Fun ride

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2013)

I have to admit, that I didn't think this was going to entertain me as much as it did. There is the thin plot that made some people say that it gets the wrong message across. While it isn't entirely true (especially if you watch the movie you'll see there is more to it), you can understand why people would think that after watching the trailer of the movie.
And there was also the weaker second Madagascar movie that I had in the back of my mind. So I was hesitant when I went to see this one. But the jokes do work most of the time (even though there are some weird music choices in the movie). The 3-D effects are also really adding additional value to the movie. Animated movies seem to get them right most of the time anyway, but I thought I mentioned this anyway.
So maybe I liked it because of my low expectations or at least it helped a lot. But still if you are open minded you'll have fun with this
