"Loses the humour"
2 stars"

The original Ice Age was good. This was not in my opinion. That squirrel thing is still brilliant as ever but the overall story and humour was lacking. This sequel felt a little forced and in that it feels much more like a kid film than a family film. If you wish to enjoy this movie with your children, you won't. The first one was much better in its story and humour and adults could actually ‘laugh’ (like Toy Story). This one is definitely not worth a watch and aimed strictly at kids. Didn't enjoy it sorry.

This sequel may not be as funny as the first, but it is just as good. You and your children will love it. It leans more towards the adventure side, but with plenty of humor sprinkled through it. Good to see Sid the Sloth finally get some well deserved recognition. Of course the Acorn side act, is still as cleverly conceived and executed as ever, if not even a bit better than before. A must have for the family collection.

Description

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown

Manny, the woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano) Sid, the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego, the sabre-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) – the sub zero heroes from the 2002 hit, Ice Age – return for another incredible adventure in Ice Age 2: The Meltdown.

The Ice Age is coming to an end, and the animals are delighting in their new world: a melting paradise of water parks, geysers and tar pits. But when Manny, Sid and Diego discover that the miles of melted ice will flood their valley, they must warn everyone and somehow figure out a way to escape the coming deluge.

Critic Reviews:

  • " In its untouched-by-human-hand way, it's not bad and, as in the first film, the funniest moments involve the half-rat, half-squirrel Scrat. " – Philip French
  • " Watching this zoo of long-vanished quadrupeds, you're left with an eerie message for our own warming times: They fought the thaw, and the thaw won. " – Jim Ridley
  • " As with the first “Ice Age” movie it is Scrat the acorn-obsessed rodent who bookends the movie and steals the most laughs with his hilarious attempts at obtaining an ever-elusive acorn. " – Cole Smithey
