Just plain irritating compared to first three

Rating: 1/10 (14 July 2012)

This is in no way like the other three Ice Age movies. It is just plain irritating from beginning to end. The voices of Wanda Sykes, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Lopez, and Nicki Minaj are like fingernails on a chalkboard from beginning to end, and every crowd scene is made to sound like a ghetto basketball game. I guess they're trying to appeal to "minority" audiences...
Throw in a stupid take-off of Pirates of Penzance, a bored performance by the main characters (although they made Peter Dinklage into a manic monkey), and you get a stew of pain. I guess they decided it's time for minority voices to drown out the white males, and this is the stupidity they come up with. Blecch.
The only good thing about the movie is Scrat, but even that comes out being relatively stupid. The animal goes to the core of the earth, runs back and forth and makes the earth crack up. Riggghhhtttt.
