Very well executed

The greatest movie ever made..!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The Ice Age series is one of the more endearing animated franchise from the past decade. The first was a heartwarming and genuinely funny adventure taking place during the time of mammoths, sabertooth tigers, and clumsy sloths. The first sequel lost a lot of that magic, but Dawn of the Dinosaurs did do some fresh things with the series. However, generally, over time, the films have gained plenty of characters, but lost most of its charm. The fourth in the series, Continental Drift, is the least exciting, least funny, and cheapest of the bunch. That's not to say that Ice Age 4 doesn't have its moments: the main characters still have their appeal and there are a few good laughs, but it is clear that the Ice Age train is running out of steam here.Continental Drift kicks off with the lovable rodent Scrat causing the continents to drift apart. The trio of Manny, Diego, and Sid are soon embarking on an adventure adrift on the open sea. They meet up with pirates (and a whole collection of new characters) and try to find their way home. The plots of the Ice Age films have gotten simpler as they go, instead relying on introducing as many new characters as possible.The problem with Ice Age 4 is that none of the new characters are memorable, funny, or charming. The effort just seems to be down here. Ray Romano, Dennis Leary, and John Leguizamo, still manage to breath some life into the picture, but the passion is clearly not there like it was in 2002. The animation is also less-than-stellar. Ice Age Continental Drift could be a TV movie and I wouldn't know the difference. It's just cheap.There are some moments of wit and excitement in Ice Age 4, but on the whole, it is an exercise in diminishing returns. Most of the passion and effort of the series is gone, leading to a generic and, dare I say, boring animated adventure. Look elsewhere for family fun.42/100

I am a huge fan of the first Ice Age movie. It made me cry. You might say that this was an unnecessary sequel but having said that it's just great fun for both the adults and the kids. This is the fourth frosty installment of the popular Dream Works series, and I do have to say that although this is so far, the weakest of the movies, the simplicity and the comedy are still great to watch. Yes OK I know that maybe some of the gags are running dry, and some critics have said Ice Age has had it's day, but it's still really top notch family entertainment and what more can you ask for? I really loved it and so did my kids. Who doesn't love a woolly mammoth? Plus there are decent morals thrown in to the plot. Very nice animation and constantly entertaining, I really hope they keep them coming! This was very funny and good like all the others.

Since the first Ice Age debuted in 2002, there now have been three sequels with this film, Continental Drift being the third one. Despite the poor reviews, I enjoyed this film. I have been a fan of the series since it originally came out and while not having the magic of the first film, it still has the charms, zany characters, themes of friendship/family, good animation, and the comedy that we have come to love from Manny, Sid, and Diego.This film reunites our favorite heroes as the land they know begins to break up and create problems for everyone. Manny and the gang are separated from his wife and daughter and while trying to get back to them, they are captured by a group of pirates bent on making their lives miserable.This voice cast still boasts an impeccable voice cast led by our favorites: Ray Romano, Denis Leary, and John Leguizamo. Queen Latifah does solid voice work as well. On the other hand, Nicky Minaj was in this movie and all I can say is....ugh.Overall, Ice Age: Continental Drift is still an entertaining adventure even though I fear it may be losing some mojo. Children will definitely enjoy this and so will fans of the series. It has crisp animation, silly comedy, and also a few good songs such as that one called, "We Are Family." That is a perfect title for a film that relies on friendship and family bonding. I rate this film 9/10.

Alright so i've liked the Ice Age legacy since 2000 and I seen all of them. The first one was good,the second was nice,the third was alright but this one is actually not that bad. This time we've got new voice talents from Josh Gad(who can be seen later this year in the anticpated 2nd CGI Disney fairytale after Tangled,Frozen),Peter Dindage(from Underdog and played one of the dwarfs in Mirror Mirror)and the queen diva herself Ms Jennifer Lopez(Maid In Manhattan,and Monster In Law). This time the world is at risk as Scatty the squirell who's obsessed with this acorn destroys the world causing Manny,Sid and Diego to part ways with Manny's family(Queen Latifah)and end up meeting more animals as Manny and his friends try to find a way home. SO is Ice Age the best cartoon ever made,well the animation is really good but you wouldn't be talking about it non stop compare to other animated films, but this one was actually good,but I wish this is the last one because if they keep adding more you'll lose interest in it.Overall out of 5 its a 3 out of 5. Out of 10 i'll give it a 6.
