20 Most Surprising Rotten Tomatoes Scores Of 2019

4. The Angry Birds Movie 2 (73%)

The Angry Birds Movie 2 landing a 73% Tomatometer is surprising for two reasons: firstly, it's a major step up from the first film's mere 44%, and it also makes it the best-reviewed video game movie of all time. Yup.

Though Detective Pikachu has far more reviews and also a higher average score of 6.0 - compared to this film's 5.7 - The Angry Birds Movie 2 has the higher overall critical approval rating, making it the current video game film to beat.

Above all else, it's simply surprising to see video game adaptations ending up critically fresh at all, and while gamers are still left waiting for the first truly great video game movie, this is certainly an encouraging and unexpected step in the right direction.
