The entire cast of the animated hit comedy Rio returnsโalong with a new flock of all-star voice talent, including Bruno Mars, Kristen Chenoweth and moreโin this high-flying sequel for the whole family. The party continues when Jewel (Anne Hathaway), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and their three kids take a walk on the wild side and embark on a colorful, comical, music-filled journey through the Amazon!
The story has improved greatly, and so have the characters. But still, I cant stand Jesse Eisenberg. They should have just found a different actor, because he doesn't work in the movie. However, George Lopez and Anne Hathaway, along with the Amazon storyline and the crazy white bird out for revenge with a taste for Shakespeare were the movies saving graces. The frog was very weird though. So not great, but an improvement from the first.
Rio 2 is a very cute movie. It has a lot of funny moments and the whole "protective dad is protective" thing, which I appreciate more than most people. This movie is definitely for kids though. It doesn't have as much depth or care like the first one did. And the final act was a little dumb, considering how some characters were thrown in. But It was very entertaining and funny to watch though. 4/5
The first one was more interesting than this one, the movie is titled "Rio 2" when 80% of the movie takes place on the Amazon. Still, a decent movie. The movie is getting more boring when you watch it 10 times. ๐๐๐ for animation, the blank stars are for the story. I don't know if purchasing the Deluxe Edition Blu-ray was worth it, but at least I have something.
