The Bad Guys 2

"The Bad Guys 2" takes fans on a wild ride through outer space, as the quirky gang of antiheroes find themselves in a cosmic adventure filled with heists, double-crosses, and a showdown against new foes. The sequel amps up the action and humor, blending elements of caper flicks with over-the-top antics that both entertain and baffle. While the animation is visually stunning and kinetic, the film struggles to find its footing as it navigates between embracing its morally ambiguous characters and pushing them into more heroic territory. With nods to various genres like Tarantino films and superhero movies, "The Bad Guys 2" attempts to elevate its franchise but ultimately falls short of making a lasting impact. Despite some missteps, including darker themes that may not sit well with younger viewers, the movie manages to deliver wholesome fun and mischievous charm that will appeal to those looking for a lighthearted animated escapade in space.Rating: One small step for animation, one giant leap for mediocrity - 2 stars out of 4
