...a blisteringly-paced animated endeavor that never becomes as tedious and grating as one might’ve feared...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 21, 2024

About as plot heavy as you'd imagine a movie based on an app would be. It's an underdog tale with messages of never giving up and being true to yourself but mostly its an excuse for bad bird jokes and lots of fine feathered action.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Why am I even being asked to invest in these cute little bird characters when I know their ultimate fate is a slingshot-launched kamikaze mission?

The Angry Birds Movie is definitely one of the more enjoyable video game adaptations for the big screen, likely because it stays true to the game's style: simple and fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2019

These Angry Birds served only to ruffle my own feathers just enough to keep me awake.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 29, 2019

There are far worse videogame adaptations than The Angry Birds Movie, but it commits the cardinal sin of animated films: it treats its young audience as an excuse for laziness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 3, 2019

Despite a lot of vocal talent, Angry Birds manages to be as pointless as the game.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 15, 2019

If you want to pay money for Angry Birds, see what iteration of the game you don't have, and buy that.

| Original Score: 5.0/10 | Dec 7, 2018

It's simplistic to a fault and the humour is only slightly racier than a typical Saturday morning cartoon, but it does all of those things with effort and conviction.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 1, 2018

Benefits from a good voice cast, bright and beautiful animation, and very funny and charming moments.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018

It is as if the film acknowledges the fact that its very existence is silly, and the most that it can do is to ride with the silliness and treat itself as one giant joke.

| Apr 10, 2018

It still falls back into those traps you see in so many bad animated films...unnecessary dance sequences, the pop culture references and catchphrases that are two years to late and using real world music in a fantasy world of birds.

| Feb 26, 2018

The birds are cute, but an unambitious storytelling sans twists and turns, makes this bird-watching unexciting if not tedious. The screenplay lacks depth and so does the conflict between characters.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2017

If you're an accompanying adult, be rest assured, there's plenty of chuckles in it for you too. It's a real egg-citing film.

Angry Birds shows that what happily fritters away a few idle moments on your mobile phone doesn't necessarily have the substance for a 95-minute feature.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 24, 2017

...could have been worse. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 23, 2017

I'm sorry they couldn't have relied more on the birdbrains at their disposal for a smarter story than a multimillion-dollar, volatile pun fest.

| Aug 11, 2017

Angry Birds could have been an unmitigated disaster, and it was a big relief to see that it didn't even come close to that.

| Jun 2, 2017

It's lushly animated, genuinely hilarious at times and even comes with the all-important message about speaking up for what you believe in.

| Feb 16, 2017

Would have been terrible even if it managed to come out during the period of time when society might have been interested in it. Instead, it's both terrible and deeply pathetic.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 4, 2016
