One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Visually ugly, irritating to listen to, slow moving and, when the insipid plot does arrive, even more annoying still.

Visually ugly, irritating to listen to, slow moving and, when the insipid plot does arrive, even more annoying still. I really do not understand how anyone could like this. A "metaphor about the risks of illegal immigration"!? Seriously!? My 11 year old liked some of the jokes (paintings of the pigs by Red, Eagle peeing in lake). I delayed writing this review (my first ever) to see if things picked up or improved at all. They did not. I am dumbfounded by the positive user reviews and think I need to segue to some other site with more like-minded viewers. ("I could see all the birds that I knew from the all the games and cartoons aired; it made me smile a lot that my jaw was sour later.") -- wow.… Expand

I've never played the game on which this movie is based, so I can't speak to the accuracy of the characters or the story. I have see a few animated movies and this is NOT one of the best.

I have see a few animated movies and this is NOT one of the best. It takes place on an island full of flightless birds that's invaded by pigs who want to steal their eggs. The frantic pace keeps every minute full of spunky energy and the voice actors are all having fun. Usually, this kind of movie is peppered with grown-up in-jokes, but this one lacks many of those…it lacks many jokes at all. I was hoping for some campy comedy, but found little evidence. While it's colorful and lively, the whole thing is just like those birds…flightless.… Expand

You know, it honestly blows my mind that this is one of the highest-rating video game-based films on Rotten Tomatoes. I have to wonder if that speaks to the quality of video game-based films in general (I've only seen a select fews), becauseYou know, it honestly blows my mind that this is one of the highest-rating video game-based films on Rotten Tomatoes. I have to wonder if that speaks to the quality of video game-based films in general (I've only seen a select fews), because if THIS is really one of the BEST out of them, I'm terrified to watch any of the others! "The Angry Birds Movie" is lucky that it at least looks pretty, because there is almost nothing else going for it! There's not ONE character in the movie worth rooting for (I can't even remember their names)! There's not one joke in the movie that doesn't feel like it's going on for way too long (specifically the bird peeing)! Why is the damn movie so mean-spirited, even for something called "Angry Birds?" What the hell kind of lesson does this teach kids? That anger is all you need to succeed? Come on! And speaking of which, for a movie geared at kids, why are so many of the jokes in here so un-kid-friendly? This isn't even a movie I can recommend for families, because the jokes aren't even family-friendly! This is a movie I recommend if you're really hating yourself and you want to test your patience for an hour and a half. This is a movie where I don't sympathize with the characters, but I sympathize with anyone who had to sit through it. Yet another giant pile of dreck from the kings and queens of dreck, Sony Pictures Animation.… Expand

The Angry Birds Movie is a waste of time. It is such an unnecessary film in general, and has one of the stupidest plots of an animated movie ever. Don't waste more than a cent on this film.

This film is just awful. Flat characters, cliched story, bland unfinished looking pig and background birds, terrible script and pacing, and a predictable plot.

Flat characters, cliched story, bland unfinished looking pig and background birds, terrible script and pacing, and a predictable plot. What did you expect from a movie based on a free to play mobile game about shooting birds at buildings with pigs in it, the only good thing about this movie is the acceptable CGI. I mean its okay but even that is beaten out by Zootopia and Finding Dory. Just go see those instead. This movie has so little reason to exist that it can create a time paradox, avoid at all cost.… Expand

Now to be fair, the animation is colorful, detailed, and has a Looney Toons feel to it. All the voice performances are fine and some of the jokes are funny. It's also faithful to the game it's based on with elements of the game incorporated into the plot. That's about it, because the rest of the film is filled with filler and non- stop jokes that aren't funny at all. The plot is so simplistic that the story could have been done in an 1/2 hour television special. So to fill in the 90 minute run time, the movie has a bunch of filler scenes and don't contribute to the plot. To make sure the children don't get distracted, the film makers make sure there is constant noise, jokes every second, and rocket- ship fast pacing. Because of this, most of the jokes fall flat from having no build up and by going too fast. Although some work, the majority don't. Some "adult" jokes are too inappropriate for the target audience. Because of the pacing, there is no character development. Every character is either a stereotype or simply bland. Because the film never shuts up, there is no emotional moments that makes us care for the characters. It's just color and never- ending action.

