Just eat and play cool

Selling cuteness may be the kingly way, but some people prefer to eat and play cool. Although the Penguin Gang of Four has always appeared as a supporting role in the Madagascar series, each time it appears, it does not hesitate to attract the attention of the audience, with a kind of " The attitude of "We are different from yours" is rushing for a sense of existence. They are more like an inseparable whole than the four protagonists, a mad and cool boss and several team members with their own strengths. The other animal styles are cartoons. When they arrive, they are properly transformed into gangster action movies. Every time they look at them, they seem to be out of order and actually work every time. The set of actions that work together in one go is really impressive. It was very enjoyable to watch, no wonder it became the most popular character in this series of animations, and was finally put on the big screen by DreamWorks as the protagonist.
The story is not very novel, and the 3D effect is not outstanding. Since you become the protagonist, you must have a supporting role. Although in my opinion, these supporting roles are relatively tasteless in all aspects, that is, they exist to set off the protagonist. I'm afraid of stealing the protagonist's sense of existence. It belongs to the type that suddenly disappeared and no one thinks where these guys have gone. Oh, no longer. That's okay. Penguins are really cute, but the penguins of Madagascar are cute because they are cool. It can be seen that the producer is trying to make the penguins become cute and take the hot route recently. But thankfully, these four guys still take the cool route. The action scenes are still enjoyable, so although selling cute to save the world, but For the Gang of Four Penguins, the fist is the last word.
A certain setting in the film is a bit similar to a popular cute animation in the world, so watching the story is not so interesting that it is a little cheesy, but fortunately for me, the focus is not on the storyline, so if the plot is Those who are more demanding may be disappointed, but for those who want to see penguins play cool, they still say that it’s a pass, so please continue this route, thank you rookie, although it looks cute, but there is one The heart of taking the tough guy route.
Sometimes a character who shines as a supporting role becomes the protagonist but can't support the feature film. That's because it is a starting point. Fortunately, the style of penguin is different. The maverick of the cool penguin shines. If it becomes a complete selling cute film, it will completely lose its charm.
It’s too depressing to have to complain about the lack of an original version. Although I don’t know if the dubbing has been changed, it’s a pity that I can’t hear the voices of those penguins and the iconic name Skipper, not to mention the final issue. There is a cameo by an old friend with a very special voice. Even though there is nothing special in general, the cool protagonist is still worth a cool five-star.
