Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

The first Anchorman was wackier in my opinion. In the second instalment, the true crazy ride only starts at the ending. Until then, it is kind of bland. The ending, however, spices it up by delivering the greatest anchorman battle I’ve ever seen in a movie. (12/01/2015)

Compared to the first part, this was a bit of a decline, because this time it was... well, in places almost annoying, there was too much screaming, and several times more awkwardly funny than hilariously awkward. Will Ferrell was nevertheless fine, though again a 100 per cent idiot, and I was also reliably entertained by Steve Carell, this time in a cutely belated romance with Kristen Wiig (who could resist?). The final battle was seriously something from The Avengers, and if the shorter version I saw also contained the cut scene with a shark cub and a grown-up shark (look it up on YouTube), I'd give it a fourth star.

It definitely didn't grab me as much as the first film did, but there are still parts here that are great. Some of the actors have aged a bit, but others are excellent. The best part is undoubtedly the scene at the end, where the true comedic elite comes together. It’s an awesome scene and what I had been waiting for the whole movie. However, the film is unnecessarily long and sometimes so schematic that it didn't entertain me much. (24/04/2014)

Fun movie. Since I had no expectations, I'm pleasantly surprised. Decent actors, solid dialogues and even though the pace slows down in the second half, in terms of jokes and wisecracks, the surprising ending makes up for everything. 70% (25/04/2014)
