This is my first review to anything because of this movie ,I got bound to write a comment for this movie. I really appreciate work of all cast to put such a good movie.

Penguins of Madagascar (2014): Dir: Eric Darnell, Simon J. Smith / Voices: Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights, Conrad Vernon, John Malkovich: Amusing followup to the popular Madagascar animations. Here the focus is on the three sharp wit penguins who are joined by a newly hatched fourth in the film's opening. These penguins are fairly interchangeable yet somehow manage to entertain viewers with their dimwitted confidence. The villain is an octopus whose first amusing gripe is that his name is Dave. Dave's back story is that the penguins stole his spotlight years ago and he is set to vanquish penguins from being adoring to people. The penguins are reluctant to accept the rescue and assistance of a group of animal spies called the North Wind Elite consisting of a wolf, polar bear, snow owl, and seal. This all climaxes with the least of thee stepping up and Dave being brought down. Dave is voiced with manic hilarity by John Malkovich whose outbursts in previous roles lend favorably to render Dave appropriately over the top. The penguins are innovative in their counter, never looking at the overbearing odds, choosing instead the naive road less likely and somehow landing on their feet. Directors Eric Darnell and Simon J. Smith have fun with a script littered with great celebrity name references throughout the film. The animation is quirky and often innovative particularly in the use of the penguins black and white colour code during a break in to get at cheese dibs. This is not anything more than empty headed popcorn entertainment for kids but the title stresses reputation and these penguins live it up. Score: 8 / 10

Back when Dreamworks came out with SHREK, the studio was truly the equal to Pixar. Yet, sadly, over the years, Dreamworks has continued to make CGI films of diminishing quality...with a few exceptions, such as their brilliant HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. Otherwise, it's been a long succession of films where mediocrity seems just fine with the studio...with films like MONSTERS VERSUS ALIENS, MADAGASCAR, THE BEE MOVIE and KUNG FU PANDA...pleasant but nothing more. And, sadly, it's also become the studio of sequels...and this one is a sequel to a TV show to a sequel...which has "direct to DVD and Neflix" written all over it! If I sound not particularly impressed by much of their work it's because that pretty much sums it up.So what you have with THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR is mediocre CGI compared to the competition, characters aimed strictly to the kids and a plot that seems like it was written by some folks who were under the influence! It's watchable but nothing more.Sadly, the film really starts off well...and it got my hopes up that it would be a cute little film. I loved having Werner Herzog doing the voice of the nature documentarian since Herzog has made a ton of wonderful documentaries. And, this initial portion, though funny, had nothing to do with the rest of the film...nothing!As to the actual story, it's just bizarro and kind of stupid...and if you haven't seen the film and are reading this part of my review, you'll think I am making this up because it makes no sense and seems to very random. The penguins break into Ft. Knox to get to a snack machine. But the snack machine is a trap and there's an evil octopus inside who somehow knows that the penguins are coming...and he wants to trap them in his bizarro plan of revenge. Dave the Octopus apparently hates these penguins because they got more love and attention when they all lived at the zoo. So, he disguised himself as a human, became a top genetic scientist and now is bent on destruction!! And, it only gets weirder from here....with even more villains, a trip back to Madagascar in a packing crate, mermaid penguins and more...none of which make sense...especially for penguins. There's much more...with some plot involving world travel and some other animals...but I really stopped paying close attention by this point. Who writes this sort of nonsense?! And, more importantly, do they get PAID to do this?!?! So much of the film just seems completely random...like they took plot ideas out of a hat and strung them all together.I really think the other reviewers are way too kind to this film. It has a current rating about 6.0...and I have no idea why. Perhaps they are judging strictly by how much kids enjoy the film--and that is fair. But even for a kids film, I think you could easily do better. Even one of the lesser Dreamworks films like MONSTERS VERSUS ALIENS or MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN are a lot better than this bizarro film. Plus for adults, this film is insufferably boring and senseless.FYI--When I watched this with my daughter, she fell asleep in the middle of it.

I don't see the attacks Dreamworks has been getting for their movies for many years with the exception of Kung Fu Panda and How To Train Your Dragon. I liked HTTYD but haven't seen Kung Fu Panda. And I thought the sequel to HTTYD was meh... kind of boring... But I thought their movies such as this, Home and Mr. Peabody & Sherman were pretty good. I was skeptical about them because the trailers and the premises didn't look too interesting and I'm not a fan of the T.V. series this was based on but I kind of liked it, it was action-packed, suspenseful and comedic!I know that Dreamworks can be disgusting and silly with their movies, but it's not like they're Pixar and that they make movies with violence and sex in them. Nor do they make saccharine Disney movies. But there's not much wrong with their movies nor this one except that I thought the Chinese people were drawn pretty badly.The penguin that throws up is probably my least favorite. But overall, this was a unique film and makes it yet another pretty good film of Dreamworks but not up to standards of the likes of HTTYD and Shrek.It's just Dreamworks can't seem to make good T.V. series and sequels. But I suggest you to go watch this. I think that teenagers will enjoy it as will children.
