A waste of your time - Madagascar Reviews

A promo I watched for "Madagascar" deluded me into believing this would be a dumb but funny movie. How wrong I was... all the funny parts were condensed into the promo, leaving me with nothing to enjoy but the good graphics. There is no plot whatsoever, the characters become increasingly annoying as the film wears on, the filmmakers force in some strange moral at the end--"don't eat your friends," basically--and there was little or no coherence between scences. If I hadn't been enjoying the popcorn, I'd have walked out of the theater an hour into the film. Dreamworks has put out some amazing, well thought-out computer animated movies in the past... I only hope "Madagascar" is not indicative of a Disney-like downward spiral of quality of ideas!
