Movie Review: Madagascar
Last night we had a screening of the new Dreamworks film Madagascar and I must say, it was one of the most enjoyable, light, fun, upbeat movies I’ve seen in a long time. I had a blast. It was colorful, it was fun, the voice talent was great, and it looked good.
The movie begins with a quartet of animals enjoying the good life in New York’s Central Park Zoo. Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller) is the king of the zoo, performing to the delight of New Yorkers. His friend is Marty the Zebra, who just celebrated his birthday, turning the big 1-0. Rounding out the foursome is Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer) and Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith). Marty is suffering a mid life crisis, and wonders what it would be like in The Wild.
And… well… hilarity ensued.
I really like this film. It was cute, fun, light and easy to watch. Lots of good animation. The style, which I thought looked a bit uneven in the previews, works when it is all stitched together. I’d give it an 8.5/10.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
