Alpha & Omega 2

source: Alpha & Omega 2

Only the final 2 minutes had anything to do with a "holiday theme". Animation quality was a lot worse than the original and the voice actors are different in this one too. The plot was ridiculous.

Bad movie. Didn't enjoy the first one much other than the fact that its easy to make fun of, and this film is no exception. The only upside is the fact that most of the characters don't sound drunk at times anymore. Besides that, the budget is even worse, and I don't recommend it unless you wanna make fun of something.

Yeah, I am not a fan of Alpha And Omega, but seeing as this is a Holiday movie, I had to watch this, and let me tell you, the sub-title is a lie. A horrible lie. The plot has nothing to do with the holidays. Not Christmas, and not the other holidays like Hanukkah. Instead, the story is about Kate and Humphrey having to save Runt, the youngest of their three pups, from a group of rogue alpha wolves that is led by King, a wolf who is denied leadership by Winston, Kate's father. That is basically it. There are no Christmas songs (or songs about other holidays), no Santa. Only a couple mentions of Christmas, and one scene I won't reveal. Also, the jokes are hit-or-miss, with some crude humor and violence, and the animation looks ugly. Not the kind of holiday movie I would recommend to kids (it gets two stars mainly because of the voice acting being good for replacements).

And so the many blend sequels of Alpha & Omega began. The ending looks like an Amiga Christmas demo. It's best to look at the Alpha & Omega sequels on Youtube with Bobsheaux that had a row of A&O rants.

This movie is for kids under 8. I enjoyed watching both the parts, but never liked them. I saw this movie because I was desperate for an animation movie so I had no other option but when I decided to watch. I can't say it was a very bad because it is specially made for children, but technically it was too bad, poor quality. Good 3D models, but bad texturing and colour tone. The story as well about a quest which is very very simple. So Recommended to skip it, only if you got have plenty of other choices to pick one rather than this one. ✰✰✰½/10

Made the decision, despite not caring much at all for the first 'Alpha and Omega', to see its follow-ups (yes there is a franchise) out of curiosity and as an enormous fan of animation, would see anything regardless of critical reception. Would see anything to do with Christmas too. Anybody who disliked the first film but wants to see the rest of the franchise to see whether it gets better or not will be shocked to find that 'Alpha and Omega: A Howl-iday Adventure' (the title alone is enough to make anyone dubious) is even worse. One of the worst sequels personally seen to me and proof that 'Alpha and Omega' didn't need a sequel let alone a franchise. Let's start with the animation. The animation wasn't the best in the first film but it had its decent moments. It however is 'Toy Story' compared to the animation quality here, which is not quite Video Brinquedo, Spark Plug Entertainment or 'Foodfight' bad but almost and on the same level as 'The Swan Princess' CGI films. Blocky character designs, almost creepy expressions, very flat colours, a complete lack of fluidity in movement and less than meticulously detailed backgrounds are reminiscent of computer animation and video games in their infancy, something that one does not expect at all for 2013 even for low budget when technology as much as it has. Can say no better for the music either. None of it fits with what's going on, stylistically it feels out of place and out of kilter, it's obtrusive and it's not even good music on its own. The writing is even worse, summing up in one word it's abominable. half-baked ideas and any parts that strive to be funny or poignant instead come across as eye-rollingly cheesy or cloying. Worse are the "funny" jokes and dialogue, which are not funny at all, one groans at some of the wordplay/puns and older audiences who are children at heart whenever seeing animation (like me, one is never too old to appreciate animation and it is not strictly oriented towards kids only) will question the appropriateness of some of it. Story-wise, there is not much of one at all. 'Howl-iday Adventure' is short but feels longer thanks to plodding pacing and thin plotting. There is very little Christmas spirit either, there is no heart or charm and it all feels very mean-spirited. The characters are never engaging, they are either bland or irritating and some of them are completely pointless. Voice acting is weak all round, the first 'Alpha and Omega' at least had Hayden Panettiere giving a pretty good account of herself and Dennis Hopper. There is nobody of that calibre here, some overdo it and some act as if they weren't even trying. Overall, a howlingly bad mess. If the rest of the franchise is like this, 'Alpha and Omega' has potential to be as over-milked as 'The Swan Princess' and 'The Land Before Time' franchises. 1/10 Bethany Cox

