Review of Penguins of Madagascar (2014) by Striking4Gold4 — 21 May 2017

I'm gonna be honest. I really enjoy the Madagascar franchise. The first was okay, the second was great even if it DID feel like it took elements from The Lion King, and the third was highly enjoyable. But you know who my favorite characters in the movie are? The penguins.

So having them get their own film was expected considering the success of their TV series. And it was really fun. Sure, it has it's flaws (which I will get to later), but it makes up for it with some enjoyable action scenes, the fun and lovely animation, and funnier moments with the Penguins.

Oh, sorry, I mean the "Peng-wings". It also helps us know them better, like how Skipper treats his team mates, and how Private feels about his position. However, the film isn't exactly perfect, and the problems can be found in the writing.

The story seems kind of predictable and WAY too silly, even for a Penguins of Madagascar movie. Also, the jokes mostly fall flat, like the octopuses' names have to be given a joke, like "Nicholas, cage them" or "Kevin, bake on".

But luckily, the action and lively animation make it really enjoyable.
