Sadly Over-hyped

People are voting emotionally.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I really liked the aspect of quite little gender-normative behavior while trying to deal with overcompensation by not accepting help, a usual outcome of female people being oppressed in patriarchal society. Still she is not a damsel in distress. She is standing her ground and is a brilliant team-leader once she understands to work in a team. I love that she is fighting back with brains and muscles, being attacked by a male and a female villain. Also important to mention: we are dealing with the bullshit of the concept of good and evil people. That red riding hood is getting supported by a male wolf ( traditionally symbolizing elder, pedophile men in fairy-tales) is a bit problematic. "Red riding hood"-Stories are kind of done and not really a challenge to do over and over again.Still: Nice for chilled movie-nights.

Hoodwinked 1 was a pretty interesting film with hilarious twist,acting,solid writing and a great story. Now that I have heard about this sequel,I got a bunch of crap to say about this.First of all: characters Red is the same character Granny is the damsel in distress Wolf has some character development...sort of Twitchy(who was very funny in the 1st movie film),now talks regular Hansen & Gretel Are Terrible Villains Versuka The Witch Is Just that Villain Turned Good Guy And Kirk...WHAT THE HELL Happened TO HIM. HE ACTS LIKE A HOMOSEXUALThe plot feels as if it was a spy adventure comedy,however it,makes,no sense and there is a a few plot holes from then and there.The animation did improve a bit,but there are a few uncanny valley scenes And the lip sinking is terrible at timesThe voices are okay,but without Anne Hathaway &,Jim Belsuhi,its not the same. Hayden Paneteire Makes A Good Red but Martin Short Makes A Gay Impression Of Homosexual Stereotype. (No offense)As much as it wants to offer, "Hoodwinked Too: Hood Vs. Evil" Is one of those sequels that doesn't improve upon the first with a plot that feels tiring,animation that looks okay but doesn't look as good at times,characters trapped in madness and voices that are not the same. After I watched this recently,its not as good as I remembered the 1st time.-D.Hidden Howard

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. EvilThe worst thing about a secret agency comprised of fairy tale archetypes is that every mission you send them on has to have a moral to it.And while there is a dearth of lessons to be had in this animated-comedy, there is a profusion of parable players.When Granny (Glenn Close) is kidnapped, while on a mission to rescue two missing children, Hansel (Bill Hader) and Gretel (Amy Poehler), her granddaughter Red (Hayden Panettiere), a member of the Happily Forever After Agency, and her partner, The Big Bad Wolf (Patrick Warburton), are assigned to the case. Meanwhile, an all-powerful truffle recipe has been stolen from the Sisters of the Hood and has fallen into the wrong hands.A sequel to Hoodwinked, Hood vs. Evil is more of the same folklore-inspired jokes, tinged with modern references, told through crude animation.Besides, when a senior disappears, it's usually attributed to dementia.

Red Riding Hood is training in the group of Sister Hoods, when she and the Wolf are called to examine the sudden mysterious disappearance of Hansel and Gretel.While the film has a great cast, it is so light on quality, it could have been a television episode -- this is not feature film quality. A few good jokes here or there, but a weak story and just nothing that really grabbed my attention.It seems the game these days is to make terrible sequels. "Shrek 4" was a letdown, "Open Range 3" was just average... this one, though, sets a new low bar in effort. Nobody involved gave a hoot about it (except maybe the voice talent, and they must have been in a very good contract, because I do not know why they would want to be in this after reading the script).
