Franchise Killer

Warning: Spoilers
While everyone else in the world adores penguins, there is one group out to destroy their cuteness. Their name is...

Dreamworks Studios.

Even though skipper, kowalski, rico, and private are amazing characters, combining the elements of penguin cuteness, sophisticated humor, and slapstick comedy, this movie certainly did not uphold those previous character elements.

The first part of the movie is a nice introduction to how the penguins became who they are now and gave a nice backstory. However, the rest of the movie (to put it lightly), sucked REALLY bad. This was easily the worst Dreamworks movie I had ever seen. The main villain looks like a cartoon version of a Tim Burton character, the plot is meaningless, and the jokes are few and far between.

They could have made countless jokes about fracking, global warming, oil spills and the countless other environmental problems we have today. They could've gotten morgan freeman to do the introduction, they could have had a few cameos from the other madagascar characters.

(SPOLIER SENTENCE NEXT)

But instead, the main villain was an octopus that was jealous of how cute the penguins were so he captured them all and tried to turn them ugly. So they partnered up with four one dimensional secret agent characters who somehow have millions of dollars. Care to elaborate on those characters? Can we have an introduction? Maybe just something? No? Okay.

I'm sorry but what a waste. Seriously the transformers movies have a comparable plot. Wait did I just say that?

Sparknotes: Do yourself a favor and don't go see this movie. It honestly spoiled the Madagascar franchise for me.

SERIOUSLY IT SUCKED
