I used to play this game a few years ago when it was hot and whatnot, but I sucked, so I gave it up. But of course, I had to see the film because of that.
Red (Sudeikis) hates life. He hates the other birds, but at the same time he tries to stay calm. After ruining a birthday party, he is subjected to anger management and of course, he hates it. While in anger management, a ship comes to Bird Island and out comes two pigs, Leonard and Ross. The birds try to be friendly with the pigs, but once the pigs start stealing their eggs, it's time for the birds to get angry.
The animation is great technical wise, but the plot is not amazing. It does coordinate well with the game though; in the sense that the birds shoot themselves to destroy the pigs and their buildings.
Also I liked the variety of characters that they had along with their personalities. It kept the story interesting with how all the birds get along. Also interesting is that there are different types of birds and not just the same one, but a different color. For example, Chuck (Gad) is a woodpecker while Red is, I'm guessing, a red robin.
It's good for a children's movie, but otherwise not really Oscar worthy. Great to rent if you want something to watch without too much concentration and a couple of laughs. 3 popcorns.
