You read the title correctly (so no need to worry about spoilers). These adorable penguins now star in their very own movie. It's a kind of film like the MCU solo entries where their events take place after a movie but are not a sequel nor a spin-off. But there is one thing different from the Penguins of Madagascar and MCU solo entries. Penguins of Madagascar is a movie that felt like Despicable Me 2 all over again. I don't know which one is copied among Shrek (Puss in Boots), Madagascar (Penguins of Madagascar), and Despicable Me (Minions), but I find this movie 30% disappointing. The spin-off idea felt like I was watching the Minion movie, or even a kid-friendly MCU entry. Yet this film is 70% entertaining! It's not the best Dreamworks has done. It's not even the worst. It's average, not good, not bad. Those funny scenes still make me laugh up to now. These penguins are still memorable, too. The pun humor idea feels like a new thing from Dreamworks. The humor in Dreamworks movies may be the only new thing and nothing else, but they still entertain! Remember, if any Dreamworks movies lack better humor, you can always remember the storytelling. This one is not gonna part of the best Dreamworks movie bookshelf, but you will still be entertained. Benedict Cumberbatch and John Malkovich's octopus and husky voice, funny jokes, and entertaining spin-off story makes this entertaining! But the movie still leaving a 30% disappointment rating. Nevermind. This movie is still entertaining anyway.
