Blue macaws Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and their three children are comfortably settled in the city -- perhaps too comfortably. Jewel fears that the children are becoming more like humans than birds. After learning that she and Blu may not be the last blue macaws after all, Jewel decides that their little family should visit the Amazon jungle. It's there that Blu meets his formidable father-in-law (Andy Garcia) and goes beak-to-beak with archnemesis Nigel (Jemaine Clement).

Critics Consensus

Like most sequels, Rio 2 takes its predecessor's basic template and tries to make it bigger -- which means it's even busier, more colorful, and ultimately more exhausting for viewers outside the youthful target demographic.

Director Carlos Saldanha's love for his native Rio shines through, but that's not quite enough to save the messy, sprawling story.

There's a natural energy to Rio 2 that can be traced to its pulsating soundtrack.

A sequel that is WORTHY BUT INFERIOR. Rio is the only movie from Blue Sky Studios that is not Ice Age to get a sequel. Ironically, I say that it was worth it. I see some positives in this - it was exciting to see how the Munteiro's (like Linda & Tulio got married) & how Blu, Jewel & their children got on & meeting other relatives Blu never met before. Once, again the music is awesome & your favourite part is going to be Nigels cover of "I Will Survive". There are stars like Bruno Mars in it. Another positive is the more serious environmental matter, about the matter of a birds home, no cutting down the forest, which was what the antagonist, Big Boss, regardless of size, always seemed intimidating in every way even more than Marcel in the predecessor. Big Boss was careless, abused his co workers & even tied Linda & Tulio to a tree & could have left them to die. Obviously, it is inferior; it has problems. There were some stupid storylines such as the time Blu meets Eduardo who does not approve of him, introducing Jewel to her former friend, Roberto possibly making her have an affair with him. And for those who thought Jewel was selfish, you need to know she was very unaware of Blu's lifestyle & I can admit she behaved in the wrong ways (do with a better script). And even the humans storyline was more interesting. After all "Moon River isn't going to sing itself".

Maybe the critics aren't mature enough to see that there are some very interesting storylines going on here. Blue wanting to be accepted, but for who he is. The struggle with his partner while dealing with his father in law. The return of villain Nigel with the amazing poisonous opera frog side kick who loves him to death. And the end battle between the destroyers of the amazon forest and those who are trying to protect it. I found it a worthy sequel, beautifully animated.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
