At 15 years old myself (and still a huge and unabashed sucker for animated movies) I watched this with my younger sister and we thought it was hilarious; we watched it about 3 times through just to fully enjoy the octopi's names, which (no spoilers) are puns. It's a family flick and we you shouldn't expect any groundbreaking twists or riveting storylines, fans of fluff and fooling around can get behind this fun Madagscar spinoff. Expand

I'm here so early with a change of this movie right here. So yes, as we expected... it's staying to be a score of 7. It's just decent that it actually works as a Madagascar spin-off.

This movie is completely underrated, I know the story is weak along with the plot but the jokes make up for it and some good characters so it deserves at least an 8.

We've been waiting for them to finally get a movie for a long time and now we finally have one. I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was really funny but there are a few flaws:
The spy animals are a bit one-dimensional. Plus they never get a backstory. They're a bit random as characters. Then again, so are the penguins.
Also,I think there should have been more scenes that were just the penguins having a bit of banter. When those scenes do come, they're hilarious but there should have been more.
But flawed as it is, it's a fun movie with great comedy. They should just do a sequel to this instead of Madagascar 4. (Seriously, how can you do a Madagascar 4?!)

I'm gonna be honest. I really enjoy the Madagascar franchise. The first was okay, the second was great even if it DID feel like it took elements from The Lion King, and the third was highly enjoyable. But you know who my favorite charactersI'm gonna be honest. I really enjoy the Madagascar franchise. The first was okay, the second was great even if it DID feel like it took elements from The Lion King, and the third was highly enjoyable. But you know who my favorite characters in the movie are? The penguins. So having them get their own film was expected considering the success of their TV series. And it was really fun. Sure, it has it's flaws (which I will get to later), but it makes up for it with some enjoyable action scenes, the fun and lovely animation, and funnier moments with the Penguins. Oh, sorry, I mean the "Peng-wings". It also helps us know them better, like how Skipper treats his team mates, and how Private feels about his position. However, the film isn't exactly perfect, and the problems can be found in the writing. The story seems kind of predictable and WAY too silly, even for a Penguins of Madagascar movie. Also, the jokes mostly fall flat, like the octopuses' names have to be given a joke, like "Nicholas, cage them" or "Kevin, bake on". But luckily, the action and lively animation make it really enjoyable. Expand

Who cares if people hate this movie, or that it's weird? It's pretty funny. I grew up with the lovable Madagascar penguins and the animation in their own movie was breathtaking.

In terms of the plot, it's nothing to brag about. A silly villain with an even sillier plan to take over the world. It's entertaining as ever, however it's seems that they've forced it with a morale that's never been present until the end of the film. In terms of jokes, you just can't help but laugh. It's definetly a movie for your whole family. Expand

Ever since the Madagascar movies, I have been obsessed with the Penguins. I was so happy when their show came out and now we have a movie?! The movies was definitely no disappointment.

It's seems like now days their are a lot of supporting character in Animation movie that just so popular by themselves that they just manage to have their own merchandise and now even having their own movie like Minions ( 2015 ) that willIt's seems like now days their are a lot of supporting character in Animation movie that just so popular by themselves that they just manage to have their own merchandise and now even having their own movie like Minions ( 2015 ) that will come to cinema this year from Despicable Me ( 2010 ) and now the Penguins from Madagascar ( 2005 ) and they already have their own TV-Series so that's quite amazing already.

To be honest this movie is all about the gangs of Penguins the main characters with Skipper , Private , Rico and Kowalski , if you love them or even like them then you will probably have a good time with these characters just so funny , so lovely and their unique characters brought some unique relationship story that just so interesting.

BUT if you don't like them or just like don't care about them that much , then this movie will be pretty boring , with other things outside of the main characters the penguins themselves is just so "Mediocre".

For example the story , it's just so repetitive and predictable we have seen these type of story like ten times already which makes the movie kind of uninteresting.

the other thing that this movie doing quite bad is other supporting character they're so mediocre , uninteresting and boring doesn't matter if it Agent Classified that voice over by Benedict Cumberbatch or the main villain voice by John Malkovich because the written for these characters is just so mediocre , so repetitive that in the end you just don't care about them at all.

For me personally though i like this movie and i'm having a great time but honestly a lot of that come with my like and love for the penguins since first Madagascar ( 2005 ) and i just can't deny the repetitive of the story and supporting characters , so i can't give it any much more score , in the end this is a good movie for penguins gang fans but mediocre movie with others.

The Penguins of Madagascar es una película que, digamos, hace un buen uso de sus características para dar un buen entretenimiento tanto a niños como adultos.

Esta película resulta ser un film atractivo que nos cuenta su historia de una manera bastante excéntrica y que, al fin y al cabo, ese excentrismo acaba siendo una buen elemento que la hace ser poco peculiar. Además, encaja muy bien los aspectos de su trama en el género familiar logrando ser atractiva., siendo así un film que se puede tomar a considerar en las noches de cine de familia.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Penguins of Madagascar is a funny and lovable film . All the actors did well. Those who are familiar with the TV series will hate certain things like penguins turning into monsters. The villain character was not great and the some portions could have been better. The final act was great. Expand

Actually, this film was quite interesting, adventurous and fun! The movie contains the same Thea of suspense, action, adventure and laughable comedy from the previous Madagascar films as well as the TV series of the same name. Stop hating these four adorable little guys and be positive! To me, I was really waiting for a movie solemnly focusing on the four penguins and this film does a successful job bringing their charm and wit to the big screen in 92-4 minutes rather than 25-30 minutes. This is also a very good animation effort! Well done Tom, Chris, Conrad and Christopher! I also wanted to know more about the history of these lovable four spy birds and exactly how they came to New York City and had been living in Central Park Zoo, forming the Nickelodeon TV series ever since. This film is a story of friendship, finding family, teamwork, action and adventure, betrayal and all coated with cartoon comedy! Well done Eric and Simon!! Also there are some charming and heart touching moments. It's fun for the whole family! This movie is funny start to end. A movie that kids will enjoy. The pace is crazy funny, the jokes are humorous. Sound Mixing was OK. this movie will make your eyes cry. And Don't forget this movie. Replay Value: High. Expand

A great film for kids and parents. I actually can't stand the Madagascar films/shorts but this one is pretty good and is in my car for short road trips. Too bad it didn't get good press and will likely be the last one.
