Anybody seeing Ice Age: The Meltdown this weekend?

I was wondering the same thing. Unfortunately I will not be seeing it anytime soon, but I'd like to hear how everyone else liked it.

I've heard the Scrat stuff is funny, just like last time, but that the rest of the "story, if you can call it that" is very weak. That is not encouraging.

Couple of the guys from work went to see it. I'm going to get a report from them before I decide.

Well, I saw Ice Age 2, finally.

3/5 stars: the story was quite weak, but I thought the characters were generally fun.

Everything just sort of moved along without any real direction (other than "keep going so we don't get flooded"). Once the characters learned their respective valuable lessons the story just kind of ended right there and wrapped itself up. I loved all the Scrat sequences - good old fashioned Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote! But you can basically just watch all the teasers for that...

I thought the animation and visuals were incredible. But that's not an excuse to make a movie.

I think it was just about as good as the first one, so if you loved that one, you'd probably like this equally.

Anyone else see it? Opinions?
