DVD Reviews of Ice Age: Dawn of the DinosaursDVD Review: Awesome Movie!!! Summary: 5 StarsI just Love watching all of the Ice Age Movies. I'm never let down. Worth owning.
DVD Review: A good note to finish on Summary: 4 StarsIf this is the final Ice Age movie, it would be a good way complete the story line. I would rate it 4.5 stars if it was possible.
The story is pretty good. The usual characters are all in true form. Sid is a bit more annoying than previous movies, but hey, he's Sid. The storyline of the dinosaurs is done pretty well. The humor is a bit more subdued than the previous two. One reviewer said that they are crude 1-liners. However, I have never considered the Ice Age movies for small children. This one is definitely not for small kids. This movie ends on a fairly final note, so I don't think there will be any others. If there are no more, this one does finish out the story on a good ending.
DVD Review: Cool Summary: 5 StarsThis is a great movie all of your favorite characters are back in this third installment of the series. this movie rocks
DVD Review: DinoMania Summary: 4 StarsWhat fun for everyone! The characters are back and we love them just as much as the first 2 movies. Good storyline and great characters make for a good family night movie for any age.
DVD Review: the ultimate age Summary: 5 StarsIce Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is pretty much exactly like the other Ice Age movie I watched a couple years ago- incredibly exciting animations, a constant flow of humor and creativity, and a distinct amount of craziness and whackiness to every single one of the talkative forest critters in the woods, haha.
What makes the Ice Age series so wonderful is that *all* the characters are memorable, not just a select few. These animated animals travel through rivers, down dangerous paths, fall down steep cliffs, ride through volcanos and waterfalls... this is actually some of the prettiest animation I've ever seen, second only to the Simpsons I suppose.
Anyway, the story in this film is about the sloth character who discovers dinosaur eggs, and when they hatch, he wants to mother them. Of course "you know who" doesn't want that to happen (the mother dinosaur) and from there, the adventure of a lifetime takes place.
I still believe adults can enjoy these type of movies just as much as children. You don't have to buy these kind of films for children only.
I was laughing the entire time, and I believe you will too. That is, if you share a love for animated comedies the same way I do. Even when you're not laughing, you'll be so amazed by the neverending creative aspect of the storytelling that you won't bother caring about anything else. A flawless film.

Item Type: DVD Movie Item Rating: PG Street Date: 10/27/09 Wide Screen: yes Director Cut: no Special Edition: no Language: ENGLISH Foreign Film: noSubtitles: no Dubbed: no Full Frame: no Re-Release: no Packaging: Sleeve Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs opens with the stitched-together prehistoric family about to become a biological one: Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) and his mate Ellie (Queen Latifah) are expecting a baby mammoth. Unfortunately, this makes Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) feel left out. Diego, who worries he's losing his edge, decides to head out on his own, while Sid adopts three suspiciously large eggs that he's found through a crack in the ice. Up to this point, the movie is perilously sappy--does anyone, particularly a kid, want to watch a kid's movie about parenthood and impending middle age? Fortunately, the eggs turn out to be dinosaur eggs from a pre-mammalian underworld, and when the mama T-Rex comes to rescue her rambunctious little ones, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs transforms into a delightful comic adventure. The emotional side of the Ice Age movies has always been a tad mawkish, so it's smart that Dawn of the Dinosaurs emphasizes physical comedy. Clearly, the animators have been inspired by a wild fusion of Road Runner cartoons and Buster Keaton. The character of Scratte, with his non-verbal, monomaniacal efforts to get that last acorn (doubled in this movie with the addition of a female counterpart), is only the most obvious reflection of this sensibility. The animators have great fun with the differences in scale between the mammals and the dinosaurs, and the introduction of a deranged Australian weasel named Buck (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead) pushes everything into Loony-Tune territory. Let Pixar tug at our heartstrings; Ice Age aims to tickle the funny bone and does a fine job of it. --Bret Fetzer
