Red attends anger management classes and meets other angry birds. Pigs come to island and steal eggs to make an omelet on their island. Only Red can save the day.The film used slapstick humor for the kids and an occasional scene that adults can enjoy such as "The Shining" pig twins. I haven't heard "egg-cellent" since Vincent Price spoke those words on "Batman." The film is light on heavy themes and saved money by avoiding high priced stars for the voices. Red was easy to identify with, but the rest of the birds were a bit shallow in character, but hey, it is just a movie for kids. Hatching eggs uses phrases similar to child birth for humor. Might want to wait for an inexpensive rental.Guide: Bird standing and urinating like a man. Uses phrases like "Pluck my life" and "Flocking birds."

Red is a bird, a flightless bird on an island of flightless birds. He also has a problem - anger. After an incident at a child's party he is sent to anger management classes. There he meets some interesting characters.Was interesting for about five minutes, and then quickly resorted to cheap jokes and mindless action scenes. Plot is random at best and just gets worse and worse the longer it goes on. I think the writers exhausted any original ideas they had by the 20-minute mark.This makes you wonder who the target audience is. Judging by the weakness of the humour and juvenileness of the script, you'd have to say really young kids. But then there are some jokes and scenes aimed squarely at adults. Or maybe the producers just wanted to cash in on the Angry Birds game, figuring that people who enjoyed the game would watch the movie out of curiosity. Doesn't matter whether the movie is any good, as long as people pay good money to see it...Whatever the reason, this is sloppy, half-baked movie making and does animated movies a massive disservice.

It's actually more than one bird. Although if you know the game, you do know the Eagle. But let's leave him out of this for the review (no pun intended). And I have to admit, I was surprised when I watched it. It is pretty coherent, it makes sense, it has a story and it is funny, which is way more than I expected.Am I surprised this is considered for an Oscar? I am a little. But then again I just read a topic by someone comparing the movie to ISIS and Angela Merkel. I almost lost my train of thought, when I just read the subject line. And I was tempted to read the thing, but I reckon I have better things to do with my time. Like write a review about this movie ;o) All kidding aside, this may be predictable, but also a lot of fun. The voice talent at hand is also spot on

I am very sad to say that, but the movie disappointed me musically, graphically and from the story viewpoint. Definitely it didn't meet my expectations, and I think that it was made just for the seek of money. The start was very fading, I was very bored and the voice actor of Red disturbed me. I think that he did not suit to the character at all. Visual shape of birds was very poor. I don't say that I expected the exact copies of original angry birds, but especially the Red and Chuck were very oval to me, too much oval. Despite I loved the choice of Chuck voice actor. After the poor beginning, the movie started to grow up dynamically, yet it lacked humour, or it contained very vast humour. I appreciate the concept of "anger" removal, but wasn't being angry the very base of birds? Didn't all birds should supposed to be angry? Not just chuck, red and black bomb one? Honestly, the eagle thing was living the movie a bit, but some inappropriate parts of movie were ruining the so-so way of a movie. Movie didn't have consistent dynamics, it didn't have a positive gradation to me, the start was very vast, strange, lacking humour, then when it started to make sense, yet there were very strange parts, like the creators had some idea, then it got lost, then it came up again, then it got lost and so on. The end, egg salvation, heroism of red somehow made the reputation of the movie better, but it could be done much wiser than it was. Generally speaking, there were parts I enjoyed very much mixed with very stupid or boring parts, which could be substituted with something more witty or logic, or omitted. It could be better. 5/10
