Every now and then a movie comes along that the whole family enjoys, and inevitably ends up being watched on more than one occasion (sometimes more than once in a WEEK). For us, one of those films was Rio. When we found out there was a sequel being made, we were all super excited.
Life was busy, and we never had a chance to see it in the movie theater. When I found out I would be able to receive an advance copy for review, I was happy - knowing the boys would be thrilled.
It just so happens that it arrived yesterday, and Mr. K and I weren't feeling too well today (we both have a summer cold) so we decided it would be the perfect time to cuddle up on the couch and watch it.

I am always slightly leery of sequels, often times they aren't as good as the original. Unfortunately, I have to say that seems to be the case with Rio 2 (for me anyways) - I just couldn't really get into it. It was great to see the characters back for another story and Mr. K (3.5), however, seemed to really enjoy it. His favourite character was Gabi, a poison dart frog that is in love with Nigel.
I would say that Rio 2 gets a 2 out of 5 from me - but if you have young ones, they would probably enjoy it.
Have been trying to win this on other sites! No luck yet!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see both Rio and Rio 2!
ReplyDeleteI would like to win this to go with my first one, but I've heard from quite a few people that it's not as good as the first one, which is really sad because it looks so good
