Review:

I bought The Angry Birds Movie assuming it was going to be hilariously bad, but it turns out it's something so much worse; The Angry Birds Movie is painfully average. The animation looks fine, not as good as Pixar but not as bad as Illumination, but just fine. The voice acting is good, although I don't like a fair portion of the voice actors, they didn't do a bad job. The story is very predictable and cliche, but it's not terrible. I hated most of the characters, but a few (like the one Josh Gad plays) are okay. It's clearly a kids movie, but they do make attempts to entertain the adults who are forced to watch it. The issue is that these attempts are very odd choices. There is an uncomfortable amount of sexual humor and innuendo for a kids' movie. I personally have no problem with sexual humor and innuendo, but it feels so wrong and dirty to see a cartoon bird doing pelvic thrusts while talking about making new eggs. They also just throw in random references that are out of place, like The Shinning and 50 Shades of Grey. The Angry Birds Movie isn't offensively bad like Ice Age or Sausage Party, but it also isn't "good bad" like Life is a Jungle or one of the knockoff movies. This movie doesn't do anything particularly well or terribly, everything is just okay. I wanted a dumpster fire, a hard F-, but I got a C-. It's colorful and energetic enough to keep kids entertained, but there isn't any reason for an adult to chose to watch it.
