Geek Review: The Angry Birds Movie | Geek Culture
By all accounts, The Angry Birds Movie is a recipe for disaster. It's an animated movie based on a series of mobile video games that have since waned in popularity. And even if it hadn't, few movies based on a property, especially a video game one, have been any good.

Yeah, knowing it would be a steaming pile of excrement, I downloaded a reasonably decent CAM rip of this movie a few days ago. I'm hopelessly addicted to the mobile games, and a big fan of Josh Gad, so I figured it would at least be mildly entertaining. Usually when there's little or no plot for a video game movie to go on, they just take the characters from the game and write an interesting story that involves them, not necessarily being in sync with the game play. That's more or less what they did here, but you can't sugar coat this turd.
Ugh, this movie was still pretty hard to sit through. The birds live happily on their island, a small group of pigs show up on a large, wooden boat and offer presents to the local birds. GASP but it turns out they have a more sinister motive in mind.. to take over! Then... steal their eggs and eat them. Of course there's a single scene where the birds sling shot themselves into the pig town, destroying homes and setting off the boxes of inexplicable TNT that the pigs seem to manufacture .. for some reason.
The voice acting is the only thing keeping any audience member with more than two brain cells to rub together from stabbing themselves in the eye sockets with a #2 pencil, just to end their suffering.
I have a feeling that this movie may or may not be a hit with a much younger audience, as it's got slapstick comedy and a fast talking bird that seems to get a lot of speeding tickets, voiced by Josh Gad. Oh my gad. Then again, it might be a box office flop, ending up on various streaming sites for a few months and eventually making a few bucks on DVD/BluRay sales. Since it has a miserable 43% rating on RT (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_angry_birds_movie/), I'm guessing Rovio won't be making much of their money back. Stick to gouging us with in-app purchases and hundreds of frustrating levels we can't beat without spending $20 on power ups and leave the animated classics to Pixar/Disney.
