Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
(2013)

First half fairly good, second half barely watchable.
The first half of the film was OK, there were some really good new jokes but I don't think it was as well thought out or as fresh as any other Will Farrel film. Some of the ideas were clearly ripped off other Will Farrel films but in a more diluted, less full on way which made it less funny.

For example the part where he gets fired and has to work in an dolphin show for kids and gets drunk is just like Blades Of Glory when he gets fired and has to work in a kids show on ice and gets drunk.

The second half wasn't worth watching, Brick was involved wayyyy to much in the film, they tried to get a deeper storyline with Brick by giving him a girlfriend who is just like him which had to be the most annoying stupid idea ever.

In the first movie brick was just used to shout out one line,For example "I like Ron" or "I love lamp" or "LOUD NOISESSSS". in a few scenes spread out nicely through the entire movie.

BUT in this movie though they drag the Brick jokes out in a torturous way and do it over and over.

The only part in the second half which I laughed at were some of the shark scenes, every other part was either crap or basically copied from the first anchorman film but more crap, the fight scene, Baxtor saving the day again.

It gets a 7 out of 10 only because the first half was funny. If I was to give the second half of the film its own review it would get a 3 out of 10.
