Monsters vs. Aliens

The ultimate blast! Instead of the tired self-awareness stories, the creators of Shrek came up with an action-packed blockbuster that's bursting with references (I was screaming with laughter at the keyboard!), great humor, and a punishingly huge barrage of catchphrases. It’s ninety-four minutes of undiluted entertainment that will be appreciated especially by the older folks (those who enjoy the aesthetics of 1950s monster movies will snort with delight). Cartoon of the year, no question about it! (2009-09-06)

I don't know, it wasn't all that great. I was probably expecting this cartoon to be more "adult", with more sci-fi references and stuff, which I shouldn't have done. Instead, I got a nicely made fairy tale with (another in a series... God, slow down already!) moral lessons that went by quickly, but most of it didn't really stick in my head. The most sympathetic character from the team of "good guys" is definitely the (semi)crazy Dr. Cockroach, but the aliens are the ones that entertained me the most in Monsters vs. Aliens. Especially their leader - a wonderfully slimy, evil bastard. A perfect film for children, whilst adults only need to see it once. Too bad I’m not a kid anymore - everything would be so pretty, colorful, cute, and in 3D to boot! (2010-06-26)

A pleasant, animated blockbuster that parodies a large group of American sci-fi and horror film productions. It is not as strong in terms of plot as it is with a series of catchphrases, a likable team of heroes, and a villainous antagonist. Overall impression: 70%. One of those movies that will please children and not offend adults. (2009-12-16)

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. (2012-06-09)

For all the tripping up, dancing around and hitting of heads with a imaginable things, they forgot about... Well, about everything, in fact. All hail the exceptions in the form of the original dubbing, what was written on the rocket and those few good nods to the monster/UFO B-movies of the fifties. (2009-10-06)
