Featured reviews
I thought it was good, maybe even pretty good. I liked the story, the visuals
are pretty amazing and so is the animation -of course-, and it has great voice acting too! But the two things I didn't
like was that the humor feels a bit weird and forced at times, and this also happens with the chemistry of the characters. But overrall, I think its a good movie and I recommend it
Enjoyed it but it's a typical Hollywood movie. It makes men look like incapable idiots who constantly screw up and never get anything right.
Jokes were great and funny for all ages. Animation and characters were good. Kids loved it,

Okay... this has got to be one of the most exhilarating and bubbly animated movie ever made. Thankfully I was just in the mood for something perky, not too childish but not too sober, so overall it was a positive experience.
They really weren't kidding about "a new age". The tale presumably takes place in early prehistoric times, but really it reflects way more on our contemporary society than it does to people living in the stone age. Expect tons and tons of hilarious references to modern culture and society sprinkled throughout the movie.
I definitely had my laughs. However, some ideas/references/analogies could come off as a bit forced or rushed or just plain cringey. For example, Thunk's abrupt realization that the "window" is a distorted view of reality was honestly a cringey attempt to convey the concept of media bias. There's also the much toned down but still palpable feminist agenda (e.g. WYMEN!). And then there are all these other random instances of modern analogies that just seem to develop out of nowhere (e.g. the 'bro love' scene with Grug and Phil, etc).
These instances may not detract from the movie, especially not for kids, but it still gives this movie a bitter aftertaste; you could tell that this movie was made in 2020.
Also lastly-and it has to do with the plot-I was quite disappointed that that Dawn Betterman didn't have much of a role compared to all the other characters. I feel like she could've used a bit more spotlight.
Overall I would have liked the movie even more if they didn't cram so much of these random and unnecessary tie-ins to modern ideas and principles. It just complicates a rather simple plot.

The story and dialogue is pretty cliched but the animation is amazing. Just a beautiful movie. I love all the hybrid animals, who would have thought a wolf spider could be so cute.
I don't remember anything about the first Croods movie, but I do recall it was funny. The same is true of this one. It's pretty funny for the first third, extremely funny and clever in the middle third, and pretty funny but exciting in the final third, so all-in-all it's very satisfying.

- TriviaNicolas Cage's 100th film acting credit.
- Goofs(at around 15 mins) Grug talks about how he hasn't seen a banana for years, since he was a 'cub' - this is in fact a pretty huge issue for him when he comes across bananas in this movie. However in the first movie, Guy hands Grug a banana (while wearing a bunch of bananas on his head) when they're getting to know each other better. Grug promptly throws the banana on the ground in anger before slipping on it.
