It is a performances centric movie

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Anyone over 5 won't find this entertaining. It's just another animation following the template made by so many other films. If there is any one good thing to say about it is that it has some big stars in it that the more mature audience can relate to. But all in all it is another bore fest that has been spun out. Don't expect Shrek quality in this one. Boring for the mature people, but probably be alright if you are younger and haven't seen or made the connection with other films. The monsters look pretty cool, but are pretty unoriginal. There is some heartfelt moments, but for the most part it's a been there done that affair.

Most everything coming out of Dreamworks is typically clever and enjoyable. Monsters vs Aliens is full of clichés and some illogical sequences. -the dance revolution mechanism that plays a crucial part in accessing or overriding a computer. -clones holding guns, the master yells ATTACK! Why run towards the enemy ready to punch when your holding a gun? So why does very clone is an ear shot of the word attack do this? -no butterfly of that shape could fly. Absolutely no way.The plot wasn't 100% predictable. I didn't expect the government to actually set them free, so was interested to see how they'd handle being on the outsi- ',oh the cliché way. When posing as clones and demanding the prisoner being handed over, I didn't expect the outcome.Only a few moments made me laugh. The screaming secretary/president and the prisoner scene mentioned previously.75% of this movie was spent rolling my eyes.

I'd like to start by addressing any kids reading this review; get the Fuckk off "The Boards" you little assholes. In the past i have posted many reviews that would not be suitable or understood by the young ones and the last thing i need is to talk another 10 year old through masturbation on skype. One of the main reasons i did not like this movie is because of Regal Cinemas. For starters, i'm 100% sure there was multiple puddles of dried semen on my Real D glasses. When i asked "Monica" who was an employee at the time for another pair, she told me to stop busting her balls. Since i was at Regal of course to my right and left there were families from Somalia who heckled the vast majority of the movie in some third world language. The actual movie was the worst part of the entire experience. I sat through 94 minutes of sheer garbage and was bothered by an on again off again boner that returned in every major fight scene. Overall, the movie had an ongoing message that taught kids it's OK to be different, which is just not true. In actuality if you are different at all you deserve every bit of the cruel and creative sexual harassment techniques of today's youth. I would bet my left foot that there is a sequel on the way that will go straight to DVD and that it will be bought only by the Carvalho family. In closing, I'd like to say on my way out of the Theater a concession stand employee tried to sodomize me behind the arcade. Oh and since i have some extra characters i'd like to make an unrelated prediction. In the next 4-7 years Maya Kirkpatrick will gain 160 pounds.

Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is a woman who got upsized by a meteorite on her wedding day. B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) is a gelatinous, brainless creation after an experiment on a tomato went wrong. Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie) is a scientist who turned himself into a hybrid. The Missing Link (Will Arnett) is a creature found frozen and revived. And giant mutant larva Insectosaurus is a product of nuclear testing. The government has secretly collected these monster and now they need them to fight alien Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson).DreamWorks has gathered all the iconic 50s sci-fi B-movie creations, and formed a pretty cohesive team. It's surprising that the limited backstory allowed the characters to gel so well right off the bat. It's probably due the fact that these characters seem so familiar to us. It also helps that the actors do some great voice work.The story itself has one major problem. The movie is basically split in two parts. The pacing slows down dramatically in the middle after a high intensity fight at the start. However the comedy works well especially the brainless BOB. I think this team has good potential.
