Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Eddie Cantillo Rio 2(2014) Starring:Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Leslie Mann, Jamie Foxx, Andy Garcia, Bruno Mars, Jemaine Clement, Rodrigo Santoro, Jake T. Austin, Amandla Stenberg, Pierce Gagnon, Rita Moreno, Kristin Chenoweth, Tracy Morgan, Will.i.am, and George Lopez Directed By:Carlos Saldanha Review HE'S VILLAINOUS, SHE'S VENOMOUS. You know I actually liked the first Rio movie a lot actually and I didn't even want to see it but my sister made me anyway and I actually thought it was great. When I heard the sequel and saw the trailer a billion times on comcast to rent or own, I knew this would be some generic family animated sequel I wouldn't enjoy and guess what I was right. The Film revolves around Blu, Jewel and their three kids after they're hurtled from Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary of all: his father-in-law. The story isn't that interesting, it's basically a generic animated family feature where the main character doesn't want to leave his home because he's so use to things and when he does leave and gets to the Amazon the father of his wife doesn't like him, and there is a much more attractive character that his wife is spending more time with which makes him jealous. It's been done too death and I don't like it. The movie does not achieve it's goal, thanks to its generic story the movie is bland and boring, even if I do like the performances from the actors it's just not that well interesting for me to care about what's going on in the picture. All the elements of a good film are not present it's just bland, generic,boring, and tiresome. With good performances that help not making a stupid waste time. I give Rio 2 a two out of five.

jhilton0907 This was my favorite out of the Rio franchise. I loved the first one, but loved this one even more. OK, first off, here are my thoughts on this delightful movie. It's just as good as the first one, so if you're a fan of Rio, then Rio 2 is perfect for you. From the very beginning of the movie, you can tell this is a Rio movie, and I enjoyed every minute of it.Another great thing about this movie is that it added a little light to Jewel's past. We all know that Jewel was separated from her parent in the first movie, but this, actually explained how it happened. Jewel is among my favorite characters, and I loved how it shedded some light on her past. If you're hoping for Blu's past to be revealed, then you're be disappointed, nothing was ever said about his past, just Jewel's. This movie is more focused on her being reunited with her family and Blu struggling to fit in.Another thing I loved about this is the music... The songs they sang are very good. Once I saw this, I got the soundtrack and couldn't stop listening to it, it was that good. The score to the movie is also good. It is another excellent soundtrack composed by John Powell, the original composer of Rio. If you're familiar with his work, then you will know his excellent score to Rio.Another thing you need to know, everyone is back from the first Rio. Jamie Foxx, Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, and many of the original cast returned for this and that makes this even more enjoyable. The new cast members are also enjoyable, including the excellent Andy Garcia. He is perfect for the role of Eduardo, but let's not forget the lovable Bruno Mars as Roberto. I was not familiar with him until I saw this and I now enjoy his music. For this being his first movie, Bruno Mars did an outstanding job as Roberto. He brought that character to life and added to the drama that was in the movie, with Blu thinking Roberto was going to steal Jewel away.The storyline was good, but like I said before, not much was said about Blu's past. We know how Jewel was separated from her family, but what I don't understand is why nothing was said about Blu's past. He had to have family like Jewel. Where are his parents? This may be a hint that Saldanha is going to focus Rio 3 on Blu and I hope he does. The loving moments between Blu and Jewel made me smile, and it's cute to see some love in movies like this. My favorite part was when Jewel laid her head on Blu and fell asleep in his wings, that was an great way to show Jewel's love for Blu.Saldanha, if you're reading this, you should be proud of this movie. You made another great movie and continue the great work. I hope you make Rio 3 and hope you continue the greatness like you did with this. This was by far your best work. So, if you are a love of animated movies, I suggest watching Rio 2. It's a lovable movie and one of the best sequels of 2014. This may not be an all time animated classic, but it is one of the best movies yet. If you move past the flaws in this, then you can enjoy this movie. Every movie will has flaws here and there, but the thing that makes a difference is to accept them and enjoy the movie. The only problems I did see in this movie is the leaving Blu's past unanswered. Like I said, this may be Saldanha's hint that Rio 3 might focus on Blu and his past, but it's all up to him.In the end, I give this movie 10 stars out of 10, I really enjoyed this movie and saw this three times in theaters. The 3D is worth the trip and if you enjoy 3D, then see this in 3D.

Hellmant 'RIO 2': One and a Half Stars (Out of Five)Sequel to the 2011 hit animated kids movie 'RIO'; about two blue macaws who fall in love, in Rio de Janiero, despite their many differences. They now have three kids (in this film) and their family travels to the Amazon, in order to meet up with other rare blue macaws there. It was directed by Carlos Saldanha and written by Don Rhymer, Carlos Kotkin, Jenny Bicks, Yoni Brenner and Saldanha. Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro, Jemaine Clement, George Lopez, Jamie Foxx, will.i.am and Tracy Morgan all return as voice actors. They're joined this time around by Kristin Chenoweth, Miguel Ferrer, Andy Garcia and many others. Despite all of the talent involved, the movie sucks; just like the first one does.Blu (Eisenberg) and Jewel (Hathaway) are happily living in Rio together, with their three children, as the story begins. Linda Gunderson (Mann), Blu's old owner, is on an expedition in the Amazon, with her ornithologist husband, Tulio (Santoro), when they discover that other blue macaws are living there. Blu and Jewel hear about it, over the news, and decide to journey to the Amazon to help find the other birds (since they're family). Once there they must battle evil loggers and their old nemesis Nigel (Clement), the cockatoo from the first film.The film is beautifully animated and the voice actors do a good job playing their characters (but not much is required of them). I can see how the movie could be somewhat funny, and amusing, to kids but only really young ones. It's mostly full of just silly childish humor, with nothing of any value to offer anyone (other than the simplest forms of entertainment, for children). I didn't like the first movie either though; so if you enjoyed it you might like this sequel too.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpJHaK5PsZc
