The Bad Guys 2

A lovely film, maybe even better than the first. This movie basically shows quick-paced action scenes most of the time, even the very beginning, and from there it just gets more. Like with the first one, if you want a comedic spin on heist movies, or the craziness that Fast and Furious turned into, this will be a movie for you. Overly complicated heist plans, ridiculous action scenes and absolutely lovable characters, with very short breaks in the actions where you can, for example, follow the "Bad Guys" try to find new jobs with. If you loved them in the first movie, you'll get more of it here. Mostly comedy, there are serious situations and messages about caring for your friends, small twists, and several "WTF that's hilarious" moments, with characters that really care for each other. Also, there's a small scene with a young Webs with braces! How can a spider be so cute?! The antagonist seen in the trailer are all lovely new additions with their own, very distinct personalities. Also, Kitty is basically Tai Lung, so, that's cool. On a tech side, which I can only barely judge really: Everything looks really nice with clean, quick animations and damn did I love the gold particle effects in one scene especially! The facial expression, like in the first movie, are really lovely as well. So, yeah, definitely recommended! By far not as emotional heavy as movies like Coco and Toy Story 3, but hey, it's good for a chance ro just enjoy some happiness instead of wanting to cry in a comedy movie! Go watch it! -- (To add to some of the other reviews on other sites: yes, so many hot characters! Kitty muscles, Diane thighs and Webs cuter than ever. 😁)

A pretty solid sequel compared to the first, which I only found okay. The animation is top-notch, the story is familiar but still a blast, and I loved the fun nods to Mission: Impossible, Lethal Weapon, and even Silence of the Lambs?!? And yes—the fart jokes actually hit. 💨🧑‍🚀

Well you know that old saying about no good deed going unpunished. The guys are desperately trying to stay on the straight and narrow but someone is out to set them up. Their only route to salvation would appear to be to give up their new shiny haloes and start working with the dastardly “Kitty Kat” who has a cunning plan to turn a spaceship into a giant magnet that can collect all the gold from the face of the planet. Even the burgeoning romance that might (or might not) be going on between “Fox” and mayor “Diane” is unlikely to stop the police commissioner from getting them behind bars once again. They’ve got their work cut out for them, and as everyone knows - there’s no one scorned like a cat in heels! It reminded me a bit of one of the early “Mission Impossible” films, with the emphasis on the gadgets and the scenarios, but not really on the characterisations. Aside from a little wolf/fox mischief the whole thing just followed an all too predicable pattern of out of the pan into the fire escapades that can only ever really lead to “Bad Guys 3”. The animation is great and there is plenty of action, but I wasn’t overwhelmed by the originality of any of this and I couldn’t help but wish that they were just plain, out-and-out, bad again. All this goody-goody stuff changes the dynamic between the critters, and not in an enjoyable way. My own favourite, “Tarantula” doesn’t feature nearly enough and there’s also an awful lot of dialogue. I might just be desensitised to these animated crime capers now, but this just didn’t do anything for me. Sorry.
