This remains the only movie I've walked out of in the theatre.

not so hot..

One of the most stupendous and totally idiotic films I've seen, but somehow it's all the more endearing for it. Beneath some surprisingly imaginative visionry, portrayed by a host of surreal nightmares, and an entertainingly chaotic Brendan Fraser it does have a brainless appeal. This is a shame, because the rest of the film often feels very rough and the feeling that a little more thought could have gone into the plotline to turn such a inherently flawed idea into a more streamlined escapade.

What is the grace of Monkeybone? None. Fraser doing his role as always, Fonda here only as decoration and W. Goldberg is very annoying.

Bellow average comedy with some good bits, but ultimately quite scary... and not intentionally...

What was that?

Chris Kattan whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!

weird movie

Seriously?

Who is this targeted at? Can't be kids, what with the internal organs, sexual innuendo, bone/chain/etcsaw fights and whatnot. Can't be 'young' adults, because monkeys aren't cool. But it can't be for grown ups, either, because it is a terrible movie. Brendan Fraser is intolerable as always, but it does have some cool visuals and a finale that is ridiculous enough to keep it from being a complete turd sandwich.

Kind of reminds me of Ralph Bakshi's Cool World, in that it seems that something seriously went wrong during production.

It was like Who Framed Roger Rabbit designed for Jim Carrey, spiced with limitless bellow waiste humor. What gave a birth for Monkeybone? Boner for early teenager boy. Lame. There was Rose McGowan as a cat woman but even from that they did not find anything good. Chris Kattan then again was very funny escaping the organ donating. All points for him!

"Wacky Hollywood semi-animated comedy by Henry Selick that frequently wanders into the surprisingly bizarre. But in the end, it's just another below-average comedy vehicle for Brendan Fraser... The mixture of juvenile humor, crude and cartoonish surrealism, wacky and warped humor, some adult raunch, and black humor involving a walking corpse and organ donations, make it unclear who this movie was meant for. Mostly unfunny."

No way near as bad as its reputation suggests. For all its flaws, there is still a vein of great surreal imagery and a black sense of humour, as to be expected from the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I also admit that while most people will find Brendan Fraser and his mugging annoying, I actually enjoyed it immensely; it takes a lot of skill and courage to spend a lot of the film acting like a randy simian and Fraser is far more talented an actor than most would think.
