November 25, 2011Ice Age 3 is not the best in the series, that is still the original, but for what it was this movie wasn't very bad.
-
November 18, 2011Warning this film may be hazardous to your child's education. apart from that, it's pretty good. Much better than Ice Age 2 but that's mainly down to the introduction of Simon Pegg's Buck and of course the continued adventures of Scrat. I see Ice Age 4 is on its way, why they hav... read more

November 4, 2011Unlike the horrible Ice Age 2 this entry to the series is entertaining and has some quality witty humour. The animation of course gets better with each one. Unlike the first one it overdoe it with slapstick but there is a more energetic jolt from the voice cast this time round th... read more

September 19, 2011as with all of the ice age movies it is fantastic with the animation comedy and acting and this is by far my favorite

January 18, 2011It's okay. I love Simon Pegg. It's cute and all computery-pretty to look at. But it's not as good as the first one and it's all just predictable cuteness. If you like the others you'll like this one just as much. If you want to watch a great dinosaur movie made in to a billion se... read more

September 22, 2010Wow, I never thought that 'Ice Age' series could be a successful franchise... The first one was good, the second was hilarious, and now for the third : it still good! The story was the best from the other 'Ice Age' movie, but it wasn't as hilarious as the second one...
-
August 21, 2010Another great Ice age film with plenty of new characters. Just as good as the first two films and I liked it slightly more than the second. Great to see some dinosaur characters. Plenty of funny moments and great detailed animation work.

August 12, 2010"Why is it called the Gorge of Death?
- We tried calling it The Big Smelly Crack but people kept giggling."
'Ice Age: The Meltdown' is one of the most successful animations (or movies for that matter) ever made. The critic it got wasn't nearly as good as with the first one, whic... read more

Certainly not terrible, but ultimately forgettable and that means you should skip it. Full Review

Ben Lyons, At the Movies
The whole movie is more of the same and I'm afraid the franchis is running out of steam. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rather than evolving, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs treads on familiar and infertile ground. Full Review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
There's a sense of ineptness in a script that constantly reaches, with only modest success, for amusing things that the mammoths and their friends can do. Full Review

James Rocchi, MSN Movies
There are chases and escapes, morals and messages, comedy and character... but when the fur stops flying, it still feels more frozen than fresh. Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
It's not utterly without charm. Only here, that charm feels less earned than manufactured, a product not of evolution -- or even intelligent design -- but of cynical, soulless opportunism. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
This rambunctious outing -- the third in the franchise -- is cute enough to engage kids and just smart enough to keep the chaperones entertained. Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, Houston Chronicle
If the third Ice Age were a bit better, there would be little need to dwell on the inconsistencies. Full Review
