They sometimes say the sequels only get worse, but not in this case!

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2009)

I thought that Ice age was the greatest animation movie at it's time. Ice age 2: the meltdown was a great sequel and I thought that was the end of the series. But then Ice age 3: Dawn of the dinosaurs showed up!
I was psyched to go see this movie! I wanted to see more of the hilarious antics of Scrat and the always clumsy Sid. However Ice age 3 delivered so much MUCH more...
If you are familiar with Ice age 1 and 2, you will feel right at home when watching 3. The humor is the same, if not better. All the characters from the prequels return and we get a few new ones too!
Scratte is simply awesome! She's the rival of Scrat when it comes to collecting acorns. The scenes they have together are simply hilarious. Then we have Buck, the one-eyed weasel. Another great addition to the cast. I loved his voice and facial expressions. He's just a crazy, care-free, single guy who spends his life in a jungle.
The 'old' characters all do their part to make this movie even more enjoyable. You think that adding characters will make the ones already present move more to the background. Not in this movie! Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Crash and Eddie all still have funny scenes and dialog. I laughed almost the whole movie, it's a real fun fest!
If you can, try to watch this movie in 3-D. It's just an extra feature they used really well. Plus, when was the last time you saw a movie in 3-D!?
I give Ice age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs a fat 9 out of 10 stars!
