Plot: A bird with a temper problem along with a speedy bird and a volatile bombing bird have always felt like outsiders. But when mysterious green pigs decide to visit the island, these birds take the task upon themselves to figure out what the pigs are up to.
Review: The extension of the popular gaming franchise presents an enjoyable, fun-filled story about three angry birds and their attempt to figure out what the invading pigs are up to.
The movie is a fast, hysterically entertaining movie and delivers a positive message to the viewers. The story contains sufficient emotion in it to be able to make the viewers get attached to the characters. The highlight of the movie is its final act where the birds start launching themselves at the pigs' forts to cause a collapse which is very much reminiscent to the game.
The various classical rock songs used as soundtrack used in the movie were amazingly funny and perfect. The unfortunate events that take place surrounding Red are hilarious and are brilliantly portrayed through voiceover by Jason Sudeikis; the one-lining sarcasms by Red were hilarious. Every character in the movie has been paired to perfection with their voice counterparts.
Overall, the movie succeeds in making an adaptation of the popular game, and includes all the wit and humour that was necessary. The animation and design work have been exquisitely extracted from the games' tropical setting which is makes the movie all the more enjoyable and is a pleasant nostalgia for fans of the original games.
