I didnt watch the first bad guys movie, the only reason why i saw this one was because a group i attend was going to the theater and this movie seemed like the one i would enjoy the most. But now i think i might actually want to see the first movie. It was actually better than i was expecting, the animation specifically was really good. I loved the stylization and all of that. This movie also knows how to dial things up to elevel properly, its a lot like "the mitchells vs the machines" where its all over the place and the intensity can give you whiplash, but the difference is that this movie actually embraced it and decided to just go all the way with it instead of also trying to be serious. Like for example, theres this one scene towards the beginning where the main characters are running from an angry mob, and everyone literally piles onto eachother and forms a massive mountain of people charging at them like in world war Z, its crazy. Its not just jingling keys in front of the audiences face, its actually coming up with clever things to do with its crazyness. The comedy is also very good, there were several moments that gave me a good chuckle. There were a couple jokes that didnt quite land (there was one that was actually cringy) but overall it was good its definitely a good movie. Children especially will love it, but theres also a lot of stuff for adults to enjoy as well. It definitely lives up to what it should be.

I was honestly expecting worse. To be fair, it wasnt infufferably gross and annoying like i thought it was going to be, it was just mediocre. Its not on "ren and stimpy adult party cartoon" levels of bad is what im saying. To the films credit, there was actually a few semi-decent jokes here and there. Not a whole lot but there were a few moments that did get a slight chuckle out of me. The story was at least properly structured and they had real, genuine character arcs and goals, not that this is some shakespeare masterpiece or anything, but at least its something. One of the weirder problems of this movie however is that the pacing is just way too slow. Its weird, because normally these kinds of movies are extremely hyperactive and all-over-the-place, but this one was such a drag. Every single scene in this movie just drags on for way longer than it needs to, it feels like it could have easily been edited down to 50 minutes, its like "ok yeah, i get it, can we please move on now?" also, i find it funny how the animators think they can show pairs of grapes front and center perfectly fine, but they cant show eggplants or tacos for some reason (using euphamisms so that IMDB doesnt reject my review, not actually talking about food if you didnt get the memo.) the majority of the comedy is just bland and lame. Its not as atrocious as i thought it would be, but its by no means actually "good"

Its a solid movie. It was a little underwhelming but they did good with it. The acting from all of the actors was all very good. The chemistry between the two main characters was definitely the best part of the movie for me, and they did a really good job of portraying simons mental state. It was pretty good for the first 2 acts, but the third act is kinda where it fell apart. Theres no reason why they couldnt have just gone to the police after what happened in eds house. I get it, theyre saying that the cops "wont believe him" but do you really think they wouldnt bat an eye after seeing the aftermath of what happened there? Not spoiling it but im just saying, they wouldnt have just shrugged off something like that. The ending was pretty underwhelming. There was no climax or anything, they just resolved the movie and that was it. It was decent, if they had just given the movie a better ending and gave the characters a real reason not to go to the police, it would be great. But its just... ehhh.
