Now that we're past its initial release, it feels like it's time to officially call it: The Angry Birds Movie 2 is officially the highest rated video game movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes. Early reviews had pegged it as such, but now that even more have rolled in, it seems like the adaptation of the mobile games where players fling birds at buildings full of pigs is here to stay with a 76% "Fresh" rating.

If you've been following this thrilling saga, that percentage marks a small drop from the 81% we previously reported earlier this month. Even so, it's still nearly 10 points above its closest competitor, Pokemon Detective Pikachu, which sits at 68%. Rotten Tomatoes has a whole list of 42 different video game movies, ranked worst to best, with 2005's Alone in the Dark at the bottom of the pile with exactly 1%.

Here's how Sony Pictures Animation describes The Angry Birds Movie 2 on its official website:

"The flightless angry birds and the scheming green piggies take their beef to the next level in The Angry Birds Movie 2! When a new threat emerges that puts both Bird and Pig Island in danger, Red (Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (Josh Gad), Bomb (Danny McBride), and Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage) recruit Chuck's sister Silver (Rachel Bloom) and team up with pigs Leonard (Bill Hader), his assistant Courtney (Awkwafina), and techpig Garry (Sterling K. Brown) to forge an unsteady truce and form an unlikely superteam to save their homes."
