Thoughts on the Second Movie, Spoliers if you haven't seen it, be warned! Options

[Abby]

I didn't really see a topic that was just discussing the second movie alone, so I thought I'd make one since I just finished watching it. I actually really liked it. There were parts that I genuinely laughed at or thought were cute, so that is always a good sign (especially since most movies made for a younger audience don't get that kind of reaction out of me anymore). There are a few things I just have a gripe about though:

1. Where is Sky's mother?
2. Poor Kiko, he never was given the attention after the first like 10 min of the film.
3. So are sky and bloom officially engaged at the end or what? I was expecting them to have the marriage at the end of the movie.

I also thought that it seemed to reference a lot of other "popular" movies in certain scenes. The one that sticks out in my mind the most is the fact they were on an old style ship and Bloom and Sky were fighting back to back and took a moment to kiss, exactly like Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

Anyone else see the movie and want to discuss it or have some thoughts on it?
