"I slept through the comet that killed the unicorns." First off I would like to say that Granny is one of the best characters. The movie was actually really nice and entertaining with quite a few really good jokes and iconic moments. The main reason I didn't give it a 9 or 10 was because it had quite a few clichés that could have easily been avoided - and because a few characters (*cough* Shira *cough*) could have had a bit more 'involved' with the main trio. (Seriously, Shira was in way too little scenes for her importance). Otherwise a really great franchise addition that is capable of entertaining a widespread audience and making them laugh - mainly because of Granny.

Talk about a film series that just has absolutely no reason to continue on whatsoever. This film was no exception. There was no real reason to continue the Ice Age series. The first movie was an original classic, unique in animation, heartwarming story, distinct characters that had not been seen before, and some hilarious comedy. The second movie was okay, taking the same characters onto a clichéd search for love as well as trying to survive the great melt down. The comedy was okay with occasional laughs, but not a strong story as the last one. The third one was not too bad with dinosaurs, a cool guide named Buck, and it actually had an excellent end to the entire series. This movie………………………get ready to cringe!The story: The continental drift is Scrat's fault, which separates Manny from his family, taking Sid and Diego with him. Sid has an insane grandmother to look after (because one sloth wasn't annoying enough), Diego gets a rushed love acquaintance who is sidekick to a chimpanzee pirate, while Manny's teenage daughter finds out that being "cool" isn't cool, and Scrat is looking for a treasure island.As you can tell from the story, there's way too much story, too complex in some areas and in others simplified, and all the clichés we've heard to death. I think the writers should learn that the more all over the place the focus of the story is, the more forgettable it becomes, which is what happened to this film. Also the comedy is a groan fest. Nothing is original or that funny, and they all revolve around Sid and his grandmother who has got to be the most obnoxious character ever. She's made to look insane when she's really sane, which sometimes can work, but in a tired series with barely anything original and casting Wanda Sykes (who can be a great comedienne) causes the comedy to go downhill. Also there is little to no chemistry between Diego and Jennifer Lopez saber tooth. I know she has a name, but it's getting hard to tell the difference between the celebrity voice actress and the character. It only seemed like she was there just to pay off a debt. The relationship between Manny and his daughter is about as similar as Ariel and Triton, only taking Manny out of character and being way too overprotective. If they had mentioned before that he lost his first child to predators like in the very first movie, I would have given it a pass, but nothing is ever brought up from that movie again. But the biggest problem I have with this film is what does an Ice Age film have anything to do with a Sinbad and Treasure Island film? Really, what does it have anything to do with Ice Age? It makes the animals too humanistic and too silly. Though to be fair, the villain is the only memorable thing and a tad more interesting than anything else. I like how he's smooth talking and murderous for a creature that's suppose to be playful. Why didn't he get his own movie? Why did it have to be combined with Ice Age? I would have been a million more times interested if the film was about a murderous seafaring chimpanzee version of Blackbeard who was the most feared pirate of all the seven seas. I still don't get why Ice Age had to be milked to the core, but it's getting painful. Even the most devout of Ice Age fans agree that this movie was the least of the entire series (verdict is still out on the upcoming Ice Age film). I don't know what else I can say about this film other than PLEASE STOP MAKING MORE AND END ALREADY!

I love this movie. It's so funny and entertaining. I love how the continents all drift apart. I love how in the trailer, Scrat is the one who made the continents split apart, and I love that because of that, that's how giraffes got their long necks, from being stretched.In this movie, Manny, Diego and Sid embark on yet another adventure after their continent is set adrift. It's really cool. They then use an iceberg as a ship, where they encounter many sea creatures and battle pirates as they explore this brave, new world. Overall, I give this movie a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.

Alright so i've liked the Ice Age legacy since 2000 and I seen all of them. The first one was good,the second was nice,the third was alright but this one is actually not that bad. This time we've got new voice talents from Josh Gad(who can be seen later this year in the anticpated 2nd CGI Disney fairytale after Tangled,Frozen),Peter Dindage(from Underdog and played one of the dwarfs in Mirror Mirror)and the queen diva herself Ms Jennifer Lopez(Maid In Manhattan,and Monster In Law). This time the world is at risk as Scatty the squirell who's obsessed with this acorn destroys the world causing Manny,Sid and Diego to part ways with Manny's family(Queen Latifah)and end up meeting more animals as Manny and his friends try to find a way home. SO is Ice Age the best cartoon ever made,well the animation is really good but you wouldn't be talking about it non stop compare to other animated films, but this one was actually good,but I wish this is the last one because if they keep adding more you'll lose interest in it.Overall out of 5 its a 3 out of 5. Out of 10 i'll give it a 6.
