Another unnecessary sequel

Rating: 4/10 (12 October 2012)

Pixar is really in the mood for releasing crappy sequels.First "Cars 2",now this.Let's look at the previous ice age movies.The first one was pretty good.I liked the idea and the characters were interesting.The second one focused mainly on the Development of Manny and Diego,not as good as the first one,but still decent.The third one was a little ridiculous with the whole dinosaur thing,but still watchable.Then there is this.The sequel that ruined the series for me.There is zero character development,except for Manny's daughter and her nerdy boyfriend,but tell me,does anyone give a damn about them-NO! We want to see the characters we like going on adventures and stuff like that.Well,they do go on an adventure,a very boring one.When I saw the villain of this movie I couldn't believe my eyes.Sure ice age is a comedy,but the previous films at least took their villains somewhat seriously.There is some romance subplot between Diego and another saber-tooth,but guess what-it goes nowhere.As for positive qualities,the CGI and voice-acting are top notch,naturally,this was made by Pixar after all.This,and the fact,that the there were some funny jokes here and there is the only reason I'm giving this movie 4 stars.Overall,you won't miss much if you don't watch this.
