Honestly, this was a film made for kids and kids alone, not that parents can't enjoy the film, but the way it was structured, to the animation, to the humor seems like it was designed to appeal strictly to kids. And there's nothing wrong with that at all, of course, but that's just what it felt like. Of course, I'm not trying to suggest, that even on its own merits, that it's a great movie and, realistically speaking, this feels more like a TV movie for Nickelodeon than anything else. Of course, it doesn't even come close to some of Pixar's or Dreamworks' best, but it's fast-paced and it's got so much shtick that a lot of them ended up hitting while also having a lot of misses, so, yes, I ended up enjoying this. And, yes, you saw that rating right, I actually enjoyed this movie. So it's understandable that the movie took a while to come out. But I do realize that films are difficult to make and there's negotiations, the writing and revising of the script, pre-production, the actual production, post-production etc, etc, etc. If this movie came out in 2013-14, it would've been even more successful, because the app was still at its peak of success. I will say, however, that the movie is a couple of years too late in terms of cashing in on the massive success of the game. The app literally has no story, so the film could really be just about anything, so it actually made perfect sense in that you didn't have a pre-established universe that you could do very little with like in other game franchises, like Doom, Halo or Mass Effect. A lot of people wondered why you'd make a movie based on a smartphone/tablet app, but it really made perfect sense. Maybe saying that's the wrong term to use, since it was still popular, but it was on the downward slope of its popularity. And this was at the time when the game's popularity was already past its peak. I played it for that period of time and I erased it and I've never played it again. I remember going through a phase like two years ago where I got hooked on the game for, say, 2 weeks. That's how popular the game was at its peak.

I think that 85% of people who have ever owned a smartphone and tablet, at one point or another, has played Angry Birds.
