Monster Island Trailers

Young Lucas finds out he's not really a human after he surprisingly transforms into a monster in front of the most popular kids at school. His search for Monster Island and his real roots takes him on a fabulously scary journey that puts him face to face with more tentacles, fangs and far-out situations than he can shake one of his new wings at.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
pokemondarkside Not much I can say except I don't see why people keep saying its a great movie, the plots boring, the voice acting's pretty bad, and the designs of the characters are confusing and nauseous. I will give it one up side and say that the animating is alright but other than that this movie has a lot that is just not going for it. The buildings in the city are too cartoony for a movie with this style, there main character is somewhat dull. Now all that being said the movie's idea is good, its a near classic but the way it was shown was not done well. And one more thing, the main character seems to be too heavily protected by plot, he seems to have a solution to each problem and doesn't seem to have a struggle.
gewoonnielstuinman This movie gives me very mixed feelings....the story feels of and doesn't have a very fluid pacing,then again the animation style isn't ugly and it's pretty unique.There are several animation errors and at the end they give some sudden message about family or something? (again..the pacing is wierd) It's a bad movie that I wouldn't recommend you to watch personally but I think a four year old could get some enjoyment out of it,hence why this review gets a 4 out of 10
Doctor Skellington It's traditional in most movies to have what's called a colour palette, a finite range of colours which sets a mood and makes it easier on the eye, this movie eschews this tradition. Its standard of computer graphics reminds me of old Playstation FMV scenes that played out inbetween the game play, the look mainly reminds me of Spyro.The animation itself isn't that bad, but it has that unsubtle mime-like kind of motion where everyone ducks, shrugs and gesticulates on every syllable. The camera floats from point to point in every scene. The voice acting often has that sound LIKE someONE reading FROM a SCRIPT with no IDEA about conTEXT or APPropriATE emphaSIS for THIS bit, but they can do a funny voice or three, or four, or five.The story itself is a reasonably well paced paint by numbers male tweenager pleasing tale of going on a journey of self discovery, a 'child becomes a man' type fantasy adventure, with pretty standard stuff about defeating evil and the school bullies and showing the world it can't be the boss of you, with the monster angle being used as an unsubtle analogy for adolescence, and of course by the end the now obligatory single parent learns to trust more and promises to try harder, everybody hugs, hearts are warmed.End with an upbeat pop song and a wink to camera, roll credits.It's all perfectly watchable, it just isn't trying very hard.Kids will love it.
Miracles Happen When I started watching this movie I had no idea what to expect, by the title I thought it was just going to be another monster movie... but I was wrong. The story is really captivating and I bet a lot of teenagers may easily identify with the main characters. A lot of metaphors have been used in the story to talk about being different and how to accept yourself the way you are. I found it very honest in the portrait of each single character who is presented as they are with both their virtues and vices. This is definitely a film which you can enjoy with the entire family because, apart from making you laugh, it will teach you a lesson or two about the consequences of feeling excluded by the rest of society. Great job!
