Reviews: Rio 2 (2014)

Reviews for this film from our members:

• José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
  • Excerpt: Secuela del éxito de hace unos años que mantiene la pauta de aquél: correcta, sin más. Eso sí, para los peques propone todo un aluvión de música y colorido que clama por la salvaguarda de la Madre Naturaleza.
• Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
• Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: The film’s knockout number goes to Chenoweth, whose no-holds-barred ‘Poisonous Love’ is a winner.
• Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: If the original movie was forgettable for the most part, Rio 2 at least has the dishonorable advantage of being memorable for the wrong reasons.
• Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
  • Excerpt: A frantic, family-friendly, musical adventure that’s filled with familiar feathered friends
• MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
  • Excerpt: This is what passes for a children’s movie these days: a 1950s sitcom drawn in pretty tropical CGI colors with a few mostly forgettable songs tossed in.
• [New – 6/6/14] | Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
  • Excerpt: Mesmo assim, o público do primeiro filme teve exactamente o que procurava e não será uma ida inútil ao cinema. Quem gostou do primeiro tem fortes motivos para gostar deste, e quem não gostou tem algo menos intenso para se ir acostumando.
• Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
  • Excerpt: Between the film’s white-world-order depiction of a multicultural society and its ham-fisted treatment of an ostensibly pro-ecology agenda, “Rio 2” is a confused piece of animation propaganda.
• Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
  • Excerpt: Simply tries too hard–overly busy and uncomfortably loud…though the animation is colorful and kids might enjoy it.
