ThiefHott Too much of everything

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

bobby-maddox The best that the second tier animated movies has to offer. By second tier, I mean the movies like Megamind and Cars. This movie had me really laughing a lot. The movie is about Susan. Through an odd turn of events, she is turned into a giant. She is then taken to a compound with other monsters, where no one gets out. But when the world needs help, there is only one place to turn, to the monsters.Every one in this voice cast is hilarious, starting with Reese Witherspoon. She is great as Susan. Seth Rogan is amazing as B.O.B. much better than his role in Kung Fu Panda. Hugh Laurie is second funniest, behind Rogan, as Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. Also Kiefer Sutherland is super funny as General W.R. Monger. Being a huge 24 fan, Sutherland in a kids movie was fun to see.Overall, its not up with the greats in animated movies. But its as close to that first class as any of them. "You see what I mean? No one's leaving. No one's ever getting out...Good news, monsters! You're getting out!...Until today."

Hermione Granger Before I watched this, I was hesitant. Monsters vs. Aliens? What?! No thanks. But I saw it anyway and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's cute and clever, being a great family movie. There's plenty of comedy for both adults and children. Though there are a few rude jokes, the good ones rule them out. The plot is sometimes clever, sometimes cliché. I don't have much else to say. This is an enjoyable, fun, cute, and friendly must-see for the entire family, and definitely the sort worth watching again.

adonis98-743-186503 A woman transformed into a giant after she is struck by a meteorite on her wedding day becomes part of a team of monsters sent in by the U.S. government to defeat an alien mastermind trying to take over Earth. The first time i saw Monsters v.s Aliens i thought it was alright but after seeing it again i thought it was pretty awesome there's a lot of good team work, good jokes, nice action and although the drama doesn't work as much as you wanted it to it's still a very entertaining film and i was surprised that Susan was the leading star not because she is a woman or anything but because her character was so interesting in the TV series everyone gets their amount of screen time but in here it's pretty much her and it totally helped me to like her character more and let's not forget all those famous actors that helped bring this characters to life if you like Aliens, Monsters or animation in general you will not be disappointed.

Tweekums When a meteorite made of quantonium strikes Susan Murphy on the day of her wedding it doesn't kill her; it causes something strange to happen though... just as the service is getting underway she starts glowing slightly green then starts to grow. She doesn't stop growing till she is fifty feet tall! Understandably everybody flees in terror and the army turns up, tranquilises her and takes her to a secret facility where they keep monsters. These include Dr. Cockroach; BOB, a gelatinous blob; (Missing) Link, a strange fish/ape and Insectosaurus an enormous caterpillar like creature. It looks as if Susan will have to spend the rest of her life in captivity with these creatures until evil alien Gallaxhar sends a giant robot probe to Earth to recover the quantonium. The military is powerless to stop the robot so they use the monsters; they manage to defeat it but Gallaxhar realises that Susan has his quantonium so comes to Earth to recover it himself. If Earth is to survive his plans Susan and her monster friends will have to defeat Gallaxhar and his army of clones.This Dreamworks animation has quite a lot going for it; the animation looks good, the characters are fun, the story is exciting enough without being too scary for younger viewers and the numerous references to older films are done in a way that people who haven't seen those films won't feel like they are missing a joke. The voice work was done well with none of the characters sounding overly cartoony. On the downside there are a few jokes which seemed out of place in a film aimed at children... do we really need a joke about the president soiling his trousers? I think not. The opening scene suggested that we were going to be reminded that this was filmed in 3D at every opportunity but thankfully that was the only moment that I thought was gratuitously 3D, which was good as I was watching on television. When compared to the works of Pixar or Dreamworks own 'How to Train Your Dragon' this looks distinctly second best; however it is still pretty good; it might not be essential viewing but it is well worth watching if you are a fan of animated films.
