How the world truly split up into what we know today

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2012)

Ice Age: Continental Drift tells the story of...well... how the continents came apart into what we know today. As this is happening, Manny, Diego, and Sid are separated from Ellie and Peaches during this continental crack-up, and they must find a way back home. Unfortunately, they run into a few pirates along the way. While this is happening, Scrat finds a map to acorn paradise and is trying to find it.
This is a worthy sequel to a great franchise. I don't know why the only one that got the best reviews on Rotten Tomatoes was the first one. To be honest, each movie keeps on getting bigger and bigger, with this one not only having a huge problem, but a bad guy along the way.
The voices are all great, as well. We have Nicki Minaji, Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Peter Dinklage, and Wanda Sykes were all truly welcome to this franchise. However, it is the main voices that are the true stars here. Queen Latifah is great, as always. Sean William Scott and Josh Peck do a great job at Crash and Eddie, Ellie's possum brothers. And, of course, the main trio. Dennis Leary as Diego is great (Dennis is doing a great job this year; he's got "The Amazing Spider-man" under his belt, as well). John Leguizamo is always hilarious as Sid. And as for Ray Romano, let's just say that I'm a big fan of him and his old show "Everybody Loves Raymond," so anytime I get to hear him in a movie, I'm all up for it.
Overall, it's a great movie. It might seem a little stupid, but it's the Ice Age series, so it's all good fun. An 8/10 for me.
