To me, this movie is perfection.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A total must watch!!!!! Perfect, easy, really funny !!!!

For the comedy side there is this one laughing out loud racist gag plus 2 or 3 smiles- and that's it. As for the satire, the movie shows in a pill the (not historically correct) degradation of news programs. And this could be the whole review, because such a "comedy" only deserves such a short "review"Unfortunately there is this Steve Carell secondary character- not only totally not funny, but simply extremely annoying. And to make it even worst, they gave him a female counterpart in a form of also not funny and annoying love interest, portrayed by Kristen WiigAnd that wraps up the reviewNo, wait: there is also this idiotic long action scene near the end, with multiple cameos, that is suited for the mentally impaled grownups or for children with a sense of taste to be yet developed. And that scene is also rather boring; just like the whole movie

Don't get me wrong, I loved the original and this was one of my most anticipated movies of the year. I have been waiting for an Anchorman sequel for years, however this is not the movie I was waiting for. The best thing about this movie is the commentary about how ridiculous the news has become, but if that is what I was looking for, I would just watch The Newsroom. I watch Anchorman for the comedy and the buffoonery of the Channel 4 news team. This movie is full of buffoonery but lacks the fresh comedy of the original. It seems as though they just examined everyone's favorite bits from the first movie and tried to rehash them just with different wording in a different setting, almost as if this movie was made by a fan who was trying way too hard to replicate what he loved about the original. This time around though the jokes just seemed formulaic and didn't work. This is one sequel that, it pains me to say, I can definitely live without.

99% of the jokes in this movie were either recycled from the first movie or just random amalgamations of words that had really no relation to each other or relevance to anything. Much as family guy can be criticized for just saying random things and calling them jokes, Anchorman 2 does the same, minus the humor. I love a dumb joke as much as the next person, but the thing is, you can't just string funny words together whenever you want and call it a comedy. Although it had a few good moments, as a whole this movie was very disappointing. Whereas the first movie had genuinely funny jokes and original ideas, the sequel suffered from a lack of creativity and a crippling dependence on the first movie's plot structure. I wouldn't recommend paying any money to see this film.
