Review of Ride Along 2 (2016) by T-Rodney — 16 Jan 2016
For Ride Along 2 bigger doesn't always mean better,but satisfying more the less.One thing Ride Along 2 did good no GREAT was Kevin Hart, the guy is just the best comedian in Hollywood and it shows in this movie and I guarantee Kevin Hart fans will not be disappointed, every time he steps on you just laugh and laugh although it feels he carries the weight of the film too much unfortunately the same things can't be said for the co-stars.
Ice cube who plays as Kevin Hart's partner is just too dry at times and his seriousness doesn't always match with Kevin's wit although there were some fun moments between the two.Ice Cube and Kevin Hart just don't have great chemistry and some of the heart felt moments between the two felt cheap, same thing can be said about Oliver Munn who is the exact same character as Ice cube but she has tries to have a more comedic role which felt awkward and cringy at times with makes you go no Psylocke no(fingers crossed she won't do the same thing in X-Men Apocalypse), but all this can be ignored because there is a lot fun and enjoyment in this movie .
This sequel outshines the original in the comedy as Ride Along 2 is Funnier and crazier although some of the jokes feel forced and lazy and the first half of the movie is rather dull but picks up fast.
Ken Jeong is the best new character this movie has and he has some great scenes as well as Tika Sumpter who plays Kevin Hart's girlfriend who wasn't in the film as much but was good in the film as Ben's girlfriend.
The villain in this film is rather generic and cliche but is a better villain than the first movie, but if you don't mind cliché villains you won't mind.So overal Ride Along 2 is not as good as the first Ride Along but is a satisfactory sequel, a good popcorn flick,if you're looking for something deeper in this film you won't find it as the film has weak character growth, but no the less Ride Along 2 has great comedy, some wild action and if you can ignore some bad CGI and weak characters you will have a great time.
