Review of Rio 2 (2014) by Movie K — 13 Jul 2016

A sequel is inevitable although it is slightly weaker compare to the first one. Tulio and Linda go into the jungle to release a bird they nursed back and they found more of Blue species. Meanwhile, Blu and Jewel along with their 3 kids still live in the city.

Jewel see the news and wish to find the others. Rafael and Nico tag along. Illegal loggers (big boss Miguel Ferrer) are cutting down the trees. The family bumble along the way and found the other species.

Blu found his father Eduardo (Andy Garcia) and he don't really like Blu urban style. Blu is also jealous of Roberto (Bruno Mars) the childhood playmate of Jewel. Nigel is now a fortune telling bird who is trap with a poison frog Gabi (Kristin Chenoweth) who likes Nigel and an anteater.

Nigel saw the family flying and reignite his vengeance. After the previous accident he is saved but unable to fly anymore. Blu try to fit in but fail. He thought of taking a nut for Jewel as breakfast but unknowingly venture into another macaw species territory.

The 2 sides fight it out in a football match. Blu is the last substitute and he score an own goal which lost the match 4-3. Blu is sad that Jewel and the kids want to stay in the jungle so he pack his bag and find Linda.

Linda and Tulio are caught by the loggers and tied to a tree. Blu found them and save them. Roberto thought he is traitor and work with human. Blu tell him to warn the other birds as trees are falling.

Blu unite the birds to fight the loggers. Even other animals and rival macaw helps. Blu take the dynamite up to the sky and Nigel latch on. Gabi prepare her poison dart and the anteater shoot but it hit Nigel instead.

Then one of Blu daughter say Gabi is not a poisonous species of frog and she is so happy she hug Nigel which annoy him. The forest is to become protected area and Blu and Jewel with everyone else live happily there.
