I didn’t think it was as good as the first, mostly because it didn’t dedicate enough time to those themes or its villains. It’s the same runtime but has more characters and way more action/chase scenes. Something has to give, unfortunately. Having said that, it’s an animated family film so I don’t particularly care if it’s a bit light on story. The action/chase stuff was at least as funny and creative as the first film, and there was way more of it. That’s definitely more than enough reason to go see the film.
