I have just (ok a month ago) given my 10th exams, and thus have a 3 month holiday to kill. As a fact, I’m fond of animated movies (as long as they r not cheesy and distasteful and have horrible animation). And so here’s my review of Ice age 2:
Definitely a movie for all ages. The mammoth (Manny), saber tooth tiger (Diago) and Sid (I’m not sure what he is) are back again. This time there’s no cute baby to save, but rather their own lives. The ice is melting and their home is in the danger of being flooded. So the inhabitants are forced to embark on a journey to reach the boat whish would take them out of there.
This movie definitely shows a wider range of emotions than the previous one. Manny is battling the thought of being the last mammoth alive. Diago is scared of water and this poses a serious problem as the ice is melting fast and the animals might be forced to travel in water anytime. Sid is trying hard to be useful and to be taken seriously. Adding to their mounting problems is the fear of the lurking enemy.
“Ice age 2” has a wider range of characters than the first movie. The animation is top notch and comes to near reality.
This movie has some of the most hilarious moments possible. I guarantee you will be rolling in laugher by the time you are through with it. If Sid’s antics don’t get you all worked up, I’m sure the delightful lady mammoth (voiced by Queen Latifah) and her brothers, the possums definitely will. Not to mention the delightful squirrel, whose quest to find and secure the nut will leave you in hysterics. The 2 possums and thier over the top frolics are worth watching.
For those ppl who have seen the first part, this movie will live up to their expectations and for those first timers; you can expect no less than the best movie possible. So from my side, this movie deserves all the appreciation one can muster.
