Ambitious but conventional
16 September 2022
This second part is more ambitious than the first, but still doesn't leave the formula of family films.

This is a story that we have already seen many times, but the idea is more ambitious by involving more characters and more subplots, and that is what fails in this film, the first one is also very predictable and conventional, but it was more simple, that did not involve complex characters and situations, contrary to what happens in this film, where the formula ruins any new idea. The characters do not have a growth, as well as their relationships between them are very simple and are very similar to those in the first part, the story has many conveniences, unnecessary subplots and uninteresting characters, although it did not bore me at all, it has parts quite entertaining, but the ending is very predictable. The special effects look good and realistic, the humor is still very childish, I hardly laughed throughout the movie, but the Natasha Rothwell scenes were hilarious, even though they don't have much impact on the plot.

The children's movie formula completely ruins any potential idea of the plot, although it entertains almost all of the time, it fails to stand out or surpass the previous one, it only does so in the special effects.
