Review of Madagascar (2005) by Paul B — 27 Nov 2014

Over the years some films begin to deterierate and lose their flare they once had. As so many Dreamworks film have done now (proven their worth), "Madagascar" feels like one of the weakest attempts from them since the beginning of their animation stages.

I used to think this film was short and sweet, and while it still remains a fairly short picture, "Madagascar" just does not hold up in the story department. When one of their group decides to visit the wild, they end up joining him against their will and adventures and betrayals occur.

It is definitely not an original story, but this type of story can usually work in a kids film right? Wrong. "Madagascar" has a few laughs here and there, but the film is ultimately boring. A very disappointing film.
