Reviews

Oliver Thatcher Watson This film greatly surprised me. I was expecting a middle of the road sequel, but what I got was a cute, funny, well written, and well animated film that made the first one great. Granted, there are a few minor flaws in this film, but those were no where near enough to change my opinion. This is truly one of those films that surprised me and, to be honest, is another great example of what Sony Animation Studios does best, and this, as well other good films by them just show that they are capable of making some good stuff. Hopefully, they learned their lesson with the god-awful joke of a film "The Emoji Movie". Anyways, the jokes in this film are mostly funny and carry the same humor from the first film. The story, while it is somewhat predictable, is well paced, well written, and flowed almost seamlessly from the first film. The animation in this film is done very well and looks very detailed and polished. Overall, I was very impressed with this film and I think it's a really good, if not perfect sequel to the first film. I recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of the first film and hasn't seen this yet, as it's surprisingly great. However, it is very recommended to watch the first film first, as this film takes place immediately after the first one ends.

Tweekums Minutes after the end of the first film the inventor Chester V, who is Flint's childhood hero and CEO of the Live Corporation, arrives on the island of Swallow Falls and announces that the population is being evacuated for the duration of the clean-up operation. He also offers Flint a job at Live. Flint doesn't realise that his food making machine survived and Chester's actions are just so he can get his hands on it. It turns out the machine isn't just making food it is now making living food and the people Chester sent to retrieve the machine have all met a sticky end. Chester comes up with a new plan; he tells Flint about the food creatures and says they are a threat to the mainland and asks Flint to return to Swallow Falls to find and deactivate the machine. He is meant to go alone but ends up going with all his friends. Once there they discover vast numbers of food creatures but his girlfriend Sam isn't sure they are as dangerous as Chester claimed.While I don't think this is quite as good as the original it is still a lot of fun and certainly very creative. The story is a little bit predictable; the fact that Chester has ulterior motives is made clear from the start so there is no real surprise when Flint and his friends discover the truth of course I'm judging this as an adult viewer; knowing the truth might make it more enjoyable for younger viewers. The various food creatures are very imaginative and a lot of fun; they are also a bit frightening at times but never for long enough to be really scary. The story is fun and it was great to see the characters from the original film back in a new adventure. As well as a decent story there are quite a few laughs to be had along the way; one or two of the gags are a little bit crude but nothing too bad and these will probably not be spotted by younger viewers anyway. As before the animation looks great and the voice cast does a solid job. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to any fans of the first film or of modern animation in general.

hannahray123 The first movie was funny, heartfelt, and original. This was, as I like to say, a tired shell of its popular counterpart. I say "tired" because the gags are LAZY. Throughout the movie, stupid jokes related to food are made. "Haha! I cut the cheese! Aren't I a great comedian suckers?"The plot was quite confusing, too: "so let me get this straight. Flint's food machine had malfunctioned to the point where it creates evil food that acts like animals, but now apparently the animals are friendly, and the annoying stereotypical evil scientist had made that a plan all along in order to create live food so that he could make it into health-food bars? Why did he make the food monsters, as apposed to regular food that he could use? I'm confused, and I'm sorry if I got anything wrong; I had tuned out a bit during this movie due to its lame jokes."

Neddy Merrill "Cloud 2" walks right into the standard reasons the sequel always comes across about 2/3rds as good as the original. Cody Cameron overloads the film with the elements that made the original, well, original. Every conceivable color is used, the visuals are wild and imaginative and a lot of dopey food puns are tossed around ("there's a leek in the boat"). Unfortunately, throwing in more these elements makes for a more overwhelming and not, necessarily better film. Take the food monsters in the film - while some are mildly entertaining (flamangoes), most are just stupid (a spider/cheeseburger hybrid?). To continue the food metaphor, putting more of the same spice into a dish patrons previously found enjoyable can work against it. The father/son dynamic which gave dramatic drive to the original gets over played here with Tim, the father, now looking for validation from Flint, the son. Credit Terry Crews for bringing and interesting and distinctive void to the proceedings. In short, not a bad film but not quite worth making a special time to see.
