Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown
aptly named - this was one of my bigger disapointments in a long time.
in typical big hollywood sequel fashion .. instead of the relaxed pacing and clever delivery of the 1st film, this one was - from the 1st frame - amped up, bloated, and just plain irritating.
again a sequal is ruined by the filmmakers looking at what made the 1st film a success ... and crunching it into a computer to come up with something bigger and brighter based on what worked the 1st time ...the 'key moments'
where the sequels of toy story and shrek made wonderful films by allowing a fresh movie/story to unravel ... ice age 2 felt forced and desperate. dont let the kids get bored - knock them dead and keep it coming. go go go go !!!!
such a shame.
