As the fourth instalment of Ice Age series, you can feel that the story has become tiresome.
With the story about continental drift (indicating global warming?), I hope this should mark the end of ice age (yes, I mean both the actual Ice Age and this movie series)
The problem is this: I don't really find the squirrel - Scrat, that funny anymore.
It is still cute as last time, but I somehow felt tired of watching it doing all the stuns/disasters.
Compared to Madagascar 3, it lacks some kind of elements that keeps you interested about the storyline.
Both talked about team work value, but in Ice Age 4, somehow I feel that they were doing their tasks separately (or maybe independently)
Both have villains - but in Ice Age 4, I thought to have a monkey as the captain of the pirate (ice) ship was not convincing at all.
Both have wishy-washy character (Madagascar 3 being the Vitaly the Russian tiger and for Ice Age 4 being the Shira, the sabre-tooth cat) that turnaround the outcome of the story - but I felt that Shira was wishy washy unconvincingly.
So end up, a movie that doesn't give you the 'wow' factor, but however, give you some occasion laugh - which is the main purpose of Ice Age series.
Rating: 5.5/10
