not so great this time

Rating: 5/10 (19 April 2006)

Well the first movie was great. As soon as I saw "Ice Age" teaser in movie theatre I said "I gotta see this one". I saw it, I loved it and I purchased DVD for my collection.
As soon as I heard "Ice Age: The Meltdown" was coming I said I gotta see it. But this time I's wrong.
In my opinion, the movie was just an attempt to make more money based on the success of the first. Trhoughout the movie everything seemed, well, familiar... Almost identical to scenes in the first movie. Similar scenes, same characters, same jokes.
It is not a bad animation; but it is not anything like the first one -so don't compare them.
