Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
mccourtmicah This movie is fun to watch. The first one is my favorite movie for some reason. I feel like if this wasn't an Anchorman movie, I would enjoy it more. It has a lot more intense scenes. Like the fight scene in the first one was pretty simple and funny. This fight is funny, but they added that wolf and that ghost, and Brick had a gun from the future. This gives me a different feeling then the first one, which I enjoy, because it uses different jokes, unlike a lot of other sequels that use the same jokes. Brick was even dumber in this movie, which I thought was hilarious. This one focuses more on the characters, especially Brick. This movie is definitely worth watching.
merelyaninnuendo Anchorman 2: The Legend ContinuesThey are back with a bang but this time with some better character inputs and brilliant semi-plots that sticks together till the end on this new ridiculously funny chapter
Presley Otis Was very reluctant when it came to watching this as I had seen the horrible rating. I actually saw Anchor Man 2 directly after the first film, so I was able to see a clear difference.**SPOILER-FREE SECTION**BAD: - Acting feels forced. Ron Burgundy isn't the same anymore. Seems to swear a lot more and scream for no reason. Brick is annoying. - Random scenes and useless bits thrown into a film that could have had potential. Storyline doesn't make any kind of sense and you'll see the characters as stupid instead of at least reasonable. You'll literally think everyone is a less retarded version of Brick. No interesting quotes but very boring jokes. Repetition of jokes from the first film. But the same jokes get repeated over and over and over and over again..GOOD: - The initial GNN story is actually interesting. - You'll give light chuckles sometimes. - Burgundy's hair is classy.*SPOILERS - SECTION BELOW*BAD: The whole film seemed stupid. The sex Scene - was again lifted from the film. I wanted variety man :( The use of the black family - irrelevant The Shark - irrelevant The short part where he is blind and all of a sudden can see again - Just stupid. Like how did that contribute to anything. The Fight Scene - This was literally lifted from the first film. And for some reason Brick kills everyone by lighting a firecracker and throwing it onto the gasoline where EVERYONE WAS PLACED ON but in the end no one died. So what was the point of Jack even stopping the fight? The Fight Scene (again) - Just because Jack was stopped by Channel 9 News, it doesn't mean that all the other anchors would stop fighting. The Fight Scene (again) - Why would the Ex- Lover of his wife save his life? GOOD: - His son is a pretty cool guy. For some reason can never look Ron in the eyes though. - Ron's hair is classy. Like always.
Python Hyena Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013): Dir: Adam McKay / Cast: Will Ferrell, David Koechner, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Christina Applegate: Every bit as exciting and hilarious as the first film. This one regards the legacy of anchorman Ron Burgundy who descends into the 1980's. In the film's opening his co-anchor / wife Veronica is promoted and he is fired. This wrecks his marriage and separates him from his son and friends. After many fails stints at attaining his celebrity status he is given an opportunity to regain his legacy but it will be the graveyard shift at a rival station. He recruits his team and arrive only to be met with the snobbery of its lead anchor. Director Adam McKay and star Will Ferrell answered the original film's emerging popularity with a sequel with every bit as much hilarity without xeroxing too much from the original. As Ron Burgundy Will Ferrell goes through an accident that causes blindness. He also adopts a shark that he bottle feeds. David Koechner as sportscaster Champ is first seen in a chain of fried bat restaurants. Paul Rudd as Fantana is first seen doing a series of kitten photography shoots. Steve Carell as Brick goes through a big transition when he falls in love with a woman with an IQ as low as his. Christina Applegate plays Burgundy's wife who received the promotion that he didn't. While the film is visually creative its biggest asset is its numerous amusing celebrity cameos. Easily one of the best sequels one could ask for with a grand cruise control joke that reminds viewers that the legend will continue onward as long as absurdity exits. Score: 10 / 10
