Basic Synopsis: See how Mike and Sully became friends.
Now that that's over, I thought that this movie was really well made. I thought the character dynamic between Mike and Sully was top notch. A simple rivalry and the relationship wasn't forced at all. It actually developed quite nice and slowly which you don't see often in films and it was as more of a character driven story.
Also a stand out was the Dragon, Scorpion chick. I forgot her name but I really liked her. She was three dimensional and quite scary. SHE actually scared me. And I'm not easily frightened... okay that was a lie.
However I will admit that the side character's mostly didn't interest me. I loved Mike and Sully but all their fraternity brothers were just kinda "meh" to me.
But Sully in particular was great. He was such a jock in this but I thought he was so cool and laid back and even a little moody and hence as the number one character that stuck out most to me, Sully wins the prize.
Also evil guy from the first movie was here and I quite liked him. He was kinda nerdy and totally cool! It was kinda like the origins for what all these guys would become and that was kinda neat.
I also like how this movie says "You may love something, doesn't mean you are good at it" and how Mike really wasn't scary and that scene near the end when he goes into the human world... THAT WAS SO HEARTBREAKING BUT EPIC at the same time.
Also a little thing I love in movies is when nothing is really going on (I don't know why but Stand By Me pretty much immortalized that thing for me) where it is simply characters interacting and these two do that perfectly. I LOVED seeing them interact. I LOVE character dynamic and Mike and Sully had such a good one. So if I was gonna do a Fanfic it would be about Mike, Sully and that scorpion chick because they were the main stand outs in this film and who I will remember.
Also Mike wasn't as much as a comedian, which kinda bothered me... a little, but I do think he was better developed in this.
Also there was so many tie ins with the first movie, it was super fun for that reason. It was feel good and the last ten minutes was like the cherry on top of the perfect film. It's kinda like "Yeah you can start from rock bottom and still make it" because sometimes you can.
Also major twist that I loved was how things didn't just go straight forward narrative, the last thirty minutes were really imaginative and there's something that Sully does that is so heartbreaking to Mike, I felt like crying.
I love how no matter how much you try, this movie simply says, sometimes something is just not your destiny.
And one last thing before I finished this review. Mike's dream is displayed in this film as something he thought he would never accomplish, but does in a different way in the first movie.
Kay, that's all my geeking out for today
10/10
