Movie Review: Rio 2

Let's get the positive out of the way. On a technical standpoint, Rio 2 didn't disappoint one bit. The colors are abundant and vibrant, the animation was awesome, and some of the wide scenic shots looked impeccable. Add to that the background music that certainly got across the energy and vibrancy of the film's theme. That being said, the story was neither interesting or now, the humor fell flat more often than not, and the writing was pretty generic. I don't know if I'm just grading on a curve, especially given Pixar's ability to deliver terrific animated films, but this was just a typical talking animal adventure film. Look, Rio 2 was a decent family movie that's suitable for the entire family, but adult viewers may walk away slightly disappointed. I did. 6
