All member reviews for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

 
Great Family Movie
My children enjoy this movie. They do all the dances and they love the story. There are some moments of scary parts for young children

 
Beware-More content
Edgier Than the first

 
Too much emphasis on the hippo romance. Too much violence by and toward Granny.

Not A Kids' Movie
This is not a kids’ movie. It’s packaged as one. But the character situations, the dialogue, the music and the humor are all intended for a much older audience. Whether it was the penguins slapping on a Boston oldie while launching their deathtrap of a plane into the air or Gloria being smitten by the sexual rumblings of MotoMoto, the laughter in the audience was mostly adults (with confused kids following their parents’ cues). The characters actually CURSE during the movie. TWICE. Though it’s thiiiiiiinly concealed by not so clever plays on words. Did I laugh? Yes. But never at the same time as my girls. And the number of times they laughed, well, I could keep one hand in the popcorn bucket and the other on my drink and STILL have a pinky to spare toward the counting of that. [An excerpt from my original review. You can see the whole thing at *kidkong*]

It was okay.
I took my children to see this movie and I was kind of dissipointed. It had some sacrificing to Other Gods on it although in the movie you can clearly see that it didn't work out that way, but none the less if you don't want your children being subjected to things of that nature I would not recommend taking them to see it.Was not as good as the first.But most movie's aren't'

...2nd is the best!
I think "Mad 2" is WAY better than the first one...But there are some things you should look out for. There is a GNARLY/funny plane crash in the middle...but no one is injured...and the whole Gloria+MotoMoto deal, But overall that, a great movie to watch with your kids!

2 Times isn't the Charm
This movie was definitely not as good as the last film. It was kind of boring and was just an origin of Alex. It wasn't that interesting and the characters were just not themselves anymore. I only liked the opening and ending.

Better than the first
The first was one good, but seemed to a lower quality Disney/Pixar movie. I liked it, 6/10. I thought this one was going to be the same, but NO it's better than the first. It has a good story, picking up with the last one and leaving it for another one. I'm not saying the story was rich and deep, but it was good for a cartoon, and the laughs made up for it. My whole family was rolling and laughing. 8/10.

My opinion and review
Well the film does have gross vilence like nipple twisting, and is sexual with flerting, and butts. But to be honest I don't like this film much, really its just a copy a of Lion King. I prefer Lion King more to this

As fun as the first!
My son loves that each character has very unique personalities. There is some innuendo, but he misses it at age 3, doesn't think anything of it. He has a lot of fun with the music and action. He's constantly singing the song "I like to move it!". This is a regular watch in our home.

A Mildly Amusing but Inferior Sequel...
MADAGASCAR isn’t classic by any stretch, but it was funny and entertaining. I can't say as much for the sequel. The animals are back, and this time they're in Africa. Alex meets his parents, Marty meets a clan of zebras, Gloria meets a man and Melvin becomes a witch-doctor. Impressed? I wasn't either. There are crude terms ("poop" and "moron"). There is quite a bit of sexual innuendo. As a male hippo walks (with "I like `em big/I like `em chunky" playing) as the camera focuses on his abs and butt. Another hippo says she might join the "breeding program" at a zoo, and hippos gawk at how "big and huge" they are. A lemur cozies up to a male giraffe with a gleeful smile. The same (male) lemur pops out of a cake wearing a skirt and coconut bra asking who is attracted to him. A male monkey willingly kisses a male penguin on the mouth, and pictures of a penguin kissing and fondling a doll are seen as blackmail.

Good for 6+
A very good sequel that's better than the first so I'm shocked.

Another great Madagascar movie, very funny with Alex and Marty. This movie is about friendship and the difficulties and challenges friends have each day.
