The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Dreamworks started to fall really early into their lifespan, huh? They started off brilliantly with the likes of Shrek, Prince Of Egypt and Antz, but started to fall into mediocrity somewhere around 2005 after Madagascar. This movie does have good animation for 2005 and some of the jokes do hit and they do have a decent cast, but the rest of the movie? A bunch of pop culture references that have to be censored with the words "darn" and "heck" because of it's age rating that end up making them fall flat, King Julien is the worst thing to ever be created besides Minions, sometimes it just makes me feel uncomfortable and there a lot of things that are just plain off. Nothing much to say about it really, it's just an average kids flick that MIGHT entertain you at some points.

'Madagascar' is a good animated family film, funny enough to be enjoyed by adults as well as kids. The main character work well together, though I would have liked to see more of the penguins and the two monkeys - the funniest characters in the movie.The plot is lacking somewhat and falls away towards the end, but there is enough fun to keep it going for the full 80 minute duration. There were some good choices for the voice actors and the animation was, as you would expect, colourful and on point.What certainly not spectacular, 'Madagascar' is good animated fun that can be enjoyed by all the family.

This movie is underrated.The movie should not be underrated, 6.9/10 is still an okay and good rating.This movie needs to have better ratings. I want to vote for it. I usually find all Pixar movies with high ratings but this is unacceptable.It is a classic and funny. It does have a few weird scenes but it is a memorable movie.This movie is a good movie, the best of 2005.The movie should not be underrated, 6.9/10 is still an okay and good rating.This movie needs to have better ratings.

This is a very good animation film, the characters, the voices and actors behind them do a great job, they feel very real and alive.This is really all about the characters, where they go and what they do doesn't mean as much as them and their interactions. David Schwimmer does a great job as this overprotective Giraf, he is the hypochondriac in the crowd and he really has some great outburst. Actually all the characters have their own special blend, I will let you experience it on your own, but I will say that it is all the side characters that is really the most fun. And who could see Chris Rock as this very loud mouth Zebra, the voices just really works for this character.
