Ice age: Dawn of the dead trilogy.

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2009)

After three films, we have come to what is hopefully the final Ice age film. With Ice age 3, they squeeze out every last bit of juice that is keeping this series still going. Money. Now, if looks were everything, Ice age: Dawn of the dinosaurs would be perfection. Well, you know what, looks aren't everything. So on the whole, Ice age:Dawn of the dinosaurs is a mess.
I am sad to say this too. What has happened over the past couple of years. Like I said in my review for the first one, compared to the other animated achievements in the past, Ice age doesn't come close. That couldn't be further from the truth the third time around.
I barely laughed when I was supposed to. A lot of the laughs miss the mark. There really isn't too much to the plot itself. Really, was there one to the first one? Surely kids will eat this crap up. That is because kids are stupid. I sure wouldn't. I'd spit it out. I never really wanted to see it. But I watched it cause I had nothing else to do. I should've stayed bored.
The film of course continues from Ice Age: The Meltdown. I didn't like that one either. It's about as memorable as, well, it isn't memorable. It's a forgettable film. If it wasn't for the fact that I just watched this one, I would forget about it too.
Now to the plot. Ice age 3 continues the lives of Manny(voiced by Ray Ramano), Sid(voiced by John Leguizamo), and Deigo, I think(voiced by Dennis Leary).Manny is going to have a baby with Ellie(voiced by Queen Latifa). Funny, the same thing happened in Shrek 3.
Sid is jealous and wants children himself. And Deigo, well, you never really got anything from him unfortunately. So one day Sid finds these eggs. And when they hatch, he realizes that they are dinosaur eggs. Sid wants to keep them. And he does until a dinosaur rains on his parade and tries to take them back.
So Sid goes on the run. Or is kidnapped or something. And all of his friends search for him. The film tries as hard as Sid does to to keep his babies. But they try to keep our attention. With gags like the squirrel or whatever trying to get the walnut. I enjoyed them in the first two. Now I am tired of them. Like I am tired of the trilogy.
My interest for the Ice age trilogy is extinct. The only reason why I think it's worth a five is because of the visuals and perhaps the effort. But really, after seeing the third film ,and if they make a fourth, I am tired of them. I'll probably stick around for Shrek four out next year. But Ice age four is a no no.
