Third one's the charm

I was a little bit hesitant about seeing another Ice Age movie because over the years it's very rare a third installment has anything new to offer. But surprisingly enough this one did. And bringing that old humor back is probably the best thing that ever happened to this movie. The comedy is light at the beginning and then it becomes totally intense and then becomes light again towards the end. So what I’m saying is they totally balanced it out. I’m also glad that Syd wasn’t given the burden to carry this movie with his slapstick antics they’ve got new ones to that for him. Also Diego being good didn’t feel awkward and I like the subplot for his character. Manny the mammoth has become a little bit soft though but then again who doesn’t like Ray Romano. The adding of Simon Pegg was a little bit of a surprise, but his character was downright hilarious. The story is rich and fast paced I almost didn’t notice two hours has gone. Lastly I’m very happy about Scrat finally getting some action after all these years. Overall this movie is not just for the kids it’s very likely that even grown-ups would get a kick out of it. I highly recommend this
