Why It's Great

 * 1) Amazing animation that's a slight upgrade from its predecessor; the fact that it also mixes different animation styles into one is actually splendid.
 * 2) The story for this film is very fantastic: Jake & Joseph accidentially get stuck on the Internet and call Jay & their videogame pals to rescue them, but later realize they have to make a truce with their rivals when the Black Actor wants to take over both worlds.
 * 3) The concept of the Internet being a city really works, and also considering that the visuals for Internet City look gorgeous. The idea of crossing over Actors 3D and Anaya Animation titles with other Sony properties is also marvelous.
 * 4) Very funny humor, the best ones probably being the prank war scene, when Bowser was crowned as "the king of memes" instead of Vault Boy, and the "Rickroll" scene. Jake still gives us plenty of laughs.
 * 5) The action scenes (especially the final battle) are very awesome to watch.
 * 6) Great soundtrack, most notably "Internet" and "Zero" by Imagine Dragons.
 * 7) Like the Marco films, the characters are still likable and the new characters are likable too: Min is a likable and sweet love interest for Joseph, Technohat & Tobi are very funny & make helpful friends, Garrett is a smart & cool addition (also a good role model for geeks), and Miranda is a nice love interest for Jake.
 * 8) Superb voice acting, like its predecessor; the newcomers also do a very fantastic job, especially Benedict Cumberbatch as the Black Actor.
 * 9) Unlike The Fuzzi Movie, the film doesn't use its product placement as advertisements just for the sake of advertising. Instead, they make Internet City's buildings, shops, etc. out of them in a unique way. Also, the film stays true to its concept and doesn't rehash its predecessor either.
 * 10) Sweet and heartwarming moments, such as the scenes with Melvin and Joseph & Min's relationship.
 * 11) Nice ending with touching moments; it also subverts the audiences' expectations as one can easily tell that the videogame villains lied and won't be friends with the heroes, but at the end they don't betray their truce.
 * 12) Great cinematography, especially that of Internet City.
 * 13) Nice Easter eggs from other Actors 3D and Anaya Animation films as well as great cameos of Crash Bandicoot, Vault Boy, Pyra & Mythra, Ratchet & Clank, Steve, the other Angry Birds, Rayman, Cuphead & Mugman, and several others. The film also has Sony cameos from James Bond, Spider-Man, Men In Black, Ghostbusters, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Smurfs, Hotel Transylvania, Charlie's Angels, Stuart Little, and Jumanji.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The film has a few obnoxious pop culture references like the "Baby Shark (Pinkfong version)" song and dabbing, both of which already became dead trends.
 * 2) The film has too much product placement compared to its predecessor (which only had a few) such as Google, Facebook, Coca-Cola, Samsung, etc. although it's nowhere near as obnoxious or blatant as the ones used in The Fuzzi Movie.
 * 3) The Black Actor is actually a weak villain compared to Adolf Hitler from the previous film.
