| Topic | Gauntlet Crew Ranks (more!) Animated Films! - I've got horns for making lists |
| v_charon 04/22/18 1:26:54 PM #437: | scarlet: The best part about global warming is the inevitable demise of Madagascar penguin films. Whip out the hairspray and run your motor when you run into the post office, boys. Its time to put this franchise in the ground where it belongs. Rating: 43/100 Snake: While I do enjoy the Penguins as characters, I didnt need to see a whole movies based on them. Largely forgettable. Karo: So the penguins in the Madagascar crew get sick of the 'we like to move it' song (like everyone else in the world) and decide to go break into Fort Knox on a whim. They then get caught in a trap set for them by a vengeful octopus who somehow knew they would be there, because everyone knows the best place to trap penguins is deep inside a secure government installation. They then meet up with a new arctic critter secret agent strike force, because if there is one thing the Madagascar series didnt have enough of it is mediocre talking animal characters. Though the two groups hate each other at first, they eventually learn to work together and save the day with the power of penguin cuteness. Yes, I'm serious, the villain is literally defeated with actual weaponized penguin cuteness. Okay. The penguins were funny in the Madagascar movies because their scenes were limited in number. When you have nothing but penguin hijinks for an hour and a half, you'll want nothing more than for this quartet of tuxedoed avians shoved into a boat propeller in order to make the agony stop. Johnbobb: This is one of the movies I least wanted to watch. Like, the actively shitty ones seemed like they might at least be interesting to watch. But this? Madagascar was barely entertaining on its own, so taking a subpar animated movie and then spinning THAT off just to get the chance to repeat a few dumb jokes from the original. Honestly the whole thing just reeks of a lack of creativity and plenty of lazy choices. Like the gondola chase, that couldve been a cool scene in a better movie, maybe with the soundtrack for it focusing on the actual gondola music instead of generic chase music. A better movie mightve had a female character without needing to make them bizarrely sexy and having their sole purpose be the love interest of a supporting character. And of COURSE it needed to squeeze in a fart joke. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard! |
