Kevin says THE BAD GUYS 2 kinda rocks!
Three years ago, THE BAD GUYS delivered a unique, fresh animated adventure. Now, they’re back for another score in THE BAD GUYS 2.
This time, they are blackmailed into a job by a notorious criminal and have to find a way to pull things off but keep their new Good Guys reputation.
Overall, this is fun and entertaining. The excellent voice cast returns, and it’s not just low-brow body jokes. But those are in there to get the laughs from the kiddies.
The only crime committed in THE BAD GUYS 2 is going bigger for the sequel. I know film has a tarantula that’s a computer expert, and a piranha walking around on land. But at some point, the absurdity goes too far.
Where the Fast & Furious franchise took 20 years and 9 films, this movie does in 90 minutes. I’m no rocket scientist, but even I had trouble swallowing the third act.
Still, it’s a slick film that should appeal to the whole family, even if it is a bit overblown.
THE BAD GUYS 2 gets three wolf whistles out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
