![]() The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation. But even with all these cast additions and changes, The Angry Birds Movie 2 still feels too derivative and like you’ve seen these tropes and beats before. All of them, as characters and voice actors, bring something different and add value to the narrative and some meat to the bones of the movie. There are several new characters added to the mix, and a few of them do make their presence felt most notably Silver (voiced by Rachel Bloom), Courtney (voiced by Awkwafina), and Garry (voiced by Sterling K.

The former sang along to songs on the soundtrack and repeated funny dialogue they’d just heard while the latter didn’t. However, the kids at the older end of the spectrum, the ones who probably were more in the previous demographic when the first film came out, seemed entertained but less reactive and enamored by what they were seeing. ![]() The younger members of the audience lapped up the silliness and the mild peril.

Director Thurop Van Orman previously worked on Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time, and Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, and he’s brought some of his flair from those projects and applied them here, taking what the first film laid out and giving it his own touch. Another bonus is that at 96 minutes long, one minute shorter than The Angry Birds Movie, it doesn’t overstay its welcome. ![]() ![]() Would you recommend someone go and see it without kids?
