Movie Review: Ice Age 3 - Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Jul 15, 2009 17:31

I was going to put off reviewing this one, (like I've been putting off reviewing Sell Out and Monsters vs Aliens), but really, if I'm going to be watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince tomorrow, I should probably get this out of the way.




First off, the obvious.

Sequels are never as good as the original.

Having said that, however, I feel the need to clarify that I don't feel that way about this sequel. Sure, it wasn't as good as its original, but, but, but, there was enough cuteness in it to make me, (me, being a GIRL with hormonal imbalances and all), to make me squeal.

Ice Age 3 picks up where Ice Age 2 left off. Manny and Ellie are awaiting the arrival of their new baby, now accompanied by not only Sid and Diego, but by Ellie's brothers, Crash and Eddy. Manny, obviously, suffering from OCD, goes nutso-insane-big-daddy-crazy over Ellie and his baby, while Sid does nothing but get in the way (but seriously, who didn't see that coming?). Diego has blackouts due to lack of exercise, (silly old tiger, yes he is!), and has a middle-age crisis.

The first thing that caught my attention, however, was this.




Three ADORABLE little baby T-rex thingies. Sid's babies. How on earth could something that small and that cute grow up to hate brocolli and eat just about everything and anything with flesh on their bones?

Who's my little t-rex baby? Who's my little man-eater? *coos*

And then, of course, the next thing to make me coo was this.




C'mon, I'm a woman. I'm hormanal, so deal with it. XD

PEACHES IS SO CUTE.

The one thing that got to me, though, was...

...how come Peaches cries like a human baby? .________. That's disturbing. VERY disturbing. I mean, imagine if you're blind. You just had a baby, and you're reaching out into a crib at the hospital to pick your child up. And because baby Peaches sounds exactly like a little human baby, you pick HER up, cuddle her, and go...

"AH BOH ARRRRRR! CHO MI SU WA LANG EH CHA BOR GI NA UU MOR EH?!"

*translation from Hokkien: WIFE! HOW COME OUR DAUGHTER HAS FUR?!"

Yes. I'm very much aware that mammoths are extinct and that there is absolutely no chance for someone to find a baby mammoth in a hospital crib.

I am obviously crazy. Bwahahahaha. I give this a 3/5 rating! For the babies and for the funny and for the SCRAT. XD

reviews, movies
