L'Âge de glace 2

L'unité était assez insignifiante, mais très amusante (j'ai donné 4 étoiles). Le deuxième est totalement insignifiant et peu amusant (seule la petite écureuil l'a sauvé). L'animation est excellente (sauf pour cette grosse vague), le son de la glace qui se brise est génial, mais le scénario - des répliques, des blagues jusqu'à l'exploitation du potentiel de mignonnité des personnages - appartient aux eaux inférieures des animations B, diffusées en première sur DVD. C'est frappant pour un méga-projet comme Ice Age 2. (30/03/2006)

They screwed a slightly different, inoffensive story that is entertaining and makes you laugh. The wisecracks and dialogs are as amusing as last time, plus Scrat is put to much greater use and more interestingly and at the end he is unbeatable. A respectable little brother to part one which definitely is nothing to be ashamed of. (13/06/2006)

Yup, the ice age is the ice age... But this time it is so frozen that it is nothing more than condensed boredom. The entire “prehistoric road movie" has turned into a moralizing vehicle for kids, full of wannabe humorous escapades leaping from one iceberg or boulder to the next. And not even the characters are at all intriguing. Even Scrat has problems trying to save the day and he manages only thanks to the final scene in heaven. Perfect for young kids, but pure torture for adults. Let’s hope that this time too that the DVD has a better bonus movie in store for us. (13/08/2006)

It wasn't love at first sight, but maybe that's why "Obleva" is now my favorite episode. Sid impresses with every dumb word he says, I find myself humming the Bugging Song suspiciously often, and Scrat is definitely the king of the supporting animated characters. As I got used to the much greater emphasis on family values during subsequent viewings, I can't help but smile while writing this comment. (27/04/2006)

The lack of a denser and more spirited plot could be excused by the fact that this is a film for children. But when a little boy of about six, who was sitting behind me in the movie theater, asked his mother questions like "Why are they going there?" and "What are they doing there?", it was clear to me that the second installment of Ice Age was nothing more than a safe bet. It’s a safe bet that throws in one gag after another, interspersed with more "action-oriented" scenes, mammoth (literally) prodding, and very (and I mean very!) poor and awkward attempts at a few little quotes from other films (M:I-II, Saving Private Ryan). Ice Age: The Meltdown is a terrible film that hasn't changed a single pixel, let alone the plot, so the adage that you can only make a single tea out of one tea bag is more than spot on here.
