It was still a good movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 October 2012)

At times, I wonder why people feel so disappointed about this movie. I mean, these movies are mainly directed at younger children but I myself quite enjoyed this film. Surely, it wasn't as good as the other three but I really enjoyed many aspects of this film.
The voice acting and plot were good. I, in particular liked some of the new characters and wished some others would just explode. Characters I liked were Peaches, Louis, Sid's grandmother and his entire family, Shira and Gutt. Sure, Gutt wasn't the best villain "bad guy" they could get, but he made the storyline interesting. However, I truly hated Ethan and his friends (including those female mammoths who talk weirdly).
The biggest problem about this film is that its quite predictable. Whereas the previous three had twists and turns at the end, this one didn't leave me surprised. Captain Gutt's death was disappointing. I know its for comic purposes, but his death scene seemed so unrelated to the story.
Overall, a good movie. Not the best, but a fine addition to our beloved "Ice Age" series.
