Predictable yet undeniably entertaining, “Rio 2” is not a bad way at all to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

It delivers enough bang for your buck, and then some.

In keeping with Marvel tradition, there’s a steady stream of clever one-liners and witticisms, including Black Widow’s repeated teasing of our earnest superhero. But the film’s real strength is Chris Evans’ robust performance as Captain America, who finally emerges a fully realized character, worthy of his place in the Marvel universe.

It’s a flight of fancy that I recommend you do not miss. The family drama plays out before the entire neighborhood, and it’s through scenes like these that Kapoor skillfully offers you an India that you recognize and love.

It’ an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, and Rani stays in your heart.
Ultimately, it’s Kangana Ranaut who makes you root for Rani from the word go. The best way to describe her fabulous performance is by confessing that I forgot I was watching Kangana. It’s a raw, nuanced, delicately comical performance, and Bahl rightfully builds his film around his fearless, quirky heroine.

…a poignant yet inspiring film that unfolds like your standard biopic. Yet it’s riveting each time McConaughey is on screen.

It’s a quietly moving film that’ll stay with you. I couldn’t shake it off for days.

The film then is easy and breezy, although too long at nearly two-and-a-half hours. Predictable and occasionally misguided, but also hopelessly fun.

Crisply shot in bright hues, and hinting at a technologically-infused future, this is ultimately a deeply moving film about a romance that feels painfully authentic. Love, after all, is love…whether your partner is made of flesh and blood, or coding, or rubber like that doll in the Ryan Gosling film.

The film’s sheer genius lies in its ability to deliver witty jokes at a rat-a-tat speed. It’s also possibly the only film that allows everyone from Michaelangelo and Wonder Woman, to Abraham Lincoln, Gandalf and Dumbledore to show up in the same place. To borrow the very theme song of this film, everything is awesome!

Like all Disney films, this one too is doused in a vat of good-natured sweetness and sprinkled with a helping of schmaltz. Yet the film is eminently watchable whenever Thompson is on screen. As the forever snapping Mrs Travers – she refuses to be addressed with even the slightest hint of familiarity, no Pam or Pamela will do, thank you very much – she nevertheless brings wit and charm to a film that could’ve done with a little less sugar to make the medicine go down.
