We know that sequels usually do not match up to the original and Ice Age 3 is a threequel. So you know what I mean.
The bigger the budgets, the less time and money producers seem to spend on writers. This one is of course a children's movie and they will certainly enjoy the 3D effect, add to it some top-grade animation and equally amazing visual effects, which looks a lot more stunning than the other two Ice Ages.
This time around, the woolly mammoth couple is expecting a child. This fact alone separates their herd. The sloth wants his own kid, and adopts baby dinosaurs. The toothy tiger abandons the group to set off alone. They cut through ice and enter Jurassic age, where dinosaurs keep getting after at them.
There's a new character introduced in this one, an amusing one-eyed-weasel, who is certainly worth the addition.
But unfortunately all these seem to be lost in a movie that's entered the theatre without an idea of what to do with itself. Pretty much every minute, a new set of crazy creatures enter this hyper-real animal kingdom. There are a few good lines or two, but absolutely unrelated to the main plot. It's almost like someone wrote the dialogue, without knowing what the story was.
There are a few amusing moments but they never add up to make this one a wholesome entertainer.

I think the movie is amazing. Its an excellent entertainment. If you guys liked the first one or the two, its definitely at-least equally good. I watched the movie in 3D and really loved it. Sid is as usual, innocent and funny, but the new character Buck is awesome. -- ypul
Ice age is a nice animated movie and I'm sure the 3rd part would be as interesting to watch. Funny dialogues & amusing characters which makes the movie amazing! -- Tina
