5.0 out of 5 stars A Movie That's Fun For Everyone
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2012

Mom, Dad, kids, Grandma, Grandpa... yup the whole crew will likely enjoy this installment of the Madagascar series. There's enough laughs to keep everyone interested and the voice actors really help to bring the point home with their great representations of the characters. This time these zany animals try to make it home from Madagascar, but the penguin repaired plane doesn't quite make it back to New York city. Instead, it crash lands in Africa where Alex (the lion) is reunited with his family. All the animals settle in to what would be their natural habitats, but quickly find out that maybe it's not all what it is cracked up to be. Gloria wants to be appreciated for who she is, and not her appearance... Marty wants to stand out from the herd again... and the poor giraffe gets convinced of his mortality and ends up blurting out his big secret just in time... there's also plenty of family pride troubles with Alex and his father, which become worked out after a few... overall it is a fun movie packed with some very catchy tunes that the kids will be singing for days.

The Blu Ray looks great, sharp and detailed. It doesn't look as fantastic as some of the newer films coming out, since it has age and older technology working against it, but the stylized look of the animals helps the movie from looking too dated. This one comes with a DVD as well, which is nice to have in the car on the go, or for the kids' rooms.

I LOVE all of the Madagascar movies. They make me laugh, which we all need that these days. I've watched all 3 of the movies many times, because I never get tired of the funny things they do. Who said this movie is for kids? Heck I'm an old lady & can't get enough of Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria & the rest of the gang. King Julien is a wild & crazy guy!!

King Julian & the penguins...the slightly fem lion and those other of his so called 'friends' are really just vehicles for the adult viewer to watch penguins and the king and MAURICE!! Let's face it, this movie is all about what the adults get out of it. Look, I even tried out some of Moto Moto's lines on my wife. Now, as soon as I'm released from sleeping on the camping cot in the garage, I can fish the movie out of the trash and really get down to memorizing those Moto Moto lines. I want to use them in front of her at our garden parties; YEOW! Great movie; a paradigm of my own life. What to do when you crash and have to make the best of it. Scholars will show this film in film school thirty years from now for its deep and prolific meanings and subtlety. Now, why did she lock the garage door from the outside? Ugh...when my phone battery dies it will be too dark in here.

5.0 out of 5 stars What A Great Laugh-Break!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2013

A good belly laugh is what we all need these days to break the tension of what's going on in the real world. My 9-yr old grandson and I watched M:E2A together and reveled in its slapstick comedy. It characters are "caricatures" of some of the world's most recognizeable animals made cutely endearing with their exaggerated body features and endowed with the "right" human voice personality. We laughed until out of breath at the exaggerated body features made even more hilarious by the dialogue and the impossible slapstick comedy routines during the plane crash, the martial arts, the made up mechanical skills of the monkeys. It was all in your face humor and we loved it. Not even the silly romantic understory of a giraffe falling in love with a "hippie" hippo lady could spoil the fun. We're going to see if we can rent the sequels as well. Bring on the belly laughs!

5.0 out of 5 stars A strong sequel

Surprisingly Madagascar Escape2Africa is as enjoyable as the first film, which these days of shoddy sequels of a feat unto itself. The Bluray transfer is excellent. Picture 5/5 Sound 4/5 (Because it is 5.1) My wife and kids loved the first film and were just as entertained by this one. Also the decision to include DVDs and not digital copies was a wise choice. Every other digital copy I try to download into iTunes fails because they are expired. Why oh why do the studios do this. Digital copies are splashed over the covers of DVDs and now Bluray. So kudos to Dreamworks for including proper DVDs. For those of us that have children and travel, at least me, love having a DVD to play in the minivan and my portable DVD player.

5.0 out of 5 stars I d like to move it...

Yeaaah...

Ein hyperaktives Zebra, eine Giraffe mit hypchondrischer Neurose, ein gutmütiges Nilpferd und ein leicht dümmlicher Löwe reparieren ein Flugzeug unter der Anleitung eines durchgeknallten Lemuren und lassen 4 verrückte Pinguine ans Steuer - klingt komisch??? - Isses auch!!!

Marcel-Reich-Ranitzki würde zwar kaum eine Freude an diesem Animationsspektakel haben, aber das ist auch gut so.

Urkomisch, mit meist einfachen, aber passenden Gags kommen die Hauptdarsteller dieses Films daher. Die Pinguine sind dabei die Oberkrönung. Mit einem teils recht derben Humor ausgestattet, zeigen sie den 4 ehemaligen Großstadtbewohnern wo es lang geht. Untermalt wird das ganze von ordentlicher rockiger Musik und das ganze summiert sich zu einem leicht bekömmlichen, heiteren und kurzweiligen Angriff auf die Lachmuskeln der Zuschauer.

Meine persönliche Meinung: Besser als der erste Teil, weil noch schneller, noch zotiger und von der Handlung her noch komischher.

Mehr muss man glaube ich zum Inhalt und der Story nicht beitragen, einfach anschauen...

Zur Bluray:

Sensationelles Full-HD-Bild. Teils dreidimensionale anmutende Landschaften mit atemberaubender Farbdynamik und -tiefe. Für solche Filme wurde wohl Bluray entwickelt, denn Farbrauschen, Kontrastarmut oder Schlierenbildung sucht man hier vergebens. Pixel sind selbst mit Lupe nicht zu erkennen (gut, liegt natürlich auch an der Hardware).

Einzig die fehlende TrueHD-Tonspur in Deutsch hätte ich mir gewünscht. In Englisch ist sie jedoch vorhanden. Aber auch in DD-AC3 kommt der Sound sehr gut rüber. Die Hintergrundmusik powert ordentlich mit, die Dialoge sind klar verständlich.

Ich habe mir den Film gleich ein zweites mal angesehen und mich köstlich amüsiert. Was will man mehr von einer Animationskomödie? Klare 5 Sterne...

Ach, hätte ich fast vergessen, an diejenigen, die in diesem Streifen Gewaltpotenzial sehen und mögliche Ursachen für spätere Amokläufe. Ich empfehle hier mal den Arzt aufzusuchen. Kinder, die überhaupt schon Fernseh schauen, erfreuen sich in erster Linie an den lustigen bunten Figuren. Die Kleinsten (wie mancher sie nennt) schauen bei mir überhaupt nicht fern. Ich bin auch nicht zum Massenmörder avanciert, obwohl ich früher gesehen habe, wie oft Elmar Fudd Duffy Duck abgeknallt hat oder wie der Hundefänger bei Paulchen Panther von einer Dampfwalze überrollt wie ein Pfannkuchen auf der Straße lag. Darüber hinaus hatte mein 5-jähriger Neffe keine einzige schlaflose Nacht wegen dieses Films. Kein kleiner Mensch wird zum Verbrecher, weil er Madagaskar 2 schaut, genauso wenig weil er einen Ego-Shooter spielt. Diese Begründung wird nur allzu gern herangezogen um von den wahren Gründen, die in den Verfehlungen der Eltern liegen abzulenken.
