Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies A sugar high that inevitably fades with time. Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2012 Full Review London Evening Standard This is animation that never just goes through the motions but glories in its feats and so, almost certainly, will you. Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2012 Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension Madagascar 3 isn't an emotional ride the way Pixar's films tend towards, but it's relentlessly goofy fun. Good for some laughs, I say take a small person and see what happens. Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com May very well become America's most wanted film this first weekend in June. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin I will not call watching the movie a bad experience. But to be honest with you, that's not saying much.

Chris My granddaughter liked the movie. She just turned 8. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/21 Full Review Daniel M Dubious makes this movie not be 3 stars. She's as crazy as Mort with the power of the Penguins. Other than the psycho villain this movie kinda just exists. I like the Italian seal guy. Uh, I like the car chase. That circus performance with Firework playing in the background is great. The finale was good. I don't know what else to say. I can't decide wether the first is better or worse than this. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Verril Manuel A Cool Opening Scene, and Best Villain Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review James M Even though this ain't on the same level as "Escape to Africa" or "Penguins", it's still a better experience than the first. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Luke R I used to love this movie. Honestly, Madagascar 2 is better. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Wallace G I cant move move animore Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
