A Chaotic Sequel! (5.9/10)
8 June 2019
The First Secret Life of Pets had been a Toy Story Movie...with pets and I'm not satisfied with that but how the story went like was fine and I actually wasn't disappointed. And this year, we have the sequel. Yeah, that's right, there're more new characters and also new bad guys coming. The sequel was a bit disappointing to me.

This time, Max started to be different. The original voice of Max changed to another actor and when I hear the different voice, I found it laughably bad for example: "Rooster: Are you afraid?

Max: No, No I'm Not!"

I could see the difference and it's negative. The other casts acted like pets as well: they did little talking, especially Kevin Hart, most of his screentime, he kept screaming like a bunny trying to be Captain Snowball. He went like: 'YAAAAAAAA!' but he still kept the humor we all wanted. When it got the vet scene, the other animals went like chaos, especially the hamster in the wheel and the grey cat with green eyes.

Moreover, many characters in here which were kinda main in the first movie and now they just switched roles like Gidget, she was one of the main characters in 2016 but in here, she played a minor role. She didn't even have that much screentime and all she did was just being a catdog. Let's talk about Indiana Jones playing the Rooster. Ford did good at that role but the problem is that he also didn't have enough screentime and there's one scene that I felt they had to make the dog say goodbye to Max and Duke before they leave the farm. That scene was carelessly handled. Duke was also the ones who switched role to minor and so was Pops. He taught young dogs how to be...dogs. These characters switched their roles in a horrible way and I was disappointed. The villains here didn't have enough screentime either.

We had the first movie to be like Toy Story and now The Secret Life of Pets 2 looked like Toy Story 2 with an adventure outside their owner's house and Stinky Pete looked like the Circus guy which was a bad guy. Most of the scenes are literally boring and they had a slight piece of entertainment in here. Most of the scenes here had the kinds of rap or pop music which didn't match them, not even a sound just like the first trailer, they had this "Walk it Out" song which I felt really annoyed and I thought the first trailer was horrible. They also had this bad idea to turn Katie and her husband's child named Liam to be a dog. He wanted to dig, to pee and various things Max and Duke could do.

I really think these people could do better than just switching roles without knowing the result, screaming all the time. If I was in this movie, I would say "If y'all want to get Crazy, we can get Crazy!". Everyone's acting like chaos is in New York and the humans did not know it (well some did). This is also one of the disappointing sequels I saw this year.
