Weak for recent animated fare, we've come to expect a bit more. This plays out mostly as an action picture with jokes. Funny jokes.

It amazes me how far we have come with animation in the last twenty years. As far as the animation goes, this was visually beautiful. The story on the other hand had all kinds of potential, even for a kids movie, but it really didn't live up to it or the hype. The story was alright and kind of fun, but it really didn't pack the punch it could have. That seems to be kind of the problem with these kind of animated movies. Not the best stories. Amazing cast and great voice work. For kids.

BOB was the best part of this!

nice

Maybe a bit clichéd, but the story is also funny and charming. This film is enjoyable to watch and has some pretty hilarious moments. Great.

Not the best animated film, but still sweet and fun. And, for all the predictability, I was surprised (but pleasantly so) by how the film ended up. Bob is hilarious. The animation was good. The film does have some pretty unique twists on a classic story. And there's a nice moral to the story about acceptance (by yourself and others), who your friends are, and, of course, good vs. evil. :) Recommended.

Too Juvenile

It could be better.

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.

The finest 3D I have ever seen. Everything involving Seth Rogen's Blob is brilliant. An excellent cast, cool 3D action scenes, and enough "adult" humour, "inside" humor, and sci-fi movie homages makes this the best a children's movie called "Monsters Vs. Aliens" could be.

Fajna bajka, bardzo mnie sie podobala. Duzo zabawy mialem podczas jej ogladania. Polecam kazdemu kto znajdzie chwilke czasu.

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.

I would've liked this film much more if not for the painful continuation of Dreamworks' efforts to make movies for a team of actors instead of choosing actors for their movies.

This movie I would have gave a 85 however adding the 3D into increased the experience

A few laughs. And better giant robot action sequences than Transformers.

About what you would expect from the trailers, lots of family friendly comedy that is often paced pretty well but not many surprises. The only disappointing thing, in a movie with a title like "Monsters vs Aliens", is the deficit of homage to the old scifi or creature horror that it draws upon. Instead we get humor centered around pop culture relevants like Stephen Colbert and Dance Dance Revolution.

rofl XD

Monsters vs. Alien* for starters. "That would be a really convenient truth" was easily the highlight.

Amusing childrens animation.

Never more than somewhat funny. Great casting for the voices. Seth Rogen as a blob, come on that's funny on its own.

A mildly fun sci-fi kids movie, with emphasis on the "kids" - WALL-E or even Kung Fu Panda this is not, it's shallow as a saucepan and mostly centered around 3D gimmicks and Saturday morning cartoon action scenes on a larger scale. I did like seeing a female protagonist in this sort of movie, though. Seth Rogen has the funniest line delivery.

I wonder if anyone actually bothered to read the script. Waste of funny actors.

Not outstanding, but okay.

recommended :: looked like fun

I thought it was pretty boring and not memorable at all. The animation is pretty neat though

There's not much substance to "Monsters vs. Aliens," but the movie is a visual treat regardless. Featuring a handful of likable, if not quite memorable characters, this animated flick is a brisk 82-minute distraction with big visuals, action, and a pleasant dose of humor for youngsters.

This is a really good movie, B.O.B is by far the best character!! Good family film!

Decent.

Entertaining and very pretty visually

I actually liked some parts and jokes. The problem is that after half an hour I can't remember which. Maybe if I was like 12 or so this movie would have been more memorable for me.

It became a tradition in Hollywood to release numerous CGI animations each year. Some are loved by general audiences, while others are almost ignored. This one is of the later kind. 50's sci-fi monsters are cool, but this movie isn't.

Pretty forgettable but decent for kids.

It's a lot of fun, and it's nice to see a animated female lead character who isn't an idealized princess. Don't go into it expecting the depth of early Disney or Pixar and you won't be disappointed. The references and homages to cheesy sci-fi films of the 50s (I could have sworn I saw some Dr. Strangelove in there too) are the best part.

There's a tragic amount of potential to see squandered in a movie like this.

Stamped on with the current 3-dimensional clique, Monsters vs. Alien is a merry and winsome although obnoxious animated sci-fi spectacle. It numerously hits a number of big laughs, mostly from Seth Rogen's supposedly mindless and notably gelutinous indestructible blue blob and the main highlight and aspect of the film that is in large groups drawing the paying audience into seeing it: The 3D iself. It's gorgeous, luxurious and ultimately grand in it's sumptous yet moronic standard. Decent.