As far as the plot goes, like the mobile game, the green pigs come to Bird Island and steel their eggs. The birds then use a slingshot and their individual special abilities to beat the pigs. Again, while the plot is faithful to the game, it's so simple. Imagine the possibilities with this concept, but the filmmakers go at it in the easiest way possible. Noise and color for the kids, and inappropriate jokes for the adults. When the inevitable final showdown occurs between the birds and pigs, it's not exciting. That's because the pigs are non- threatening villains, are stupid, and no one ever gets hurt. Overall, The Angry Birds Movie has great animation, is faithful to the game, and is occasionally funny. But that doesn't make up for bland/ stupid characters, filler scenes, constant noise, and mainly unfunny jokes. Only young kids will get enjoyment from this.… Expand

The entire concept of birds sacrificing themselves to knock pigs off construction sets is easily an idea I could have come up with last Friday night at 2:30am after a strong overdose. But who cares, right? That’s what makes Angry Birds soThe entire concept of birds sacrificing themselves to knock pigs off construction sets is easily an idea I could have come up with last Friday night at 2:30am after a strong overdose. But who cares, right? That’s what makes Angry Birds so oddly engaging to play! So of course, this is the perfect material to make a motion picture out of! And you know what, The Angry Birds Movie is the most beautiful, most thoughtful experience I’ve ever sat through in a cinema, met with some wonderful characters, hilarious gags, and a message that is suitable for all ages.

Ha! Had you there, didn’t I? Gosh, I almost had to force myself to type that. Right from this film’s announcement, I was expecting this movie to be just a series of super unfunny gags only toddlers would find funny, along with a real overused message to make this feel like somewhat of a complete movie. And sure enough, the result met all my expectations to the tee. I mean, come on. I have always enjoyed the iPhone game, but how could a 97-minute story of these birds possibly be decent?

Well, just like this:

Step 1. You make the main character an underdog with an anger issue who is disrespected by the town.
Step 2. You set up his team through an anger management class.
Step 3. You introduce the green pigs as the main villains a quarter of the way through the movie.
Step 4. You make the main character the only one in the town who knows how to stop these bad pigs.
Step 5. You let these bad pigs steal the eggs of the birds in the town in order to eat them.
Step 6. You make the town's savior an absolute moron who the main character loses hope in.
Step 7. You save the actual game-playing part until the final moments, and only for five minutes tops.
Step 8. You throw in puns. Lots and lots of puns.

I’ve gone crazy now after hearing, “Happy hatch-day, Pluck my life, Insta-ham, and Kevin Bacon in Hamlet.” But you know what? Toucan play at this. If this movie can go mad with bird and pig puns, so can I!

The movie’s egg-selent screenwriter Jon Vitti got his start writing adult comedies such as SNL and The Simpsons, and maybe he should have left his nest there. While he does sprinkle in some jokes that will fly over the kids’ heads, a majority of the humor here is winging it toward the 12 and younger crowd. But maybe that’s not the problem. Maybe the problem is that he wrote out each character rather faithfully to their virtual counterparts, yet entirely unmotivated and all-around fowl. Every bird and pig in this movie is either:

A. Useless
B. Rude
C. Dumb
D. All the above Owl go with option D.

You know that white egg-shaped bird named Matilda? She’s the teacher of the anger management class now, and is all sweet and calm, despite being an “angry” bird. Then that yellow triangle-shaped bird named Chuck is voiced by Josh Gad, and he is literally Olaf on crack. His best friend is that black bomb bird, and together they are so annoying that you ought to flip the bird at each of them. The enormous bird, named Terence, is the closest thing to funny this movie gets to, and he just flew right by without enough screen time. Then there’s the little blue bird that splits into three, who doesn’t even show up until the end-credits scene. Oh, and I guess there’s Red. Yeah, no comment.

The world of these birds is also rather cheep. Basically it is all recreated from the designs in the game as well as the Toon series. I’m sure it is a beautiful and creative world on screen, but I couldn’t exactly tell, as everything in the frame was moving too fast for me to get a good look at the details. But essentially, the most genius thing they come up with is a pregnant bird carrying her egg strapped onto her stomach like a pregnant human. Yeah, seriously—what the duck?!

The jokes probably would have quacked me up if the animators actually took a breather in between each pratfall and each piece of rapid-fire dialogue. Also, if some jokes were removed entirely, that would help enormously. By jokes, I mean nipple gags, a bird beating up a statue, a malfunctioning stairway, and an eagle peeing into a pond for a full minute (yes, this movie actually resorts to that hawkward level of humor).

Okay fine, maybe there are a few redeeming messages. It does try to affirm that anger is good motivation to fighting for the right causes, but it’s entirely forgotten by the last few moments and is even deliberately mocked by the characters themselves. So yeah, no important values to be found here!

I’m talon you, if a movie about the Angry Birds really needed to exist, then it should have be done by artists who actually gave a hoot to the kids and the parents who had the birden of allowing the ticket prices to go on their bill. But even judging by an Angry Birds fan, this movie is not boosting the popularity of the franchise in any way. If anything, it’s just going to hurt the franchise. So stick with the game, there’s no peeing eagles.… Expand

Angry Birds used to be on the app store, They really need to put it back on the app store, and stop making us try to play angry birds 2. Our children will not be able to enjoy what i have enjoyed as a kid.

Angry Birds brings yuck and disgust to an already dumb male-led adaptation of an app that provides us with pretty much nothing to gain.
