Madagascar 3 is light and breezy and enough fun, even if it is a little hollow and missing the crackling wit of the previous films. When the curtains come down on this adventure, you’ll leave the cinema smiling… It’s like that old friend you enjoyed hanging out with, but are in no hurry to meet anytime soon again.....Read Full Review

With the summer vacations just concluding, this is a film that you want to hurry up and watch with the kids before their school-bus begins pulling up outside your home again. the film wraps up on a note of closure, suggesting that Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is the final film in the Madagscar franchise. If so, the conclusion could not be any more epic......Read Full Review

The third installment of the computer-animated comedy is arguably the most enjoyable of the series. The screenplay takes a little time to gather momentum. The final circus acts are dazzling displays of visual exuberance. All seen and savoured, Madagascar 3… makes for a richly rewarding 3D experience......Read Full Review

There is hardly time to register or ponder over what unfolds; it’s so fast-paced it could get nauseous. Add to this a spectacularly colourful and playful display of pyrotechnics, set appropriately to Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’. Madagascar 3 does not shy away from glorifying animals in circuses, but they’re all having fun and entertaining you to bits......Read Full Review

What’s Good: The laugh-a-minute screenplay; King Julien’s romance; the circus’ big eye popping performance.
What’s Bad: The movie might seem a bit fast for some.
Verdict: Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted is a complete, fast-paced entertainer......Read Full Review

The team of animators headed by Eric Darnell have created some fantabulous visuals for you to remain awestruck plus Hans Zimmer’s music will keep ringing in your head (ta-ta-tada-ta-ta Afro Music). Needless to say, this one will add to your list of collectibles sooner or later. Watch alone, with your kid or in a large group in 3D or in 2D – the impact will be the same.......Read Full Review
Verdict: Traverse with the characters across continents, while learning lessons & humming the fabulous soundtracks.

Entertainment Weekly: By Owen Gleiberman Grade: B+

In animation, the next best thing to a grand vision is crack comic timing. The third chapter in the saga of Alex the lion (Ben Stiller) and his Central Park Zoo pals has timing up the wazoo. The story in Madagascar 3 is functional, but the antically civilized spirit is infectious.......Read Full Review

McClatchy-Tribune News: By Roger Moore Rating: 2.5/4

Its a riot of splashy colors, silly 3-D gimmicks, big, broad kid-friendly gags - and those professionally pesky penguins. And for adults, there’s the charming spectacle of Oscar winner Frances McDormand giving voice to her inner Edith Piaf. “Madagascar” has always had that subtext, but it’s been less about message and more about laughs. And “Europe’s Most Wanted,” despite its shrinking ambitions and slow spots, still delivers those — usually in a South Pole tuxedo......Read Full Review

Like a big-screen Big Gulp, this third installment of the billion-dollar animated franchise contains as much cinematic confection as an 85-minute movie can bear......Read Full Review

"Mad 3" goes from stasis to breathlessly berserk, a full-on hallucination of light, color and kinesis worthy of an LSD trip. off-kilter wit and smarts to an animated bestiary that keeps you laughing while eloquently redefining where home is......Read Full Review

The animation is grand, and the lovely images may be enough to send really young kids away happy. Their parents might leave feeling they've been taken in by some carny sleight-of-hand, though......Read Full Review

Variety: By Justin Chang Rating: Thumbs Up

This is the rare animated property that has consistently improved on its ho-hum origins, as 2008's "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" delivered unexpectedly fine character shadings and a less grating sense of humor than the 2005 franchise-starter. A bit crammed but not too crowded, zipping along at a well-modulated, rarely frenetic pace, "Madagascar 3" generates considerable excitement with a pair of circus-act climaxes that even the excessive use of Katy Perry's ubiquitous pop single "Firework" cannot entirely extinguish......Read Full Review

  2. Ah! This is nice. I can show this movie to my kids. They are already getting very bored because they exhausted all the series by Andy Yeatman on Netflix. I really need to find good shows and movies for them because their vacation is about to begin.
