This film should deserves no more than 6 or 7

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2008)

Madagascar 2, the sequel everybody wanted and received, sometimes though that's not a very good thing.
This film was hilarious, some of the lines had me teary eyed but once the story got them settled in Africa the movie just kind of became a complete mesh of things that prove they ran out of ideas for the sequel.
I feel they've killed a one of a kind movie by making a sequel that blackens it's good name, like what they did with Shrek 3, they extended the story to make and tried to extend the things that made first film work so well but did it very poorly.
Let me put it in this list.
1. The Monkey's, if you watch closely they appear as passangers on the plane, they weren't on the island of madagascar in the first place so they were uncarefully placed back into the story just to push the plot forward and get some jokes going "Maternity leave....your all male".
2. The mixed species love is once again touched upon, a hippo and giraffe this time, i think this was unnecessary.
3. The old lady with a handbag, although this was classic it's just an added scenario for comedy and was a bit excessive.
4. The terrible dialogue of the new yorkers.
5. The change in Mellmans personality was very swift, he was once a pill popping, neurotic, timid, pessimistic giraffe but give him 2 days to live and he's extremely confident and stubborn.
6. Marty's affliction with no longer being unique was just childish.
7. You can basically guess the whole plot from the moment they crash.
8. All the lions could stand up although this should only be possible for Alex.
