Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
jeffeet This is a fun movie for anyone who has wasted a Friday night or two watching low-brow sci-fi from the 50s on T.V.. It is loaded with in-jokes and references without "winking" too much to the audience. The acting is good, direction is competent and the tone is generally sweet. The special effects are "cheesey, befitting this genera. Consequently, as an homage to the 1950s it works, but as contemporary Sci-Fi, it doesn't. If you loved the "Iron Giant", you will at least find this movie interesting. You will learn the "rules"of rampaging giant monster movies that can be subsequently used while watching "real" 50's films. The "Giant Gila Monster will never be the same.
quantumcat I like this movie; I always like bad creature features, so I rented this one. As it turns out to be, it's one of the better onces I've seenTo me it watches like an ode to the (early) 50's monster movies (e.g. the Blob, with Steve McQueen) so instead of having the cliché's dragging the movie down, the writer(s) turn(s) the effect of the clichés around, by putting them to good use; kind of like Wes Craven did in "Scream". SO in this case: the hero drives a Hot Rod and wears his school' Jock jacket and so...Next to that , the acting is good, the pace is fast, tension is built as tension should built, the special effects look great (given the age, the budget AND the fact that it's a TV movie). I'll be honest: it's not "predator" , it's not "the eye". it's a small flick with good acting, good story with a great pitch that makes it stand out from the rest. All you need as a good evening's entertainment!
linvillefamily Contrary to other reviewers who obviously don't "get" the concept of Monsters!, this film is a delightfully funny two hours of poking fun at every stereotype you've ever seen in a scary movie. Monsters! revels in not taking itself seriously, and spoofing the ridiculous repetitiveness so often seen in "real" monster movies. Watch this film like you watched the 1998 Godzilla re-make and you'll have a rip-roaring good time. How refreshing!!!
gbby21 I've seen this movie and despite the fact that some other people don't know how to appreciate computer effect movies, this movie delivers some cool effects especially the monster. I especially loved Tobias(Toby) Mehler's acting! His extremely good acting skills show off in this movie just like they did when he acted in the Wishmaster 3 movie as one of my favorite Archangels, the Archangel Michael!
