Amazon.co.uk Review 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 sabre-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 emphasises 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, Amazon.com
Disappointing.March 3, 2010 Melvintrude the Wise(Oxford) Having really enjoyed the first two with my daughter (now nine) in both cinema and on DVD, I was looking forward to the third Ice Age instalment. .
Alas they've run out of steam: the original characters have lost their sparkle and a new weasel character with a nod to Johnny Depp's "Captain Jack Sparrow" irritates rather than amuses.
There are a few good slapstick or visual gags , but overall it's a mess: the sentimental bits are saccharine rather than moving and it just isn't involving like the first two.
Saving grace? .......Sabertooth squirrel Scrat finds a mate as greedy as he is, only far more devious. Without his interludes it would score even lower.

Ice Age 3February 17, 2010 Ms. M. L. Greatrex(Wales, UK) I am a great fan of Ice Age - a humour for adults as well as for children and great for all the family to sit together and laugh.
Although Ice Age 3 dragged at times, it was still good to watch!
