While not in the same league as any of the Pixar films, I thought the first Ice Age was enjoyable, and not surprisingly when a sequel was announced I found myself mildly looking forward to it. So now here come the early Ice Age 2 reviews.
The Ice Age 2 reviews don’t look AMAZING… but they are however mostly positive. Here is what some of the critics are saying in their Ice Age 2 reviews:
“Ice Age: The Meltdown blithely looks on the bright side of life, amassing a screen full of vultures to sing and dance ‘Food Glorious Food’ and daring us not to get happy.”
Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY“Whenever Scrat is on the screen, the movie consistently delights young and old.”
Steve Rhodes, INTERNET REVIEWS“Like its predecessor, it’s a moderately engaging family movie, but in the Pixar Age that’s not quite enough.”
Frank Swietek, ONE GUY’S OPINION“A bit spotty in the early goings, almost stalls in the middle, but from there takes off toward climax and never looks back. A lot of fun. John Leguizamo rocks. ”
Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
I’ll be seeing this one on Friday for sure right after I take in Slither. The last two years has seen some questionable 3D animated projects… and there are even more on the way… but it’s nice to see that Pixar isn’t the ONLY game in town.
As of this moment, Ice Age 2 is carrying a respectable (but not fantastic) 63% on Rotten Tomatoes. I expect it will win the opening weekend box office by a mile.
