"Antboy: Revenge of Red Fury" is the second part of the Antboy series and deals Antboy, who has to face a disappointed fan turned evil, while fighting for the love and attention of his chosen girl. Meanwhile old enemies see their chance for a pay-back.
As you can maybe already tell from the few sentences above, the plot is rather complicated, being built up from several topics that get woven together rather unsatisfying at times. Still the story-line remains easy to follow and delivers enough entertainment to prevent any boredom. Like in many adult superhero movies, Antboy has to face more than just one opponent and like there I don't really like it because it keeps you from focusing on one solid story. Also generally I think that the producers had in mind those kind of movies during the filming which is in most scenes a benefit, making the sequences appear less childish. Some of the logic behind the events is a bit drastic, for example Marias reaction to everything that happens but you should also keep in mind that this movie aims at children as audiences mainly and thus lays less focus on realism or unpredictability.
All in all I had my fun but would have hoped for the producers to stay away from more of the rather unsubtle stereotypes that prevent the establishment of more diverse and complex characters. Otherwise there's not much more left to say than that a vegan probably stole the director's girl given his excessive hatred towards them.
