A little salty.....

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2012)

The Ice Age franchise is one of those things that boggles me, from the upstart, I have never been a fan, it drones on and on, and every film is just the three of them on a little journey, with interludes from the acorn loving Scrat.
But these beasts keep making money, and although the fourth instalments is a step up from the third, I give up disliking the movies because the y do their job and the y entertained my six year old.
This time Scrat moves an acorn and it causes a continental shift, and this little incident is the highlight of the film, it all goes downhill from there.
The three main guys get split from their families and must find a way to be back, but they run into pirates, led by Peter Dinklage and J-Lo (oh it's her because she sings at the end) and chaos ensues.
Oh and the guys are joined by SIDS senile grandmother, for comic relief, what popular animated franchise would need a loud comic relief character if they didn't know it was running out of steam?
It's watchable while it last, and I avoided the 3-D just because I'd heard bad things about it, but then I squirmed every time a character purposely pointed something at the camera.
If you are a fan of the movies, you will lap this up. I'm not a fan, and it just did the same as it always does..
