attempt to be "funnier" would be met with ultimate failure, and therefore decided to try and find a way to make Ron Burgundy's second attempt at iconic status a different destination...somewhere profoundly relevant and political.

At least this is what I want to believe. If I'm wrong, my only other conclusion would be that Apatow and company failed miserably at making even a shadow of a comedy in comparison to the "Legend of Ron Burgundy. If the former is true, I would suggest this movie is near genius...a whole-hearted recommendation for the thinking-person's type of movie. If the latter, I'm disappointed to see such an excellent brand be handled so carelessly.

Most would agree, Mr. Apotow is one of the best comedy movie writers and producers ever. So it's hard to accept the blatant rip-offs from other movies such as Austin Powers and Canadian Bacon while filling comedic space with rehashed gimmicks and scenes from the first movie, such as a long and over-the-top gang fight comprised of competing news teams to Baxter saving Ron yet again from a deadly situation. Such blatant examples of lazy comedy writing is cut and pasted throughout the entire script.

It's almost unbelievable, as you consider almost every actor that appears in this movie could sneeze out more original and better executed comedy without even trying. So unbelievable in fact that I had to ask myself, "was this by design?"

I say this because if you ignore the comedy and look closer at the narrative structure, Anchorman 2 is a whole different movie that tries to educate or even rally its viewer by directly taking on one of human kinds most protected and deceitful enemies; News network's evil twin, the one that shares the same name but made a deal with the devil by sacrificing its integrity for ratings. And they made no attempt at subtle suggestions or sporadic pokes, no, they jammed it down your throat to such a degree that any FOX diehard would feel beaten to a pulp by the time the credits rolled. And speaking of the credits, the audience favorited outtakes that many remained in their seats anticipating were absent. Again, why?

This movie ventured into so much different territory than its predecessor. And that was at its attempts at seriousness, with serious characters, tackling sensitive subject matters. They played with fire leaving the finger over the flame longer than most ever would mimicking african american slang, making light of a terrible disability such as blindness and managing to position Mr. Burgundy himself as the enemy mocking American pride and taking advantage of the more gullible amongst us.

By the way, I do realize that the first Anchorman approached the sensitive subject of women's rights while making a mockery of the 70s stereotype sexist male. But it did so in a way that never felt uncomfortable as even the target of that sexism, Ms. Corningstone (masterfully played by Christina Applegate) had her own laughable and absurd imperfections falling too easily for a character that would be despised in real life. And there were never any villains. Never one character with a serious tone, even the rivaling news anchors had such a ridiculously lovable quality to them.

This time, cameos including more serious actors such as Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson, and controversial celebrities such as Drake and Kanye West felt so out of place...something Judd must have known...I once again dare myself to consider this movie was trying to send a deep message to its viewers and not try to compete for the comedy throne where its predecessor resides.

"You deserve better America" was the line in this movie that stood out the most for me. And the race that followed as Ron tried to get to his son's recital facing obstacles of pure nonsense along the way. The statement he made that his wife and son were more important than the job of manipulating his viewership, the unbelievably talented son who played beautiful classical piano while watching absurd visuals of Brick blasting a weapon from the future. It's as if this movie was trying to say "go home and spend time with your family rather than watching stupid movies and TV".

Reading WAY too much into it you say? Possibly...even probably. But just what if? Maybe The legend truly continues and Anchorman 2 has its own throne as the anti-movie hero.… Expand

The best example of this is the news team death match. It's at least twice as weird, and probably 10 times more far fetched than in the first movie, but it's not even 1/4 as funny.

Aquí esta uno de los grandes aciertos de la película, la historia es diferente y utiliza hechos ciertos aunque exagerados para mostrar cómo se revolucionó la forma de dar noticias a través de los años, y mostrar que buenos y malos efectos contrajo ésto.
Otro punto fuerte es Steve Carell como detonante de las bromas, tuvo dos escenas que me parecieron hilarantes y en general él junto con Paul Rudd absorben mucha de la atención del grupo para generar risas. Haciendo que Ron tenga una evolución más creíble.
En general es buena, tiene muchas bromas que se disfrutan más si viste "The Legend of Ron Bungurdy", así que si tienes tiempo, y viste la primera, creo que disfrutarás un buen momento con "The Legend Continues".… Expand

oh black..

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

They are back with a bang but this time with some better character inputs and brilliant semi-plots that sticks together till the end on this new ridiculously funny chapter.

This movie is such a disappointment after how epic the first one was. Had some redeeming scenes that make it JUST worth watching. All the Scenes with Brick are terrible sadly.
