My Review
Source Material: Sequel to the 2005 film, Madagascar, written by Etan Cohen
Action: Brilliant: Enough to keep both adults and kids
Acting and Dialogue: Brilliant: To test the dialogue to family film is there adult laughs...joke make only for adult ears that kids don't get but laugh because you are laughing...Yes
Cinematography: Brilliant: The animation wasn't horrible but wan't spectacular either.
Direction: Brilliant: Pace was good and just long enough NOT to bore the kids
Sound: Common: "I like to move it, move it...I like to move it, move it...I like to move IT!"
Special and Visual FX: Common: animation, none
Overall: B, great movie for the family but will Bolt destroy this movie next week...most likely...If you can't get into Bolt then watch this movie again.
