Whenever a highly successful game or a novel is loved by a vast majority of the people, you can be rest assured that Hollywood will be very close at the heels of the creators to procure and secure the rights of the best-seller. So, when the swash buckling game "The Angry Birds" was well-received by the public in 2009, it was as clear as daylight that the popular game would be made into a film in a matter of time. Yes. It happened after 7 long years!
By the fag end of the movie, I was actually surprised that "The Angry Birds" had a tolerable storyline when it could have been a raging disaster! Our hero, Red is forced by the head to attend the Anger Management course to temper his temper so that he is not a bad influence to his fellow people, sorry birds! Yeah. I know it's a terrible yet laughter invoking joke. But, we have a lot of such jokes spread throughout the film in clusters like Red says "I am not blushing. I am simply red" or the famed Mighty Eagle tells the group "I see all and know all. What are your names?". Keeping aside the exasperating yet hilarious puns, The Angry Birds strikes unadulterated gold in its rich visuals. Be it the birds territory or the pigs kingdom, it was indeed a pleasing treat for the eyes in this slingshot of avian revenge against the oinkers for stealing their beloved eggs.
This was probably the maximum best one could expect from a game app that was an instant roaring rage especially amongst the kids. The Angry Birds could have been a monstrous cash cow, no cash bird! had it been released immediately post the game's launch. In the end, just as the flightless birds flew to the Piggy island by flinging themselves from the catapult, time was also hurling past me quickly with lots of punny funs and lavish scenes.
