“Prometheus” VS “Madagascar 3” Movie Reviews – Which One is My Pick of the Week?
Independent Films, Talk Shows, Movie Reviews, Film Profiles
Two big films are opening this weekend, we have “Prometheus” for sci-fi fans, and “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” for the entire family. In “Prometheus,” director Ridley Scott returns to the world he created in “Alien” for this prequel of sorts. This time, the explorers are in search of the history of mankind. Until, dangerous forces intervene. Noomi Rapace channels the strong woman role in the vein of Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley. Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, Logan Marshall-Green, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall, and Patrick Wilson co-star. But my favorite is Michael Fassbender in full android mode as David.
In “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted,” our favorite castaways are back. They’ve taken us to Madagascar and Africa, and now, they want us to visit Europe! Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), and Gloria the Hippopotamus (Jada Pinkett Smith) must join the circus to escape the long arm of the law because by now, they’re Europe’s Most Wanted. Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer, Andy Richter, Frances McDormand, Jessica Chastain, Bryan Cranston, and Martin Short co-star.
So which one is my pick of the week? You may be surprised:
