Marco 2

Marco 2 is an 2013 3D Marcanese-American computer animated action spy comedy buddy film produced by Actors 3D Entertainment and Anaya Animation for Columbia Pictures. The film was directed by Chris Melendari, and produced by Phil Lord & Christopher Miiler (whom directed the first film). Marco 2 was released to theaters November 8, 2013 and received positive reviews from critics, despite being deemed as inferior to its predecessor. It was a huge box office hit, becoming the highest-grossing Marcanese animated film of 2013.

Why It's Great

 * Like its predecessor, it has beyond-amazing animation & visuals that still looks photo-realistic.
 * The original characters are still lovable. Some of the new characters are likeable, too (most notably Allen and Jacob)
 * Excellent voice acting, just like the previous film. The newcomers also do a very great job as their respective characters.
 * Hilarious, goofy yet charming humor, especially the tomato fight scene.
 * Great action scenes throughout the film, despite it all taking place at a museum
 * Although not as much as its predecessor, it still has plenty of emotionally heartwarming moments.
 * This film also has good life lessons like getting support from family & friends, choosing your friends wisely, and being true to yourself.
 * Awesome soundtrack, most notably Pharrell Williams "Happy" and "Walkin' At The Museum"
 * Well done script that's also entertaining like its predecessor, despite some flaws.
 * The comic reliefs are still funny. Abel is probably another good addition, too.
 * Owen is yet another intimidating (if, terrifying) villain that's probably even more than Alondra.
 * The character designs are still nice to look at.
 * The film does a fantastic job at parodying other works such as Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, among others.

Bad Qualities

 * The plot is kind of contrived and is weaker than the previous film. Marco gets kidnapped only for him to save a diamond from someone who wants to use it for world domination.
 * The rest of the new characters are kind of unlikable and serve no purpose other than insisting Marco on taking care of the diamond.
 * This is considered by many as the weakest film in the Marco franchise. They even called it a "semi-cashgrab"
