Angry Birds

One sentence synopsis: Whatever, it's based on a phone app, ffs.

One sentence thoughts: haha...meh...hah...meh.

Expanded thoughts: I was very surprised to be actually laughing at some of the silly anger management issue jokes from this trailer. I mean, I don't even like the game it's based on, though I understand why it's so addictive; I have similar addiction problems with Fun Run, which come to think on it already had its Hollywood adaptation with Mad Max: Fury Road. Sort of.

I can identify with "Red" so much I think I might see this movie just because of him.

Anyway, some scenes were surprisingly funny, only to be immediately undercut by clichéd sequences that seemingly pop up in every single animated movie trailer. And going back to that synopsis: really, what's the plot here? Some birds suffer from anger issues, and then randomly some pigs appear on a ship, announce they are pigs, and...umm, conflict ensues, or something. Yes, I know the birds attack the pigs in the game, but if you have absolutely no idea about the game and watch this, you will be scratching your head. Heck, you probably would scratch your head anyway. I was.

Yes, you are pigs. Green pigs. So? Should we fight or something?

However, despite this, I have a feeling this movie is going to do really well on that opening weekend. After all, Summer is the season for two hour ads in the theaters.

Expectations: Meh. Maybe. I don't know. Probably not in the theaters. Unless I'm really, really bored.
