Happy Feet 2

[JohnWillow]

Who liked it? Who didnt?

Personally i found so many things wrong with it but i'd like a few other opinions before i let out my own

[Sleet]

From the trailer alone I thought it looked awful and didn't see it. But I'm open to other opinions.

Gotta admit, I love Elijah Wood. I've not seen the movie, and didn't like the plot of the first one though. So, yeah, there's my experience at least.

[JohnWillow]

I feel a bit like Joey's friend Lester because i thought the movie was hideous, it totally sullied the first one and i'm not afraid to tell you why.

It was really hard to swallow that none of the penguins know what a puffin is, i accept that they know every song from the last fifty years, not so much that they know how to hip-hop and get this, BASE JUMP!!! But no one knows what a Puffin is.....

There were about a thousand plots in this movie including one long and pointless sidestory about krill.

The new character Sven showed a very disturbing interest in Gloria, the writers weren't afraid to suggest that he slipped his tongue in her mouth.

And apart from a few badly placed musical numbers the other vexing part of this film was when Boadicia, a baby penguin, made it back to Adélie Land, a place she's only been to once, when the ice bridge was destroyed

If you think my opinions are too strong let me know and i'll try to tone them down in future

I haven't seen this film, but considering that puffins don't live in the Antarctic, it's rather likely a penguin wouldn't know what a puffin was. (That depends on how human the penguins are treated, of course. If they are in other respects treated as culturally equivalent, that would be weird.)

I only have vague memories of the original Happy Feet, but I don't remember it impressing me too much so I don't have any plans to see this one.

I'm in pretty much the same boat as CP. I scarcely remember what the first film was about, though I remember quite vividly that it wasn't anything impressive. As such, I was never terribly interested in seeing the sequel.

I'm just wondering this, how in any way did the first one warrant a second movie? The first one wasn't bad it just, existed.

I'm assuming it's that little kids love penguins. Also, apparently the first movie was a top grosser for the first 3 weeks. Heck, they made back over half their budget in only 5 days. I must admit, I don't look at movie stats too often, but that sounds really impressive to me.

The movie's been out 8 weeks, and they're still not broken even yet (and it's made less then half the amount the first made in the opening weekend), so I highly doubt there will be a third one.

Also, wow, the movie has plenty of stars...Elijah Wood, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon are some that I actually really like.

[The Grey Wolverine]

With that in mind, if you want to watch something with penguins, watch March of the Penguins. Morgan Freeman is the narrator. All I need to say.

[JohnWillow]

Believe me the star studded cast doesnt make this movie worth your time. Admittedly it took me a few times to warm to the first one, but it was better for several reasons, comedy timing, enviromental message, voice overs, even the dance numbers. It finished on a note similar to many pixar movies, as in you couldn't see it needing a sequel.

I figure this movie was put together after the decent but comparably small success of Owls of Ga'hoole, which i hope will have a sequel.

[The Grey Wolverine]

Still, Pixar can make really good sequels, like Toy Story 2-3
