This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The Critic
Synopsis - Same crap as the first mutant birds attack city.Well they made a sequel and its just as bad, bad acting which is very painful, editing, sound, dialogue and so on. Its just like the first one but a touch better as in sound. Why would anyone make this rubbish? The scenes like the opening credits are like how long? The scenes where they are shooting the birds in the cinema and in a town are pitiful. You can tell they're missing the birds cos they're not there.Please spare us another one of these. The writer, director and whatever else he does needs to go back to film school or something. Hope he has a day job.Avoid with the plague a second time. They might get the message.

This is a movie that has some huge plot twists that will leave you thinking about it for months. This film will go down as the scariest film of all time. I didn't sleep for a year after viewing it and nearly died from my heart pounding out of my chest. This film also sent my life through many phases. For about a week, I was a bird, then I was a director, then I was an actor. I highly recommend this film to people over the age of 55.

A few years ago, director James Nguyen's infamous "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" swept popular culture. (Well, at least in some circles) An attempt to emulate films like Hitchcock's "The Birds" whilst delivering a contrived environmental message, "Birdemic" became an icon in the word of "so bad, it's good" entertainment. (You know, those films that are so dreadful, they become unintentionally entertaining and hilarious) With it's bizarrely poor direction, robotic acting, laughable production values and special effects, and an almost painful script, it was almost literally a perfect storm of awfulness. And yet it was so... so... funny!So when I heard that Nguyen was working on a follow-up, I became excited. I was hyped to see more of the trademark awfulness that has plagued all of Nguyen's work. But then I realized something: The first film had become iconic. And it was clear that James Nguyen understood it's appeal was related to how unintentionally goofy it was. I quickly understood that this follow up was likely going to be TRYING to be bad. It was going to make an intentional effort to be silly and of a poor quality. And that almost never works. You just usually can't re-catch that lightning-in-a-bottle if you're trying too hard with the follow-up.But I gave this film a chance. And I am happy to report that for the most part, despite it's self-referential nature and obvious self- awareness, this film still does more-or-less deliver the chuckles and belly-laughs that the first supplied. Albeit, not as often and not as heartily.We follow a group of four leads, primarily focusing on Bill (Thomas Favaloro), a Hollywood director trying to make his big comeback after his second film failed to live up to the heights of his first effort. With the financial help of Rod (Alan Bagh) and Nathalie (Whitney Moore), two returning characters from the original film, he is able to move forward with his dream project, "Sunset Dreams." He soon meets Gloria (Chelsea Turnbo), an attractive waitress and struggling actress, and is smitten with her. After casting her in the lead roll of his film and finally consummating a romantic relationship, Bill, Gloria, Rod and Whitney suddenly find themselves under the attack of a new Birdemic. But this time, it's different. The birds are actually ancient, pre- historic birds brought back to life by a toxic red rain (presumably caused by pollution)... And they aren't alone. The same rain has also managed to raise the dead, supplying zombies and other obstacles for our protagonists.This is honestly a hard film to analyze in many ways. I can't say for sure which of the performances are genuinely good or bad, due to the fact that the production is self-aware, and thus many of the actors are in on the joke this time. The same applies to the effects and writing- it's just too hard to say which scenes were done seriously, and which were done intentionally tongue-in-cheek. Whereas the first film was a clear effort to make a decent film that just backfired spectacularly, this one alternates between trying to be an honest sequel, and trying to be a piece of self-parody from scene to scene. (Although I do believe that more often than not, it's intentionally self-aware.)All I can say is that analyzing the performances and the various aspects of the production is a moot point here. Instead, I have to speak of this film in broader strokes.And in the broadest sense, I do think this sequel fundamentally works. Despite its self-awareness, which does rob a bit from the laughs, there is still an overabundant sense of incompetence that lends a lot of humor. And I have to be honest in admitting that there is a certain charm here in seeing the film make fun of itself and of its predecessor. The original was so joyously bad, that just re-visiting these characters and seeing them point out how silly they are... it just works for me. Though it never is able to reach the sheer brilliance of the first film, nor is it able to match the tremendous laughs it supplied... this sequel does do a decent, serviceable job of giving fans of the original more of what they want. It may not be perfect, but by god, this movie is TRYING. It wants to entertain fans. It wants you to love it. It wants audiences to laugh. And I admire that. Even when this film wasn't working, I was still grinning, because this... film... tries.And if you want me to be REALLY honest... After seeing this, I hope we will one day get a "Birdemic 3."I am giving "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" a pretty-good 7 out of 10 for its entertainment value. Grab a hanger for protection, pop it in with some friends, and get ready to chuckle!

