Monsters Vs. Aliens Details

Monsters vs Aliens

Provided you watch this film in 3d, you'll love it's stunning scenes & graphics. More importantly it will take you mind off the fact that there is very little story and no new humour here at all. If you've ever seen a Dreamworks animated film before then there is nothing new here at all. Certainly nothing in the way of jokes or visual humour, I wonder if they've finally run out of fresh ideas? The 3d works superbly well though & is worth seeing for that alone.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Distinctly Average

A lot of people went on about this film, but I think I've come to a conclusion. Any film with 'Vs' in the title is not going to work! Freddy Vs Jason, Alien Vs Predator, Monsters Vs Aliens (and similarly swayed Cats and Dogs) for the simple fact that you have a plot involving two different plots and another being the human element! Crushing all of these together ultimately makes a rather rushed, clumsy film.

The graphics were nice (apart from the obvious 3D gimmick shots) but nothing special, while the plot felt oddly like 'women are best! Men are either retarded or incompetent!' At least I noticed this! There were some funny jokes that made me laugh, while there were a lot of pop culture references, mostly Spielberg film references; seriously... the Close Encounters keyboard-note-playing thing is reaaaaaaaaaaaally old now, stop it.

Pretty average I'd say.
