Anyone interested in animation needs to pay attention to what these films are doing. The writing formula may be crude, but the whiz-bang aesthetic is sensational.
If The Bad Guys 2 isn’t as hilarious as “Bad Guys 1,” it’s still got lots of giggles provided by a steller, comical voice cast providing a big part of the soundtrack to some genuine Tex Avery style eyeball-popping, gonzo, in-your-face animation.
Though it can be predictable and a little simple, The Bad Guys 2 smooths over some of the frustrations of the first — bringing a sharper and (slightly) more mature sense of humour to its compellingly cartoonish animation.
The Bad Guys 2 picks up from where the first film left off, expanding the world with fresh characters and a plot that feels new, even if the overall rhythm follows the familiar beats of its predecessor. The pacing is smooth and keeps things on a basic but steady level of engagement, never dragging yet never soaring beyond expectation. The core gang — Wolf, Snake, Shark, Piranha, and Tarantula — evolve decently, though not in any extraordinary ways. The newcomers, while compelling and adding flavor to the story, could have benefitted from a little more background to feel fully fleshed out. Stylistically, the film retains the sharp visual flair of the first installment. The direction keeps the energy alive, balancing comedy, action, and heart with confidence. While the visual humor lands effectively, the dialogue-driven comedy occasionally dips into juvenile territory, making it less sharp compared to the original. Where The Bad Guys 2 truly shines is in its visuals. The animation is superb, with impressive world-building and lively action sequences that remain engaging throughout. The score complements the energy well, adding to the spectacle without overshadowing it. On a thematic level, the film touches on friendship, trust, and teamwork — not in an adult or deeply mature sense, but with a teenage-level accessibility that works for its intended audience. It manages to be both fun and lightly emotional, with a climax that feels satisfying and well-earned. Sum up - The Bad Guys 2 may not reinvent itself, but it delivers on entertainment with strong animation, engaging direction, and a spirit that makes it a worthy follow-up.
Can we get a Megamind 2 Film now with this type of Quality Action, animation and Story at the least, Dream Works? Or are you just going to continue giving Sequels to Films that don't need them, Like This or Shrek? No, Ok then, I will rate this film fairly as I always do. It's slightly better than the Original, but it still holds major flaws, just as the original did. While this film goes into extreme, ridiculous territory, that is the only thing that makes the film interesting enough to watch all the way through. All of the Jokes are lame, the Characters are just basic and boring, and to be honest, there are too many of them to allow us to focus on a particular plot point. And for the Record, I didn't even laugh once, not once, not even a smirk came to me. Why? Because none of these characters are relatable, besides the wolf, the fox and the commissioner. The plot continues to give them problems, then forgets what's said in the past, and then just continues the story. It felt a bit off. Other than that, the Animation is good, the Story is passable, and the Visuals are pretty neat. However, it lacks what DreamWorks films had in the past: heart. And so it's incredibly Hard to rate this film because it is better than the first, but retains problems in other areas that the first never had. I was thinking about a 7/10, but I asked myself, would I recommend this to anyone to watch? No.
Would I let my Kid watch these films? Probably not because I didn't find it good, just entertaining. So maybe. Overall, I am sad to say that while yes, the film is entertaining, it uses a lot of cool action scenes like a F and F movie, but the other parts of the film weigh it down as they do not complement each other. I think the only best part of this film is the commissioner, her Character is spot on and done well, while the Wolf is just charismatic and not really relatable in this one, unlike the **** see, you understand now when I mentioned the problems earlier. While this may entertain the Small Kid ages 3 -10, it doesn't compare to anything that Dreamworks has made in the past. This is better than that Ruby Gillman Film, though. There are also Fart Jokes and Akwafina, and you know what I think about those 2 things... 6/10, I'm never going to watch this film ever again, I probably forget it by tomorrow.
Predictably safe and boring. Found the main characters were taking the back seat to side new characters most of the time. Jokes were weak and there was almost no depth to the plot.
