The Croods: A New Age
Searching for a safer habitat, the prehistoric Crood family discovers an idyllic, walled-in paradise that meets all of its needs. Unfortunately, they must also learn to live with the Bettermans -- a family that's a couple of steps above the Croods on the evolutionary ladder. As tensions between the new neighbors start to rise, a new threat soon propels both clans on an epic adventure that forces them to embrace their differences, draw strength from one another, and survive together.

Very childish
The first one was a pretty interesting at times in that it was a rare film with prehistoric humans. Of course the whole universe is totally fictional. But in the first one you kinda felt like there were clear rules to everything. So it felt realistic to prehistoric humans to some degree. This one is largely focusing on gags. So if they need to make a joke they will just create some animal to make that joke with. It's basically a more childish version of The Flintstones. The storylines are more forced as they clearly feel like they don't need to focus too much on the world building and instead create gag after gag.
There are some interesting parts here like the Tomorrow World. It looks great and creates an interesting storyline. But very soon these human interactions are replaced by more animal gags and a ton of silly fight scenes. Keep in mind the humans can NEVER lose in this movie. In the first one you felt the danger in some parts. Here no matter how big or many the monsters are the fights are always one-sided. The humans only lose if the script writers planned some thematic lesson for the humans. The movie starts out fine and is fine for like 50 minutes. But the third act sucks quite bad. They create a totally new storyline with The Thunder Sisters. Just out of nowhere. And the emotional scenes are so in your face that it gets extremely cringe. A shame. I feel like some storylines here are actually pretty interesting. It's just that the movie jumps from place to place and has waaaay too many main characters. There are some better storylines that are just hurriedly tied up as there is no room to finish them properly. So if 2 characters need to forgive each other and move on we see this forgiveness in 30 seconds instead of being a slow clever development. I miss movies like Lions King that tried to create a proper fictional universe with clear rules where everyone could die or suffer. Here it's a gag-fest with everyone being overpowered. - michel16555 - 19 June 2022
Feminist wokefest
Another woke movie. Besides that very messy and confused movie. It drains all energy from you. You will feel exhausted after finishing this movie. The frase less is more comes into my mind but unknown by the makers of this movie.
Mayby they should have paid less attention to their men are bad woke message and just make a sensible movie.
