Too much of everything

So much average

Pretty Good

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Very similarly to part 1 ''Ted 2'' is nothing more than a bunch of sex jokes and pop culture references mixed together. Not that it is horrible, it's just quite boring to be frank with certain exceptions of the occasional funny one-liners.A very easy to watch film, that definitely shouldn't be taken seriously as knowing the premise itself is already more than enough to determine where the story is heading. Have to give ''Ted 2'' some credit for having a couple of clever pop culture references and its ability to make fun of the concept of the film itself. I loved how they directly made fun of Amanda Seyfried even though she was part of the main cast, a good addition to the already reference and gag based blend.Overall, just an easy to watch, light comedy about a ridiculous talking teddy bear just like the first one, it isn't any different and if you have seen the first part, don't expect anything new here.

Ted 2 was not as well received from critics and fans compared to Ted. This film is still quite funny with Seth MacFarlane's typical sense of humor using clever witty one-liners or cutaways with his typical musical dance screens which is often used. Although Ted 2 may not be as good as the original, since this film is a little more depressing and light hearted, the plot is still well and the overall film is very much enjoyable and entertaining. The cast along with the supporting character all work well, as this film does not feel as long as its runtime (a little under 1 hour 50 minutes excluding end credits). Overall Ted 2 is still quite funny with many clever jokes and the chemistry between Ted and Mark Wahlberg's character is what makes the film good.

Now, I will admit that I enjoyed the absurdity of the first movie and found the first movie to be very funny and enjoyable. So of course I was expecting at least the same level from the sequel.But it went as most sequel do, the wrong way. "Ted 2" turned out to be nothing more than a mediocre attempt to cash in on the success of the first movie. It was lacking all the comedy and funny situations as were present in the first movie. It was a bad decision to opt for a more serious approach for the sequel, because it just didn't pan out and it failed to work in any way.It just got tiring to watch Ted and his girlfriend trying to fight for their right to have a baby, and it just sidetracked the movie entirely. It took a heavy toll on the comedy that could have been there, and they had a lot of chances to go for something hilarious."Ted 2" suffered from having a what seemed to be hastily written storyline which was under duress from a deadline. And whatever comedy was written into the movie, just was way under the standards set in the first movie. The dialogue, satire and jokes in part two were not even half as in-your-face as in the first movie.And it didn't really help much that it seemed like Mark Wahlberg sort of didn't want to be present for the filming of the movie. His commitment and enthusiasm from the first movie was nowhere to be seen in this sequel.Sure there were a couple of laughs here and there, but "Ted 2" was nowhere near its predecessor in any way. And while you can return to watch the "Ted" movie again and again, that proves not to be the case with the sequel. This is a watch once and let it fade into sweet oblivion situation.The only thing that had me amused and entertained was the entire scene taking place at the convention. That was actually the high point of the entire movie.It has been seen, and I can check it off the to-watch-list, and I can't claim to be impressed in any way by "Ted 2".

Ted 2 is a funny, cash cow with loads of cameo's, Americana, pot, and filth. But somehow the jokes aren't as forced, nor as political or religious as the original, and the story is actually a little better as well. Mark and Ted have better chemistry the second time around, and amanda is a nice addition too. I don't know if the jokes are THAT much better, but the performances are an improvement. If a bear can act, he IS a person. I have to admit - I kept putting this off because I really didn't care for the original. I just didn't feel a connection between John(Wahlberg), and his re-animated Teddy. Night and day here. This, while no Godfather 2 or Empire, rises into the rarefied air of sequels that were better than the original. Filth aside, the sequel just works better than the original in nearly every conceivable way. If the scores don't reflect that -then strike that up as the trend and not the reality.I thought i was off the talking, stuffed-animal movie-boat, but I guess I'm back-on now. I won't be as hesitant if we're graced with a third film. My opinion(sure this wont help the 'helpful' reviews):Ted - 40/100 Ted 2 - 57/100Hope it helps. Search your soul - you know it to be true.
