That was an excellent one.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I watched this off HBO GO over the weekend, having really enjoyed the original 2011 film. I must admit, I am a sucker for movies like this. The first film told the true story of that dolphin with the prosthetic tail (hence the play-on-words title- "Dolphin Tale"), named "Winter". This sequel tells the story of another dolphin at the hospital named "Hope". After Winter's elderly companion and surrogate mother, Panama, passes away, Winter's future is put in jeopardy, unless our heroes at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium team can find a new companion for her. The cast is great- no less than Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick, Jr., Kris Kristofferson, etc.. And I notice these movies were directed by Charles Martin Smith (who has a supporting role), who seems to have an affinity for wildlife films, having starred in the 1983 classic, "Never Cry Wolf", and directed another good companion piece outdoor film, "The Snow Walker". Well, if you're into these nature/wildlife wishy washy films dating back to movies like "Born Free", I'd say this is for you, otherwise, head to your local multi-plex and see "The Rock" fight an earthquake in "San Andreas"...LOL

Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble) is now famous as a part of the team at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium after the rescue of Winter. Hazel (Cozi Zuehlsdorff) is back along with her dad Dr. Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr.) who runs the hospital. Prof Miguel Arroyo (Carlos Gómez) invites Sawyer to 12 weeks on a sailing ship for a special guest student program. Winter is depressed after her surrogate mother dolphin Panama passes away. USDA regulations forbids keeping a dolphin alone. They have rescued a new dolphin named Mandy but Clay is reluctant to pair them together. Inspector George Hughes (Charles Martin Smith) gives him 30 days.I liked the charm of the first movie and I like that most of the actors return for this one. Although most of the adults with the exception of Harry Connick Jr. are push to the side. The two kids get most of the work. It is very sincere. Rufus the pelican continues to provide a bit of light comedy but this is mostly a downer. They suffer an lost early on and it wallows in it for most of the movie. I'm reluctant to give too many negatives because everybody seems so nice. It's definitely not as compelling as the original but it's nice to see everybody again.

Before I watched it, I thought that this was just another movie about animals....nothing special. But after watching it, I realized that this was a truly heart warming movie that reached deep down to your heart. Watching this movie makes you appreciate marine life and, especially the beauty of dolphins and their relationship with us humans. For me, the best scene of the entire movie is the ending where Hope & Winter starts to accept each other....and then following that, the real footage of Hope & Mandy. Coupled with Gavin DeGraw's song which really goes along with the scenes, the last part will make you shed tears.All in all, this is a great and inspiring family themed movie, portraying good values.

Its a story of hope and new beginnings. The first film tackles about life goes on even in hardest times and friends came to your life unexpectedly. This sequel manage to give a new arc of the story and focus on choices and friendship.Sawyer's story tells us that our life never stop in one side of it. Life goes on and we should try to explore it. There is a life other than in the box that were living. Don't be afraid to try new things because it will help us to grow to be a better person....and who doesn't inspired to swim with the dolphins and rescue animals after watching it? Because it inspired me a lot that we are all created equal and we need to show love to one another even we look different to each other.
