Ice Age 2 - Movie Review

ICE AGE 2 - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

The graphics are obviously better than Ice Age 1. The usual band of characters have been augmented with Seann William Scott - Crash (voice), Josh Peck - Eddie (voice), Queen Latifah - Ellie (voice). They play two possums and a female wooly mammoth, who thinks that she is a possum. However, it is the character with no voice - the squirrel and his acorn, who steal the thunder. His antics have the audience rolling around on the floor. Manny the sloth comes in second in the comedy category.

It seems like the makers fell into the trap of the sequel and just relied on the success of the prequel to carry the sequel. There is not much of a story to speak of. Much of the middle of the movie is just held up by music!

Definitely a must see and a must own with the first Ice Age.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 7.

SHE SAID:

It is movies like these that make even people like me, who hate animated movies, sit up and enjoy them. Unbelievable story and the squirrel is priceless. Queen Latifah, who I am an immense fan of, is hilarious as the mammoth who thinks she is a possum.

If you have kids, do not miss this one.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 9.
