I had such high hopes for this sequel, but honestly, I walked away feeling pretty let down. For me, it’s easily the most boring entry in the Ice Age franchise.
Sid and his grandma are absolute gold, but unfortunately, everyone else is the exact opposite. Baby Manny has grown up into a teenager, which turns Manny into that typical, overbearing "girl dad" archetype that’s just exhausting to watch. Then there's Diego, who’s suddenly caught up in a romance, and Eddie & Crash only get a few measly minutes of screen time. Instead of them, we get this crowd of useless, uninteresting pirates—and even then, only a couple of them actually felt like threats. Plus, the Teenage Mammoths 🙄 ...
I guess I just miss that classic Ice Age charm; there are way too many characters here, and that signature atmosphere is just gone...
5/10. It’s an average cartoon. If you compare it to the other films, I’d probably rate it even lower, but on its own merits, it deserves a 5/10. At least Sid and his grandma saved the experience for me.
