Review
Greetings, this is Film Guru Lad here, I'm sorry that I didn't review 'Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa', but it's still in the works, well here's 'EUROPE'S MOST WANTED'. I am..... well-amazed that this third sequel has turned out to be dazzling. It still has the good characters and voice acting by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and Sacha Baron Cohen, I found it very humorous with lots of laughs and great computer animation. I really enjoyed the circus act scene that has the glow in the dark features, plus usage of a song by Katy Perry.

One question, is 'EUROPE'S MOST WANTED' better than the last sequel? I thought so and it's a must-see for viewers including families and children.

Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
