Surf's Up 2: WaveMania

With the exception of Jon Heder and Diedrich Bader reprising their roles, this movie was a complete letdown. Story was contrived, writing was low-grade, the whole ESPN-style format comes and goes without context, and half the voices are cheesy wrestlers with zero acting chops. I loved the first one. I hated this one.

Had to turn it off after 10 minutes, this movie destroys the legacy of Surf's Up.

Voice actor performances, dialogue, animation, even Chicken Joe... every part of this movie seems like a downgrade from the original.

That sequel is a real disappointment and a disgrace to the original Surf's Up movie (2007) this movie goes against the first movie was and even adding Wwe fighters was a great idea of course not, none of the original cast return except for Jon Heder who was the only who came back for this sequel that no one asked for, it is unnecessary and pointless,there are some disgusting scenes like for example the fish milk scene which was completely disgusting and terrible it would be better if it was a special of an unnaired episode and nothing else. I would rather stick with the original movie and send this sequel to the trash can.

Since Cody Maverick saved his friend Chicken Joe from bully Tank Evans, Chicken Joe has become a celebrated champion. Meanwhile, Cody has been mostly forgotten. He's running a kids' surf school with Lani Aliikai. Tank is still a bully. Chicken Joe is back visiting his friends. Cody is shocked when his heroes surfing legends Hang 5 shows up. They have a map to a mythical surfing spot and take the group on a quest.

This straight to video sequel has a bunch of WWE people providing the voices along with a few from the original. It is perfectly fine for what it is. I don't know why Cody stopped surfing the pro unless I've forgotten something about the original. It seems odd. The basic quest is basic. The new characters are basic. There isn't much special. When they come upon the lava, I expected them to surf it. That would be kinda cool and they're surfers after all. This is all very basic and nothing special.

As a huge fan of the first movie, this was the worst sequel I have ever seen. Main characters from the last movie weren't even there and the storyline was completely changed. The WWE character idea doesn't have anything to do with surfing. If it was just a movie on its own, unrelated to Surf's Up... ok, maybe? But do NOT call this Surf's Up. Plus, there was no actual surfing in it. The original movie didn't leave us needing another movie to finish the story because the story was already done. If you're a huge fan like me and needed to see Surf's Up 2, don't get your hopes up.
