Madagascar

I watched it last night. Well it was ok, not great. It was like that other movie, Ice Age, in that it was ok but definitely not great. Lots of boring feel good jibberjabber and crap. Plot a little thin. Spoiler: They live in the zoo. The break out (Zebra, followed by others). They get caught and are tranq'ed, boxed up, and sent away on a boat packed in individual boxes (there are penguins, a hippo, a giraffe, a zebra and a Lion named Alex) each to far away destinations. The penguins want to go to Antarctica, the others want to go to 'the wild' or most of them do. The penguins escape and hijack the ship, a sharp turn causes the crates with the animals to end up in the water and adrift until they reach an island. 30 minutes in here. Then we have bad guys 'foosa' hyena things not long after (they all crash a big lemur party, badguys first). Lion saves the day, lemurs love the new animals. Lion wants to get out of there and go back home to the zoo where he's the superstar and eats steak all the time. Lame gags abound. They go to another part of the island and lion decides he wants to stay, but he's hungry and cant eat his buddies. They dont really address the problem, he just gets hungrier and crazier from the hunger. Secludes himself so he doesnt eat his friends. Lame lame lame. Penguins who turn out not to like antarctica come to the island and intervene when badguys show up again. Lion comes out to finish them off, and tells them to get off his turf. Roar. They oblige. Penguins feed fish to the lion. Silly feel good ending.
