Plot:
At the beginning of the movie Rio 2, we
see Blu and Jewel are living a happy life in Rio de Janeiro with
their three children and the friends. Jewel doesn't like the human
culture in Blu and the children, but somehow they are getting along.
On an expedition of Tulio and Linda in
Amazon rainforest, they find the existence of more birds of Blu's
species, which they previously believed, has become extinct. They
announce this news on T.V. and decides to continue their journey to
find the home of these birds. This announcement instantly make them
enemy of an illegal logger group's boss.
The announcement also makes Jewel
excited and she pressures Blu to go to Amazon to find their real
place on earth. So, Blu's family leaves their home to Amazon to find
those birds. Blu takes his travel kits with him, which includes a GPS
and other necessary human things. Two of Blu's friends also joins the
family in their journey.
Nigel, a villain from the prequel, sees
Blu leaving and follows him silently to take his revenge on Blu for
the accident which makes him unable to fly anymore. An anteater and a
poisonous frog joins him. The poisonous frog is in love with Nigel.
Their first attempt to kill Blu fails and finally, Blu's family and
Nigel's group reach the Amazon rainforest.
After some searching, Blu and his
family finds the home of those birds. There Jewel finds her long lost
family. Now Jewel has her father, sister and her childhood friends.
Everyone adjusts there very well, everyone except Blu. Jewel's family
is against everything related to humans but Blu is very much used to
living in the human way.So Blu finds a very hard time adjusting
there. Jewel tries to support him and tells him that they are never
going to leave this place.
Since childhood, Blu is living with the
humans, so he doesn't know how to survive in the jungle. One of his
mistakes causes them a fight with their enemy bird group. For Blu's
another mistake, those enemy birds win, for which, Jewel's family
loses the hold of food of that area. This makes everyone (including
Jewel) very disappointed on Ble and Blu becomes deeply depressed.
With his GPS, Blu finds Linda and
Tulio, who have already got attacked by the loggers and the logger's
have left them to die. Blu learns about the logger's plan to destroy
that part of the forest, which also includes Jewel's family's home.
Blu warns the other birds about it. He
tries to convince all the birds to fight for their land. By growing
up with humans, he know the human techniques and machines and he is
confident that he can stop the loggers with the help of the other
birds. At the same time, Nigel and his friends plans to launch their
final attack to kill Blu.
Can Blu save their home? Do the other
birds trust him after all these? Can he get away from Nigel's attack?
Lets watch Rio 2 to know the answers.
My review about the movie Rio 2:
First of all, I didn't like Rio 2 much.
The plot of Rio 2 was simple and very
predictable. The plot will not give you any thrill at all. Sometimes,
it seemed like too many things got congested in a single movie. To
me, it didn't disappoint much, because I was not a big fan of its
prequel, Rio. Rio 2 may seem enjoyable to children, but should not
amuse the elders. We have seen several animated films like the Ice
Age series, which seemed enjoyable to elders too.
Rio 2 has a good number of songs in it.
Sometimes those felt as a good touch, sometimes not. But this movie
badly lacked some humor elements. More humors could make it more
pleasant. The animation and the use of colors was brilliant in this movie, and that's the only thing I liked about it. The
direction seemed good in Rio 2, but the screenplay seemed weak.
The dialogues of all the characters
were okay but nothing extraordinary. They could be prefect if they
contained more humor. The character of Blu didn't seem strong
enough. The characters of the villain Nigel also didn't seem strong.
So, finally, I didn't enjoy watching
Rio 2 much. This movie lacked the trill from its sequel and it seemed
as just a very predictable plot is moving forward. Children should
love to see all those beautiful birds and other things, but it may
not seem enjoyable to the grown ups. This one may seem inferior
comparing with its prequel. So, I will not recommend watching Rio 2
to movie fans, even to the animation fans.
But that's just me. How did you like
