The Angry Birds movie is a must watch for kids. And if you’re an accompanying adult, be rest assured, there’s plenty of chuckles in it for you too. It’s a real egg-citing film.

In a world where movies based on games tend to suck, The Angry Birds Movie is a tiny little victory, and a nice diversion from Disney’s super large scale animation films. Now let’s hope this movie becomes successful and leads to a Candy Crush movie, or a Candy Crush Angry Birds shared universe.

In the end, the movie has a hero, and he is not your regular brave, kindred, happy soul, but an angry little bird, who wants nothing more than a peaceful life in his little house with the occasional outbursts of rage.

The film is depressing for its laziness and cynicism. The colours are bright, the birds are twee and toy ready, the jokes are not particularly clever and when nothing works, a pop number swells up in the background obliterating all thought.

The Angry Birds Movie is childish and occasional cute and capitalises on the game’s once addictive popularity.
