Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Alex, Marty, and other zoo animals find a way to escape from Madagascar when the penguins reassemble a wrecked airplane. The precariously repaired craft stays airborne just long enough to make it to the African continent. There the New Yorkers encounter members of their own species for the first time. Africa proves to be a wild place, but Alex and company wonder if it is better than their Central Park home.

The Worst Film Ever
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
IS MADAGASCAR 2: ESCAPE TO Africa ANY GOOD? Superior sequel finds our heroes fleeing Madagascar and reuniting with Alex's (Ben Stiller) family in Africa, where another lion threatens his family's claim to lead the pride. Meanwhile, Melman (David Schwimmer) struggles to confess his feelings to Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Marty tries to establish his own identity among scores of identical zebras. Loaded with hilarious non-sequiturs and inspired silliness.IS IT OKAY FOR YOUR KIDS? Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa is rated PG. A large male hippo flirts with a female hippo; the camera focuses on his large buttocks and he says how he likes large females. There's plenty of slapstick violence.ANY WORTHWHILE MESSAGES TO DISCUSS? We all have talents that can contribute to the good of all.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa do not have the same quality of the first , the plot looks like a copy of the first , the film is less funny is funny that the first does not have good times also , the characters still charismatic , but that does not save the film, has some funny moments , especially when the old lady appears , the plot in addition to remember the first film , is very cliché, the soundtrack is cool, the voice work is still relevant , the villain of the film is not convincing, the old lady gave more threat he , and the moments of Melman giraffe , Hippo with Glory are very annoying , I found the very Melman forced in this movie , Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is much lower than the first , more than to give a good laugh . Note 5.1
In August 2008 I learned that this movie would be hitting theaters in November 2008 and I was really excited because at the time the first movie one of my favorites so when November came grabbed a couple friends bought our tickets and watched the movie. when it was over we all looked each other and agreed the first movie was better this movie is awful it made no sense,it was huge disappointment to fans of the first movie, possibly the worst part of it is they weren't even being creative throughout the movie it does show how they weren't even trying basically what is the giant lion king rip off. I mean really a cub has a father who is a ruler another lion is jealous and wants to be a ruler and the cub spends most of his life away from home it's just a huge rip off. While be animation can be nice to look at it's not worth sitting through poorly executed material that was far better executed in the lion King and jokes that never have been and never will be funny. Above all else another thing that really gets me is how they got some otherwise talented actors for some weak at best roles I mean the got Bernie mac Alec Baldwin Sherri Shepherd how could they agreed to star in such a terrible movie where they held a gun point? We're they under a contract who knows but this movie should have been called Madagascar 2 the lying king.
This was one of the funniest films I've ever seen. When I see a Dreamworks film I expect a memorable, fun, crude, but a rather mediocre movie. This film was (very) memorable, fun, (very) crude but a high- quality movie.So, the film starts off with giving you a bit of background on how Alex got to the zoo in New York and then goes to the present where the animals you got to know and love in the first film (Alex, Gloria, Marty, Melman, the penguins, King Julien, Maurice, Mort, and the two monkeys) get ready to go to New York. Well, the end crash-landing in Africa and Alex meets his family and the others (outside of Julien and the penguins) find other animals of their kind. This film is charming like the original Madagascar. Alex meets his family and then he and his dad struggle to keep a good relationship. At the same time he struggles to keep friends with Marty. It's another film about struggling relationships. But, it's done in a rather fun and charming way.This film is a bit more inappropriate (ok, check that, a lot more inappropriate) than the first film. This one the sexual innuendo and a little close to sex scenes dominate the film, some more suggestive language, and a few scenes of animals beating up an elderly woman.Overall, it is definitely better, but more inappropriate than the first. Personally the absolute youngest age I'd allow a child to see it is 8. I give this film 8 stars out of 10.
