Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa Review

I really enjoyed the original Madagascar and the previews made this one look just as good.

I'm sorry to report that it is not. The 4 main characters are together for only the first 20 or so minutes, then they all separate and start on their own story line. Alex has issues with his pride which he is reunited with, Marty discovers that he's not as unique as he had believed and Melman and Gloria are off having issues with their love lives. The camera work in the beginning of the movie is a lot like being pushed around in a crowd, so if you get motion sick easily at all, beware.

The few times that I did laugh during the movie were mostly due to the penguins antics, and most of those had been seen on the previews.

This movie can definately be skipped in the theatres, and possibly even as a rental.
