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.

Jenni Miller

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.

There is nothing wrong with Rio 2, but there's not much great about it either. Kids will love this movie, and adults will not feel like they wasted their time.

Si bien disfrute de su gran animacion y personajes creo que la historia fue una aceleracion un poco brusca con su trama y desarrollo a sus personajes, interaciones buenas pero poco desarrollo en ellas, su musica escenario y arte es fantastico, seria genial ver algo mas a futuro en donde los personajes interatuen mas de mejor manera con una buena historia sin parecer algo apresusado buscando dar una gran emocion todo el tiempo

From the first iteration, the sequel was a major letdown, I only remember a few key parts in the movie and the storyline felt messy.
