It delivers the funny and that all it needs to do!

Hey Guys, watched Monsters vs Aliens for the second time recently this time on DVD so it was without the added bonus of true 3D. However the movie is still brilliant in my eyes. I thinks its Dreamworks first good animation since Shrek and although it won't be remembered as much as Shrek it delivers on equal entertainment. Even though it is classified as a family film it's humor is more for grown ups without being too offensive. Even the second time I noticed more subtle jokes that I missed the first time I seen it. The story line is a bit quick but I think if they tried to do anything else for the characters it would have been something already done to death in animations. It was just the right amount of self belief story we need the rest of our attention could go towards enjoying the act...

Too short film that lacked the "oomph!"

I have to say that watching a 3D film was quite an enjoyable experience! The 3D effects were very well done, especially in the battle scenes, when it felt like debris was being littered all over the cinema hall. The first time that happened, I nearly wanted to raise my hands to shield myself! Unfortunately, the 3D experience was just a glossy finish. With underdeveloped characters and a penchant for slapstick humour, especially embodied in the buffoon of a president, there wasn't much to like in "Monsters vs Aliens".

Monsters vs Aliens

I went into this one with low expectations based on other reviews, and ended up enjoying the fillm very much. I laughed out loud several times. It was hip, irreverent, and silly... and the the 3D was compelling without being distracting. I agree that the only emotional hook was the story of Ginormica, but it was like Shakesperean theater compared to the original "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman"!

The other good news? It was another example of a soke-free animated movie, earning a SmokeScreeners rating of No Butts! http://tinyurl.com/cw8vd5

Needed More Heart

While the animation does look great in 3D, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would because it didn’t have enough heart. Essentially, as the title suggests, monsters must battle aliens. Reese Witherspoon lends her voice as Susan Murphy, a woman who gets turned into a giant after being in contact with a meteorite. Other stars include Seth Rogen as B.O.B the blob, Hugh Laurie as Dr. Cockroach Ph.D., Will Arnett as The Missing Link, Kiefer Sutherland as General W.R. Monger, Rainn Wilson as the villanous Gallaxhar, Stephen Colbert as the President of the United States, and Paul Rudd as Derek Dietl, Susan’s self-centered husband-to-be. Their voices didn’t distract me from the story but I wish the story was more interesting. Even though there’s references to other movies like “Close Encou...
