Plots(1)
When Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a "Monster" named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound filled with other "monsters" like herself. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, P.H.D.; the macho half-Ape-half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to save the world from imminent destruction.

A good film with great animation, where you can laugh at Blue Bob (who, even though he has gelatin for brains, spits out funny lines like on a treadmill) or Godzilla's invertebrate relative. Although in many ways a parody of other films, this enjoyable film retains its originality and dignity - 75%.

Even after ten years, I still find this animated film entertaining. Sure, the story isn’t as sophisticated as Toy Story, but it's much more action-packed (and not in the usual dumb way), it contains a lot of great one-liners (especially by Link and B.O.B.), only the main villain seemed rather weak. Fortunately, the president and the doctor's crazy laugh were excellent. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I really can't help it... it was making me feel slowly nauseous. I don't understand how, it's never happened to me before, but this one disgusted me so much that as much as I hate to give a garbage rating, this deserves nothing less from me. I'm really sorry, but the boredom and disgust this film stirred up in me is just unforgivable.

In terms of entertainment and jokes, I think it’s unexpectedly weak. I can’t complain about the animation or the story, which again brings something new and surprisingly tries to push the envelope quite a lot. Unfortunately, though, I don’t remember anything particularly interesting or amusing during the film, or a character that I grew to love, which I perceive as a big flaw in these animated films. A level below Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

This week there were quite a few animated movies, but it's true that I was looking forward to "Monsters vs. Aliens" for a long time. After all, I was quite curious to hear the voices of actors like Seth Rogen or Hugh Laurie. Additionally, the title seemed quite promising. True, I was expecting a slightly rougher film that wouldn't just be ordinary family entertainment, but I still think that the characters were modeled in such an interesting way that it's not a complete waste of time. For fans of B-movies, there are quite a few references that can make you smile. The storyline is quite good, really like a B-movie sci-fi. A woman wants to marry her dream man, but her day is slightly ruined when he tells her that there will be no dream trip to Paris, and instead they will just go to Fresno, California, which is definitely not the biggest city of all. Nor the most interesting. But even the wedding doesn't happen, as a meteorite suddenly comes from space and hits the future bride. Fortunately, she survives, surprisingly, but everyone at the ceremony witnesses a strange event. The bride starts to glow. And then she suddenly starts growing. To literally enormous proportions. An army instantly surrounds her and pacifies her. They discover that there are more monsters, creatures that were created by an experiment, but she is the only one that still looks human. Also the only one that the alien and his hundreds of clones are after. Like I said, it's like a great B-movie and that's what it resembles the most. The monster characters are interesting enough to appeal to the audience, although the villain is not particularly outstanding, but that's not a problem. The tricks he uses are deadly enough. Of course, the story has to have a clear script, there's nothing really new here, so the biggest surprise is that the protagonist starts growing at the beginning. But nothing too revolutionary, right? Ultimately, it's a decent movie that doesn't impress with anything significantly new, but manages to captivate with its characters and their humor.