Hey, kids! Guess what? Our favorite worst director is back! James "The Crazy Guy" Nguyen is back in town with the sequel of the most shockingly stupid film "Birdemic" called "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection". And guess what? This one is amazingly bad too and it's not far away from the first one. It's basically the same story all over again, but the birds appeared in kind of
different way
James Nguyen
probably the guy who suffers from some mental disease
he still thinks, even today
that he made a big hit film! More like
big hit failure. Please
don't finance him anymore, whenever you see Nguyen on the doorway of your studio, don't open
or run! I won't deny that I had a good time watching 'Birdemics' with my friends, but, it's time to stop this
OK, now let's dive into the film. Check out the names of the studios
"Chill" and "I got the fish movies"
oh
the good old names for movie studio
you know "The Devil's Testicle Movies", "Sugar Pimple Pictures" and so on
Again, you don't know
are you watching documentary or a porn? Or a documentary about making porn. There's nothing much to say, except that is pretty much same as the first film, we have some new characters and we a have a bunch of old ones from the first one. Alan Bagh (or as I like to call him, the actor of steel, because he gave us the most chilling and the most unemotional, inhuman performance, I still think that he is a robot! Programmed by Nguyen!) and Whitney Moore (the girl with the plastic performance, but here
she looked kind of like she didn't have a proper sleep for a few days
I think that she was bored, quite uninterested in her performance) are here! Yep, Rod and Nathalie are here, and
they obviously do not remember anything about the events from the first film
They didn't say anything, literally nothing about the first film. Like it never happened! What a hell?! The two new characters are Bill and Gloria. Bill is played by Thomas Favaloro, this guy's acting is like
well, he looks like a handsome, retarded tool. Acting is zero. Gloria is played by Chelsea Tumbo, acting is silly, her character (like all of them, actually) is dumb, she was just a dumb, beautiful mannequin. The first part of the movie, before the bird attack, the entire plot revolves mostly around them
so what about Rod and Nathalie? What is their purpose here? To compete? What!? We also have Dr. Johns, again on the bridge
explaining something about eagles in prehistoric times
I say 'something' because I couldn't hear him properly, because audio is freakin' low
the movie is like a video game, you need to set voice audio little higher
for f**k sake
The tree hugger is also here, and he found his mate, he looks even creepier here, with his Crispin Glover face
and still gives the same explanation about global warming
oh for f**k sake
again the environment message
because of this film
I just want to kill every bird in the world and cut all the trees
with fire and incendiary bombs! Nathalie's mother Nancy is also back, played by the same actress
and we didn't hear anything about her in the first film, after the bird attack, did she died, did she hide and survive, she come out of nowhere, without any explanation
I mean
characters in this film are living by some porn logic
only without fuc**ng
And the character of Bill Stone is also here (the guy who says "for a billion dollars in the first film") and plays a movie producer, by the same name, his character in the first film was a
director of the firm in which Rod worked, or something like that
and somehow
these characters
they are just magical! So unusual! So
dumb.So
the story is pretty much the same
Bill and Gloria are our new characters and they are getting to know each other better, they date, they enjoy, they have sex
blah blah, and after that
the birds attack. Always after sex. Which makes me wonder
Were Nathalie and Gloria virgins? Because after the sex scenes in the first and in this film
the birds attack
it somehow gives me this idea that they were virgins
and remember how in some old films, the leading virgin girl is not supposed to be hurt
but here
the birds waited for that intimate moment and they attacked. OK, but that is just a funny idea
forget what I said. Then we have an unexplained 'red rain', or maybe blood rain that somehow resurrect caveman and cave woman to do
nothing. Absolutely nothing. We also have zombies! Zombies! Yeah, why the f**k not?! Obviously, Nguyen is a fan of "Walking Dead"
well, being the most popular zombie drama at this moment. So, it's just the amazing ride through the film
Lord, have mercy
the budget was just incy wincy bigger than before, but it was poorly used again
poor audio, poor home camera, poor script
the CGI
oh, see the film if you want to know what I am talking about. My favorite scene is jumbo jellyfish scene
that girl
that was definitely a porn actress
her manners, oh, they were so porn like, I expected a good hardcore f**k on the beach.So, here you go
the movie is just unexplained, mental adventure, and I suggest you get high or drunk, or both before watching it. The only positive thing about this film and the first one
it can make you laugh. And remember, laughter is a very healthy thing.
