7/10
Good themes such as teamwork but second half lacks originality

I enjoyed this sequel. It has some funny moments. I like the fact that teamwork was emphasized, as well as learning from each other's culture--Mrs. Betterman benefitting from cuddling with the pack while sleeping, Betterman daughter taking risks and having an adventure outside the wall, and the Croods benefitting from the Bettermans's technology, hygiene, etc.

I guess the only critique I have is the second half. Lacks originality. The giant King Kong-esque villain has to be fed, else he will wreak havoc. This is the main storyline of How To Train Your Dragon Part 1.

However, there are some original themes I've never seen before, such the punch-monkeys, as they communicate by punching each other's faces. That's pretty funny.

Overall, good film for the family.
