Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Moviecritic It's like it was written by a 8-year -old. It was just silly. Unlike other great 80s films, like Gremlins, E.T., Goonies, Back To The Future, and other films aimed at kids, they were cleverly written and well executed. This, however, was just poorly written, structured and over all badly executed. I wanted to have some goofy fun with this interesting concept, but it was difficult to sit through.

reddragonhero17 I grew up watching Universal Studios Monsters as a kid and this movie blends the best together along with some small hints of Ghostbusters and the Goonies in one convenient package. What makes it so much fun to watch is the kid wonder of adventure in one moment and the ability to fulfill one's dream of battling fearsome monsters, plus the interactions the kids have with one another. My favorite of the group is Sean as I was a lot like that when I was younger, followed by Rudy since he's so cool, even dispatching 2 monsters, and finally Horace who overcomes his fear to even dispatch a monster of his own as well. I even like how Frankenstein sides with the kids and befriends Sean's sister Phoebe, not unlike how Chunk befriended Sloth in the Goonies. The final battle is nothing short of spectacular with many kids getting their chance to shine and a small but good leader vs leader showdown. Some aspects, might seem dated, but the charm certainly hasn't aged a bit.

skybrick736 It's a shame that The Monster Squad hasn't gathered more of a cult following since it's such a masterful film that is great to get younger kids started into the horror genre. It's certainly one of the memorable films in my childhood that lifted my passion for horror along with the old classic Universal Monster films, Nightmare before Christmas, Godzilla, and so on. What is undeniable is that a script written like this will never appear in another movie for older children. The modern political correct nature of our world would squash this movie in a heartbeat, which makes this film more unique. There is an abundance of crude humor yet very funny that actually depicts kids being kids. Also a typical imagination of children and their idea of monsters such as Dracula, Wolfman, Gillman and Frankenstein's monster coming to life in their reality makes for a great movie. The Monster Squad defines 80's teen features and campy horror, a real treat for anybody to re-watch after years of enjoying the film or to watch for the very first time.

framptonhollis "The Monster Squad" is a really stupid movie, but, of course, stupid doesn't mean bad! This movie knows its silly and knows its stupid and has a lot of fun with the ridiculous concept. It is over the top, funny, and really entertaining!It is full of stereotypical character types and clichés, but all that really matters in a silly movie like this is the entertainment value. Actually, it is a really interesting film considering it was the first time all of the most famous Universal monsters were together in one film (although in other films a couple of these monsters shared screen time), and it was in color, too! It also is a "Goonies"-esque coming of age comedy with a fantasy-type element to it.I'd recommend the film to most people, especially big fans of horror movies!
