Review of Happy Feet Two (2011) by Johnny T — 16 Aug 2012

Robin Williams, who's sometimes too overbearing in real-life live action, makes a great cartoon-character voice. For me, Happy Feet Two is pretty thin soup. The animation is bright and attractive, the music gives the characters something to do, but the movie has too much dialogue in the areas of philosophy and analysis. The film reminds viewers young and old that to make a positive change, sometimes the little guy at the bottom of the food chain needs to stomp his feet. Much like its Oscar-winning predecessor, the story focuses on lads and dads, though there are strong mama figures and daughters, too. Dazzling panoramas, no matter how impressive, are no substitute for the involving story Happy Feet Two has had to do without.

VERDICT: "In The Zone" - [Mixed Reaction] These kinds of movies are usually movies that had some good things, but some bad things kept it from being amazing. This rating says buy an ex-rental or a cheap price of the DVD to own. If you consider cinema, ask for people's opinion on the film. (Films that are rated 2.5 or 3 stars).
