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.

Rio 2 is a charming and lively sequel that expands the world of the original instead of repeating it. The move into the Amazon gives the story fresh energy as Blu and Jewel set out on a heartfelt journey to reconnect with her long-lost family. The screenplay mixes sweetness, humor, and music, with Kristin Chenoweth stealing scenes as Gabi, the dramatic poisonous frog whose dynamic with Nigel is hilarious. Roberto adds another layer of comedy, especially as Blu struggles with jealousy and fitting into Jewel’s old world. The director brings back the full cast with ease while boosting the visuals with vibrant, tropical animation. Though lighter on music than the first film, the songs still add fun and rhythm. It’s a colorful, funny, and genuinely sweet adventure that feels fresh, warm, and worth watching for families and animation fans alike.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

E' un sequel che intrattiene, possiede un ottimo ritmo e delle belle canzoni ma manca un buon antagonista

Rio 2 (2014) is a very fun sequel that maintains the same energy as the first film, but both are a 6.0! It was a good move that this adventure was in the Amazon and I also talk a little about deforestation.

You guys know you don’t like Rio 2? Bruno Mars is actually the voice of the blue parrot character Roberto — and he’s a really good singer in it. 🎤🦜✨
