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.

Jenni Miller Film.com Director Carlos Saldanha's love for his native Rio shines through, but that's not quite enough to save the messy, sprawling story. Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Punch Drunk Critics Thoroughly mediocre. Rated: 2/5 Jan 9, 2017 Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) The film is at its most entertaining in the musical sequences. Rated: 3/5 Jul 2, 2014 Full Review Robert Sims Lights Camera Austin There's a natural energy to Rio 2 that can be traced to its pulsating soundtrack. Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren Really this all results in just a beautifully rendered feature offering lots of lighthearted fun. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net Your kids will be entertained and it's not a bad movie. Rated: C Feb 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

CARMINE SEBASTIAN D NON UN CAPOLAVORO DI FILM SARÀ PURE LONTANO ANNI LUCE DAL PRIMO MA NON NEANCHE COSI BRUTTO COME DICONO IN TANTI, PER È UN BUON FILM MA NULLA PIÙ. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Sjaak H Maybe the critics aren't mature enough to see that there are some very interesting storylines going on here. Blue wanting to be accepted, but for who he is. The struggle with his partner while dealing with his father in law. The return of villain Nigel with the amazing poisonous opera frog side kick who loves him to death. And the end battle between the destroyers of the amazon forest and those who are trying to protect it. I found it a worthy sequel, beautifully animated. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Jopa Z we could have stopped at the end of the first film, where this one has a weak and uninteresting story Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Verril Manuel A a sequel after first film, and i watched every time!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Vabian G okay sequel after first film and villain is back! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review TROY S There is nothing wrong with Rio 2, but there's not much great about it either. Kids will love this movie, and adults will not feel like they wasted their time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis 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).
