It is fun, but not as much as the first

Rating: 6/10 (2 April 2006)

I liked Ice Age 2, The Meltdown..It moved faster than I thought it would, and I enjoyed seeing the main characters again. The love interest was interesting, but not what it could have been. I am not sure how it could have been made better.
Certainly this film was good, very good. To me, it had only one purpose, and that was to make me laugh, and it did. I really wasn't anticipating a great film , but there could have been more laughs. As sequels go, well it wasn't as good as the first, but we all know, that almost none are. It was great to see Scrat again (Wiley Coyote) and many of the gags were excellent. Sid was really a star here, and I enjoyed the mix of spectacular special effects along with the gags of the motley crew searching for a way out of their current situation. One particular song with the vultures, was especially fun. I enjoyed this movie very much, and it came through. That is all one can expect these days. As they say, it worked, and as we know, many don't.
