Worst writing of an animated film in recent memory. It's like the whole thing was written by consultants in a boardroom while looking at demographic trends and twitter keywords. The only mildly entertaining bits of this film are the siren sequence and the atlantis bit. The rest is truly painful to watch.

Yes, Jennifer Lopez is annoying in cartoons too.

Okkervil | 9 7th |
An utterly charmless & humourless 90-odd minutes of by-the-numbers stereotypes, rehashed old jokes & stale unimaginative plotting. All the female characters are voiced by the same actress ('Sassy Blackchick' I believe her name is?) & the whole painful experience is the movie equivalent of Justin Bieber taking a shit on your face & then telling the world how awesome it was on twitter, Facebook & uploading a song about it to YouTube. That might make sense when you see it? Or not. Fuck do I care?

There's about 30 characters in this and less than 8 are actually necessary. Actually, this entire movie is completely unnecessary.

I've been out of the loop on Ice Age since the first film. I no longer feel bad about that fact after having seen this. Static characters, cookie-cutter story that starts, goes and ends nowhere. Impressive only because of how much voice talent (not to mention a few well-animated scenes) it manages to waste. Boring. I'm bored just talking about it.

Seems to have been written by a random number generator selecting from common scenes in children's movies. There are some pretty shots, but there is nothing else good to say about it. Even the voice acting is grating and terribly cast. But hey, more characters and more celebrity voice talent means more licensed merchandise, right?! The vast majority of these characters have no business being in the film.

Not long from now, I will have forgotten nearly every frame of 'Ice Age 4.' In fact, I swear I've seen this same movie before in another movie. But was it bad? No. Not at all. It was plenty amusing, with a few laughs, and at a brisk 80 minutes, who am I to care?

Saldanha steps away and the franchise seems fresh, with some nice villainy and the best beginning of the saga. Then, like every chapter, it kind of drags.

Most of the animals in the franchise are extinct - hopefully the Ice Age franchise will be the same after this...

why do they have to keep filming until they screw up? just like the pirates of the caribbean. the trilogy was beyond awesome. and here comes the fourth one, with bad humour and weak story.

Can never take itself seriously except for its most cliche subplots, has a dull antagonist, a lot of stupid comic relief. It is truly an only-for-kids movie..What a shame, I loved the 3rd one.

Ice Age: Continental Drift could quite easily be mistaken for any of the other Ice Age sequels and this really is a money spinning franchise that has run out of ideas. The first film was reasonably enjoyable but the sequels have all been forgettable and repetitive. This fourth instalment is harmlessly watchable for kids and borderline tolerable for adults. The animation is impressive and Peter Dinkladge provides standout voice work for the menacing villain. Otherwise this completely forgettable.

The protective dad and wants-to-be-popular teen daughter drama couldn't be more bland, so the film does well to focus more on the high-seas adventure plot, which is predictable and simple but full of rambunctious action (see the ship hijacking), engaging secondary characters (Dinklage's captain is truly frightening; Sykes' senile granny hilarious), and wholly entertaining tangents (see the brilliant pirate shanty; Scrat's ever-escalating adventures to the core of the earth and Scratlantis).

Corbad | 60 32nd |
An improvement over the preceding two, but nowhere near the heights of the original. Dinklage plays a mean villain (heh) and iceolating the original trio (though Granny's a nice addition) from the baggage they've collected in the preceding films is an effective move, but the longer the series goes on and the deeper they dive into his gross male stereotype, the more unwatchable Manny becomes.
