An average movie

To be honest, who would have expected 'Madagascar' to launch such a successful franchise, especially in the very competitive animated market? Personally, I must say I was really surprised by the 1st installment. Indeed, the animation was original and rather gorgeous, the characters were funny and I really enjoyed the plot. Of course, as usual with Dreamworks, in the contrary to the amazingly creative Pixar, it was nothing mind-blowing but it was pretty funny and I was entertained throughout the whole thing which I didn't really expect. However, I wasn't really convinced by the idea of a sequel. I mean, it was a nice little story but it was enough as it was and I don't think the characters had much more to say. Eventually, I was right, this sequel looked good and there were some funny bits but it didn't add much to the whole thing. Above all, the movie is called 'Madagascar' but it doesn't take place there anymore! I know, it is a small detail but it shows that this sequel wasn't necessary and it couldn't possibly be an improvement. To conclude, it is a well-made but average animated feature but if you are a fan of the genre, or if you are younger than 13 years old, it is still worth a look though.