After falling in love with the first movie, I really wanted to see what the next one had in store for me. I was not disappointed much. Although it was not as good as the first, I still fell in love with the charming story, beautiful animation, and heartfelt voices. There is only one little problem, the underlining story was not really there. We do not get the holiday home is where the heart is idea that I feel they were trying to convey but instead a different idea. One that went more along the lines of no matter how small you are, you can help in a big way. The home idea gets lost in the middle of the story and I still don't understand what was going on with the wolf called Princess. She just disappears at a point and I never get what happens after. As much as I loved the animation and the story they were trying to place, it does fall apart. I got a bit surprised at that the difference that the personalities had, Humphrey being a lot more protective and Kate was a lot more military-ish and yet has a lot of Humphrey's fun characteristics. The pups are much more like their parents then the parents in fact. I guess that's normally true of any family though I would of liked to have a bit more of the parents keep their wild personalities. The pups designs are so cute that I couldn't help but coo at the look. The animation is pretty much the same in textures and the designs although the wolves fur is a bit shorter sadly. You would think since the show is about to fall that they would have longer coats instead. There was also times when the fur of one or two of the characters seemed to change color, turning a bit more white then it should have been or a area that was snowy wasn't in the next area. The voices were perfect bringing back the voice actors we loved and a few more. There isn't much more to say on that. Sadly, I cannot give this as high of a rating as the first and though I enjoyed it, the major flaws keep getting in the way. I still think it's a good watch, but just not enough to make it to the best list.

Not even Dragon ball Evolution made me register on this site to make a critic. But not even Dragon Ball Evolution had this forced history. I can pass that a movie doesn't have the best animation, I can't forgive that a Movie doesn't have the best soundtrack, or the best music ambientation. What I care more of is history and development of the history. Both things this history didn't had. A pack of only Alphas ¿? god why, even I know that an Alpha it's a social status and not a genetic heritage, an omega it's on the bottom of the social status and that's why there can't be an only Alpha Pack, because there is always a lower class and upper class. But well, in terminology of the movie Alphas are in charge of fighting, and Omegas in charge of fun, so I guess I can let this one go. But in the development of history was awful, it was like all scenes were cut. The Dialogues weren't even funny, less say coherent or deep. It was like all the characters weren't themselves in all the movie. Humphrey wasn't funny, Kate wasn't energetic, for the sake of the drama, even physical aptitudes were destroyer, Humphrey always howled good, and now he couldn't in order to give Garth some kind of protagonism. Let's be honest, the movie was awful, as a sequel, and a disappointment and boring thing as a single movie, as a movie it get a 3, as a sequel, it should have a negative vote -4 should be enough and I'm being merciful. The thing most disappoint me of this movie, was Princess. She was the only Character it made me look at this thing to the end, to only disappear and vanish from the movie, or any sequel of it. Yeah I look to AAO 3 to see her again and guess what ?. She could have a lot more of growth as a character, the same for her relationship with Runt, but again, cutted scenes, an entire season passed and in the end of such time skip, they were a lot more close. What happened in there ? We can have a lot of excuses for why this movie wasn't even a shadow of it prequel. But I didn't watch that movie to hear excuses so I don't care about any of them. 1 awful, and only because there is no lower vote.

OK, there is a lot to say about Alpha and Omega 2. It's a great movie but not the best sequel in terms of length. The actors and actresses, were amazing, sounding like the original. Even though the originals couldn't reprise their roles, they found actors and actresses who not only did a great job but continued their amazing work. The animation could be a little better but we got a sequel, so we should at least be happy about that. Kate Higgins, from what I heard, she has a great voice and fits the role of Kate, just like Hayden Panettiere was when she voiced Kate in the original. The only problem with the movie is length, it's too short and still did not expanded much of the story. As for the story line, there was still so much holes left out that weren't covered in the original. The plot holes include Garth's mother, where was she? Humphrey's parents? Where are they? So many questions were still left out. The story line for the movie was OK, but they should have expanded the story line of the first one, including the past of either Humphrey or Garth and show what happened to Humphrey's parents or Garth's mother. They could have still included the pups, but expanding the story line is a good move because it adds a new story on the character instead of just making a new movie. The music, I got to say is pretty OK, love how they are using the same score from the first one but these movies lack their own score, different scores add new themes to the movie. Did Twilight use the same score over and over, no... they used different scores in each movie. That's one of the only things this series needs, it needs their own score as well, love how the original is used but new music can help the movie in more ways than you will think. Like they could make a love theme for Kate and Humphrey or for Lilly and Garth. They could easily made a creepy score to when the rogue wolves came in, giving away to the fact that they are bad wolves. That was one of the best things that made the original a great movie was the score. It was so beautiful, it added emotions to the story. My only hope is that in the future, with the possibility of more sequels coming, that they create their own score for them and adding to the story. So overall, this movie was somewhat well done but still needs to fill in the plots holes from the first movie. This series can do that, all it needs is the story line to be expanded and focus on the back story of characters, so we can see what made and shaped these characters into what we see in the movie. It's also adds certain themes to movies like a character having a bad past can either add a sad theme to the story. I always loved the Alpha and Omega movies, and thought this series deserves a little more praise than it's been getting. The sequels are not bad movies, they just need a chance. There will be good movies and bad movies, but this movie is not one of the bad movies. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but at least give this movie a chance.
