Based off of the many many Games, Angry Birds tells the story of Red (Jason Sudeikis) a bird who is ordered to go to Anger Management where he meets Chuck (Josh Gad) and Bomb (Danny McBride) but one night a Boat comes to their island home and its full of Green Pigs led by Leonard (Bill Hader) and his intentions may not be as friendly as he claims that they are.
Going into this film I felt really only thing running through my mind "This is either going to be great or its going to be horrible" and it was one that I found very hard to shake as the film got closer to release so was it either of those things.
Well no but it was awfully boring to sit through but before I delve into that I do want to talk about what I did like and those are first of all Peter Dinklage as the Mighty Eagle I thought he was fun in the film but at the same time you expect the goods from him by this point and he was better I think in the Boss from earlier this year and second of all the animation around Chuck was really fun to watch even if some of it was inspired by Quicksilver from the X-Men.
However the story of the film just bored me to no end, I felt that it didn't really feel fun or bright or energetic in any way, a lot of it felt very predictable and also it just felt a little predictable and given what companies like Pixar and Illumination Entertainment and Laika are capable of doing in terms of animated films that have a broad appeal to kids and adults, to have something like this come along I feel isn't enough anymore.
And so that was Angry Birds, younger kids will have fun with it but I don't know if older kids will get much out of it, 1 out of 5.
