Painfully bad script

Rating: 1/10 (29 July 2009)

OK, you saw Ice Age 1&2 and you will see the third one. I know this mini-review will not prevent you from seeing the movie. But at least I will have have a good sleep... because I TOLD YOU!
OK, IA3 is BAD. Really bad. It is missing something the previous 2 movies had. Humor.
Yes, there is a lot of action, animals are jumping all around the screen and every now and then someone is falling into bottomless abyss... But that is too little to present it as a movie.
Mainly because...
The script is retarded! I felt like Sylvester Stallone was writing it! The movie seems like a sequence of random scenes a events - this may work great for Family Guy, but it does not for IA3. I did not have a clue what was happening in the first 30 minutes, apparently the animals were trying to get from point A to point B. What was happening after knows only God and a few millions people who actually sit through whole movie.
Jokes were too forced and rare. Feels like 10 "creative" marketing guys were sitting together and everyone had to felt the obligation to actually contribute something to the movie. You just do not feel the passion and enthusiasm that was put into the first Ice Age. IA3 feels like a YET ANOTHER GENERIC PRODUCT manufactured by generic employees of a generic company.
It is bigger. It is noisier. It is more annoying. And it is NOT FUNNY. Sure, graphics is great but it is just a lipstick on a fat & dirty (fill in the animal you really dislike).
