Summary: When a meteorite from outer space hits a young girl and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years.
"Monsters vs. Aliens" continues DreamWorks recent general improvement from the total crap to actually making some mildly entertaining movies. The interaction between the five main monster characters is great, and funny, but screen time given to any other characters is flat, dull and often typical DreamWorks cliché nonsense when it comes to the jokes. Still, even with an ineffective villian, "Monsters vs. Aliens" will entertain just enough to make it worth watching.
The animation in this film was good.I found the good guys to be engaging and distinctive while the bad guy was cookie cutter.The plot is more geared towards kids and not layered for adults like the best animated films are.Overall if you are a fan of computer animation or have young children (10 and under) this is a good film to check out.
not very good. seth rogen as the blob named bob is really the only funny part of the entire movie, evidenced also by the fact that they made a short film all about just him, cuz they knew the rest of the film sucked.
A battle royale where the main Monster is not really, and the Aliens are, actually, just a singular 1. Way to go, claphappy title creator. However this film's issues would be easily overlooked if its comedy weren't so clearly shoehorned into the plot it tries to create. I love obscure movie references but I dunno if kids these days even know who Beverly Hills Cop (or Eddie Murphy, for that matter) is.
It's a tragedy that such a talented, star-studded cast were given such an unfunny and unimaginative script to work with. I felt like it strained so hard for laughs with every joke and ultimately failed; the plot contains zero surprises. As for the animation, although it's exquisitely detailed, I found the humans were downright creepy (the way the eyes and mouths moved, or possibly the exaggerated design of them), and the action choreography was lacking. Don't expect another Kung Fu Panda.
Slightly better than I initially thought, but nothing really memorable. The only thing I really think is notable about the movie is the humorous president and the "That would be a really convenient truth" line.
