The people at DreamWorks have not skimped on plot twists, explosions, surprise effects or gags: there’s isn’t a boring minute in this movie. But the frenzy doesn’t give the penguins any depth; they are far from any of the well-rounded characters from Madagascar. Despite this, the movie is mostly funny and well-paced, although it does get repetitive quite quickly. If you have a choice, go see the Madagascar trilogy again. If you don’t, you’ll spend your time hoping that Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the fabulous hippo will turn up to add some spice to this adventure.
