You might notice how I am doing this review for the site by myself without assistance from our staff unlike the previous ones. There's a simple reason for it: When I watched the first part of this story I was fascinated with the visuals, the characters and the amazing level of creativity contained within, thus I assigned myself to do this review. Yes, I took advantage of being the creator of the site; feel free to comment your complaints below.

For months I waited to see the sequel and today the time was upon me. What did I think of the picture? Oh my, what a disappointment...

The story kicks off just a few minutes after the end of the first movie. Flint's childhood idol, Chester V., arrives at the island to offer him a job in this company "LIVE Corp."; his lifelong dream will finally become a reality.

Along with his best friends, father and new girlfriend, he moves to another town while LIVE Corp. cleans the mess left by all the food on the island.

A short time after, Chester V. goes to Flint and asks him for some help since the cleaning efforts aren't going as planned because his add-water-and-turn-into-food machine is not only creating food now but also life.

Flint and company will have to go back to the island to fix everything and stop his machine once and for all.

Analysis:

The visuals are still awesome. The 3D offers just enough for kids and grownups alike. The characters continue being interesting and funny.

The creativity level on the other hand is almost completely gone: The food creatures know no gray areas. They are either cool and creative or ridiculous and unimaginative.

Just one example of what I'm talking about is the "Tacrocodile". A "crocodile + taco" with legs and tail made of peppers. Another one would be how a lot, A LOT of the creatures are just vegetables or fruits with little black dot-eyes and nothing more.

Either very disappointing or just a lack of effort in creating them.

To make matters worse the story isn't very interesting and if it weren’t for the many funny moments, the film would feel long.
